Question Carbs Carbs Carbs...

should whole grains make a difference? I mean, i am VERY sensative to carbs. so i switched from white stuff to whole wheat stuff...but this morning i had 4 whole wheat crackers with some cheese. and i felt myself drifting off to la la land shortly thereafter. is it what i eat or what i am eating it with? was it not enough protein to balance it out? when i feel myself drifting what do i do? do i take in some more protein? or just lay back until its over? LOL!

should i just avoid carbs altogether? something with the whole nutrition thing is still not clicking for me. i thought i would have had all of this figured out by now...

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

oh 15g serving = 5 crackers. it says 5 on the box this is the label from online...

maybe 11g of carbs is too high? but i thought if they were whole grains it was ok. very confusing.

Even with whole grain, when it's broken down, the final form is glucose among other things, and glucose is the culprit that causese hypoglycemia.
Whole grain is good in that it has fiber and other things along with the main carb, so it takes more time to break down, plus prevents the carb from being absorbed 100%, in other words, not all of the carb is absorbed. However, if you eat it in the amount that what is absorbed of the total carb is the same as with processed food with refined sugar, you are going to get sleepy.
In other words, if processed food with 4g refind sugar does you bad, the amount of carb that equals that even if the origin is whole grain, it is likely to give you the sleepies. So you need to be careful of your total intake, even with whole grain.

And, yes, nuts work that way, they first ask you how much of what you have been eating to calculate where you have got it right, and what needs to be corrected.
There isn't really any strict dietary requirement with WLS as there is with other diets, with the exception of taking all your supplements and nutrients, keeping up with protein and fluids. Other than that, eating in good balance and portion control, reasonable portions, no exact what in how much amounts, is what this surgery is, food wise.

Kenya I Think You Would Be Safer With The Triscuits Than The Ritz. Eat The Triscuits And Let Me Know If You Feel A Difference. Ritz Has More Flour In It

edie, i eat triscuits too. (I'm the one that told you to try them remember? ) i dont get sleepy off them at all. so i think theres an issue. whole grain vs whole wheat. tricuits are whole grain which is great but they are beginning to taste like tree bark lol.

ritz are whole wheat. no clue what the difference is technically speaking but i know i am fine with one and not the other. oh well. i guess im just not going to enjoy food anymore....what a bummer! lol!
