lifelong vegetarian. stopped drinking soda two years ago because of kidney stones (was in the ER this morning because i've managed to grow three new ones - yay), so i drink only water or sugar free juice. had weight loss surgery in july and have given up bread, pasta, and rice. no more sugary things including desserts and drinks. trying to consume lots of protein, fruits and veggies, plus some nuts here and there.
diet has changed severely for me and sometimes figuring out what i can eat is a bit tricky. the good news is that my food volume has decreased by over 75% and as of last friday, i've lost 104 lbs.
