Topic: Lost another 4 pounds last week!
Isn't it amazing how the weight just seems to fall off?  I went back to work last week, half-days, and made sure I followed all the rules.  Weighed this morning and another 4 pounds gone.  I have 6 more pounds and I'll be under 200!  Perhaps I'll hit that mark around the end of October!  What a nice way to end October.  If I continue at this rate (I know the plateau is coming, though), I will be at goal by the end of the year.  Or at least by the first ot 2010.  What a nice way to start the new year.  Even with all the bumps in the road I have and I still have times where things just don't stay down, I feel healthy.  I'm off of all meds except the stomach pill and the thyroid, which they cut in half.  I still get tired at times, but am working on getting my strength back.

This has been a real blessing for me.

Wow I hope it went ok.
It's a liquid right. That was our big joke during the liquid stage of the diet. I had a bottle of ranch dressing and pulled it out of the firdge and said to my husband this is a liquid right. He siad know I don't think that qualifies.

Were you tipsy faster due to loss of body mass because I can see that happening.

Topic: RE: Can you guys please help me out!?
that is an excellent point. I will speak with my teacher about that. I have already began the research and lit reviews for the first idea, so she may tell me it's too, late to change it considering I am half way through the semester. But that is a very valid point! Thanks for the suggestion!

If you are looking for something exciting, I will tell you of my episodes with tequila and vodka last weekend if you ask. I am 6 weeks out and did it with doctors permission.
Don't blame me. I voted for Sarah......

Topic: RE: Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital
You were going in when I was coming out. I was in TCU. Like I said, they were short staffed, it was the weekend, and I know that at least one of the nurses I had was from a staffing agency. I did complain to Cathi when she came to visit, and she told me that she would take care of it, and she did. The lady left me in the bathroom for an hour!

I'm not sure where they are putting patients now, but I understand you want to be put in ICU, as they are great!!!

Maybe you should change the spectrum from 0-3 years out to 3-6 years out. That will give you a better understanding of quality of life after surgery. It will also give you a more realistic idea of what you yourself can expect, and things to watch for.

Topic: RE: hypoglycemia worries me

Hypoglycemia is a b*tch. Yes, I dealt with it. I'm not sure that it's related to diabetes, but it is directly related to your diet. If you eat carb heavy, most likely you will be dealing with the drop later. My doc told me that I needed to eat a more protein forward, less carby diet to control it. I have to say, when I followed that, my problems went away. When I didn't listen, I dealt with the consequences. Unfortunately, when your sugar drops, you need to eat something to get it back up. This can lead to a slippery slope of weight gain.

You need to journal everything you put in your mouth, and also when an episode hits. See if you see any trends. I'd almost guarantee they are carb related. Take that journal to your doc and see what they have to say.

Hope this helps.

Ha! I have enjoyed reading the discussion between you guys. I cut it off at 3 years because my professor told me I had to be more specific and not so broad. And true I am not even a year out so I am still on an unbelievable high, but good points that you guys made. I will be sure to share that with my professor in class tonight! Thanks again!

Topic: hypoglycemia worries me

after having looked at the post procedure diet, i'm really concerned...  this has been a MAJOR problem with my weight loss, and it appears to be escalating recently... i don't know if i'm moving nearer to diabetes or not...  haven't been to a dr. to discuss that...

seems i'm cursed if i don't eat, and have the episodes, and cursed if i do, i still have the spikes...  it used to be that it was when i ate too many carbs, but now it just seems anything causes it...

and while i'm not afraid of the diet... this has me worried, big time...  those sugar blues really get me down... i see double, its like i'm a drunk... i've passed out...

have any of you dealt with this monster after the procedure?
