Hello everyone!
Im not use to being internet savvy` or blogging so this might take some time for me to get everything looking pretty :)
My husband and I are planning weightloss surgery together. We have been married for 15 years and are experiencing health issues because of the obesity. We have four beautiful children and want to experience life with them and our future grandchildren in a healthy state of being.
We both have been obese since childhood. We met when I was at my lowest weight 145 size 12/14 and my hubby was at his highest 310 size xxl-xxxl.
After four children I have gained and weigh more than I ever have. I am a 260 size 24/3x
My husband is at his highest in his lifetime 315.
After us trying for three years of battling through weight loss this and that we are ready to use the bariatric surgery approach to achieve our individual goals for health..
This is a thread site I found for the right amounts and WHY for each of the vitamins we need after RNY
Im still trying to find the best one to take. Im chewing my chentriums daily.
I have a bottle I carry with me and take them when ever I open my purse because I see the bottle right there I take it!
I loved my Low Carb Friends board and just wanted to add my favorite recipe from there. I think it will work just fine with this diet. I will try it soon!
If You Want A Sandwich and Can't Have Bread-Look
Here is something which makes really good sandwiches. I found the recipe here somewhere, but I can't find it anymore to give credit where credit it due. Hope they don't mind my posting it.
It can be eaten during induction because there is no flour in it.
There is only 1 carb per slice if it makes 12 "slices".
Basic Recipe:
6 egg whites
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
4 egg yolks
3 ounces softened cream cheese
pinch of salt
Beat egg whites & cream of tartar until VERY stiff. Turn bowl upside down & if the whites don't slide, they are stiff enough.
In a small bowl mix together the other ingredients. Gently fold the yolk into the whites using a spatula.
Generously spray a couple of cookie sheets with pam.
Spoon out mixture into piles on cookie sheets. I spread the mixture out to about the size of a slice of bread. Don't get it too thin or it will be too crisp. I usually get 10-12 "slices" depending on the size of the eggs.
Bake at 300 degrees about 35 minutes. They will be lightly browned.
Using a spatula, remove them to a wire rack to cool. When cool, put them in a ziplock bag and store in refrigerator. Make some holes in the bag so they won't get soggy.
We eat them with hamburgers instead of buns. They are GREAT!
Ok,
I never realy thought about this but I know that they happen.
Kidney stones
Taking in extra calcium---
this lady had an experience that was horrible.
She learned that drinking lemon water, lemonade, will help the calcium not to form stones.
