I haven't been on this site in some time. I did well with losing weight in 2017, and keeping it off for the most part (maintaining 150-155). I followed a low carb (less than 50 g of carbs per day) and low calorie (less than 1200) diet. When I got closer to my goal I started introducing some food back into my diet. A while later I started to feel bad, heartburn and sluggish. Went through some tests (ultrasound of stomach, gall bladder) I do have a hiatal hernia. I also have food allergies which are causing problems. I am allergic to wheat and a lesser extent milk, eggs and corn. This is a problem for me because I relied on eggs and cheese when I lost weight. Now I have to learn to eat differently. I have found things at the local grocery that I can substitute for what I liked (gluten free, soy products, almond products etc.) I am mad (mad in general, not at anyone...more myself that my body has done that at this point) that I have to do this and figure out a whole new way of eating. Before I focused on the things that I could eat that were low carb. Now I can no longer enjoy some of those things. I want to go back on some kind of program that I can stick to and get down to that 130 goal. Not sure that low carb will work now. Once again I need to focus on the things I can eat, but it's different than before.
