[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 141475, member: 3907"] Wow, Marg. I am in awe of your discipline in maintaining such a strict diet. I do know that conventional wisdom has it that 1 kilo a week is a good pace at which to be losing weight, and that it gives you the best chance of keeping it off. I hope that it keeps working well for you and that your weight loss doesn't slow down until you've lost what you need to. My husband is still working with a bariatric specialist, and they have him eating no carbs or fruit at all. They have been modifying his diet as he progresses to ensure that he's getting enough nutrients, and they have him on a course of nutrition supplements to make up the difference (potassium, chromium, calcium, omega 3 oil) The only "fruit" he is permitted to have is one tomato per day, and a squeeze of lemon in his tea or on his salad. His list of vegetables includes only the low-starch kind, so no corn, peas, beans or carrots. He is allowed cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, onions, celery, mushrooms, all varieties of lettuce, and spinach. He's allowed 4 ounces of protein per meal, as follows: - 2 omega 3 eggs per day, or the equivalent in liquid eggs. Apparently they have lower cholesteral and fat than the regular eggs (which explains their much higher price tag, I suppose) - fish, seafood or chicken - lean beef, up to 2 servings per week, lean ground beef, one serving per week Portion sizes for veg are approximately the amount you can cup in your hands. It is a very restrictive diet. From the sounds of your program you're doing similar things, but I thought I'd provide the details of his program in case there's anything else in there that helps you. I hope that you keep making progress, and that your liver and pancreas get with the program. All the best, Trinity [/QUOTE]
