Cutting back on carbs is a very good first step!\n\nHowever, keep in mind that you can still be over on calories so make sure to pick lower fat meats & poultry.  Cut back on salad dressing & sauces.  Skip anything sweet, sugar is carbs.\n\nSeveral Kimkins Diet members are from the UK and Netherlands.  They're always posting tips on good food buys for your local stores.\n\nGood job taking the first step toward weight loss!  Find a good support group to help motivate you.

Change your eating habits and your diet. Cut out all the junk foods, sodas and unhealthy snacks if you eat them. If you have a snack, make it a piece of fruit or yogurt, or jello. Make sure you have something for breakfast always, you could have  a salad with a piece of fruit or yogurt for lunch and then have dinner. Drink lots of water. Trim most of the fat off meats and remove the skin from poultry. Take your time when you eat so that your brain has time to signal when you are full. I'm not joking. If you eat in a hurry you are overeating and by the time you feel full you have actually eaten too much. If you don't walk a lot, go for a one half hour walk 3 times a week. In addition to walking, you can also exercise at home for 20 mins. several times a week, do this on the days you are not walking. The exercise does not have to be strenuous exercises (such as lifting weights), just firming and toning ones. Once you lose the weight you want to, don't go back to your old eating habits. Once you lose the weight you want to, you can modify your walking or exercise but don't give it up completely. If you go back to your old routine and diet because you think you have solved the problem, your weight will most likely return.

Poor baby!! I'm afraid you're going to have to go bland for a while, until your system gets accustomed to the gall bladder being gone. The good news is that the rumbling & running will get better about a month or so after surgery. As far as grains go, they can cause excess gas so maybe cut back on those. Also, certain types of veggies, broccoli or cauliflower can cause upset. When you do yogurt, be sure you get the kind with active, live cultures in it. You might try toast & boiled eggs for breakfast, or even scrambled eggs as long as nothing greasy was used to cook them. Oddly enough, I can eat Mexican any time I want & not get sick, so it's going to be a trial & error thing for you for a bit after you heal. Apple sauce, jello, pudding, soups - nothing fatty or greasy. Sorta stick to the BRAT diet - bananas, rice, apple sauce & toast - it helps. Plus the yogurt!! I think you're on the right track, but it really does take 4 to 6 weeks for the rumbling to calm down. If it doesn't, a gastroenterologist can prescribe a medication you can use with your meals to help your system adjust. It's a powder you sprinkle on your food. Good luck & hang in there - it does get better!!

Drink lots of water and cut back on sugary or salty foods. Also, take a brisk 30 minute walk at least 4-5 times a week.

Brown rice is great for you. 1/2 cup. But white rice is full of starch/sugars. Here's a great sample menu that I used after my baby was born. I ate like a crazy person and at the end of my pregnancy weighed 203 lbs. I am 5'6". Now, I weigh 130 and of course I look great! and feel great!\nBreakfast:\n3/4 cup oatmeal\n1/2 grapefruit with 1 packet of Splenda to taste.\nwater\n\nSnack:\n1 slice whole wheat toast w/ 1tbsp peanut butter\n\nLunch:\nTuna and Lettuce wrap, you can season with 1 tbsp. vinagrette dressing.\napple\nsteamed broccoli florets (you can season them w/ Ms. Dash).\n\nDinner\nBoneless skinless chicken breast (seasoned with lemon juice from a real lemon, not a bottle).\n1/2 cup brown rice\nsteamed cauliflower\n\nsnack before 8p.m.!!!\n1 cup plain vanilla yogurt\n\nNO FOOD AFTER 8P.M.!!!!!  \n\nI used this diet from July to January and dropped from 200lbs to 130!

Instead of white rice, you should be eating brown rice.  It's better for you and keeps you satisfied longer.

This will depend on several things but it sounds like you have been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes which can often be controlled by diet.\n\nThere are a few key guidelines:\n\nAvoid foods with processed sugar.\n\nHave a piece of fruit 3 times per day.  That actually did me in for sweets, after 3 months of that much fruit I got really tired of anything that tasted sweet!\n\nEat 5 small meals per day instead of 2 or 3 larger ones.  Don't skip breakfast.  Have a slightly early lunch.  Your 3rd meal would be a small mid afternoon snack (like an apple with a 2 or 3 ritz crackers).  Dinner can be very normal but eat small portions.  Plan ahead that your 5th meal is still coming so leave some room and don't eat all the way to feeling full.  The 5th meal should also be a light snack with fruit and a bread (like the afternoon meal) but should include some protein about an hour or so before you go to bed.  The protein is slower to digest and get its sugar into your system so it helps your blood sugar from getting too low during the night.  A little cheese or some milk is good.  Or just something left over in the fridge from dinner.\n\nThe temptation is to replace sugars with fats for flavor.  Try not to fall into that trap.  Fish is good if you like it.  Tuna salad with tomato paste instead of mayo is a sandwich I like for lunch.\n\nThere are some "free" foods.  These are basically things you can eat anytime during the day and they won't impact your blood sugar much.  Carrots (I hate those), pickles (get some without sugar if you can, I found kosher pickles usually have no sugar).\n\nIncrease the amount of vegetables you eat throughout the day.  They have fewer calories and the bulk can help you feel fuller.\n\nThere are some things I've learned to avoid.  Watermelon sky rockets my blood sugar, the sauce on take out pizza, rice.\n\nI fear I'm rambling now, but it's a great time to be diabetic (comparatively) because of so many choices in artificial sweetener (I think Splenda is best, except when they put it in special splenda diet drinks).  \n\nI hope that helps.  It's been 20 years since I started and then they discovered I was actually a slow starting Type 1 diabetic.  While I was on the good diet, I felt better than I ever had before.\n\nGood luck.\n\nI'm happy to answer other questions from my experience if you drop me a line.

OUCH!! Hopefully we only do that twice a year- I cooked way too much- and ate too much- tums may help - or even manzanitas tea-and don't lay down until your food is better digested-D

You can start drinking lots of water, lay off the soda, no candy or ice cream.  Try to lay off of the bread products too.  Eat more salads w/o dressing and excercise a lot.

It is not wheat and dairy that you have to careful of. You should avoid or cut down on the consumption of spicy food, fried food, chocolates and coffee for a while. I tried it and they disappeared. Try it!!

I read the other day that white bread is one of the worst things to eat. The article said it adds to you wieght. That if you are going to eat bread eat wheat.
