Hiya all...

This morning had my medical visit...and my doctor pushed me on avoiding all breads/rolls..white/wheat, Rice, Potatoes, all potatoes, all cereals..No more fiber one cereals..and of course sugar and junk foods.. I gained 4 Lbs...but not much and still holding well with a 33 Lbs lost so far!!!

My food staples are now fruits,veggies,proteins..

My next appointment on seeing her will be in October for my last yearly visit.and weigh in.

I know why I gained..been eating way to much wheat bagels..and now I must avoid them too...ugh..

Today I did good, ate fruits..and dinner will be sauages w green peppers.. I am proving to my medical doctor that I am losing and no need for surgery. With my walking and new food adjustments on fruits,veggies and proteins...

Just wanted to share...Have a great one all,,..
Liliann :)

Liliann, thanks for sharing your medical report. 4 lb is such a small wt gain. Congrats on the 33 lb wt loss. It is tough to cut out so many foods that are so good.
I do hear that a lot to increase protein.
You did good today with dinner with sausage and peppers.
Just take one day at a time and we'll go forward. At least Oct is a few months away.

I think cutting them out completely, forever, is just going down a path to "cheating". At least it is for me. I allow myself a LITTLE bit of starch/grains and it's been much easier to stick to than when I cut them out. Then I would binge, binge, binge when I felt bad!
