This week I chat with Aaron. We have a lively discussion about why the prices we pay for gluten free food, doesn't matter so much to Aaron any more. Aaron and I both have no regrets about having our surgeries, but we do both wish we had done it years earlier. Surprisingly, our reasons for wanting the the surgery earlier are very different. Also, Aaron explains what bariatric patients mean when they say one-derland. Sue’s Websites and Social Media Podcast https://glutenfreeweighin.libsyn.com Inst...

This week I chat with Tamie and Carla. Tamie and I share our thoughts on our scales, sometimes annoying, sometimes mysterious and sometimes a statement of victory, but why do we sometimes rely on it, even become obsessive, and other times we find it easy to ignore. Tamie has recently decided to let her measurements tell her how she's doing with her eating plan, instead of her scale. Carla and I revisit our challenge to not eat after 9:30 pm. Carla got a late start on the challenge and my efforts...

I have been asked to pose this question to Aaron, and I've been holding off as he was having specific challenges with the post-surgery bariatric diet. This week, he wanted to reflect back on the how each of these major changes in the way he eats has impacted him. Also, do you have clothes that are 25 years old? Can you still wear them? Do you want to? Aaron has a great story and we're going to expand on the theme of going through your closet when we chat next.

This week I speak with Aaron who has recently recovered from a nasty stomach flu. It did give him time to reflect on changes that have been happening in his overall attitude. Aaron feels he looks at life and food completely differently since his surgery and weight loss. He's much less judgemental, and doesn't want food and his appetite to define him. Often after bariatric surgery people feel different in their new bodies and it's great that Aaron is able to share his thoughts as he continues his...

He shares it with us - only 4 ingredients, equal parts of each - salt, paprika, lemon pepper and Mrs. Dash. This one I'll have to try. Sue’s Websites and Social Media Podcast https://glute...
