My endo prescribed all of them for me. The last one was qysemia(sp). We even tried it twice. Medication was not working for me because I think I expected it to do all the work for me. Since I am prediabetic, have heart disease in my family, high Trig, sleep apnea my doctor said that the only thing that will work now is surgery. I refused at first until I went to a seminar put on by Dr Jos. Cheblis. The pros far outweighed the cons. I am having a vsg on the 27th and am on a 4 week diet of 30 grams of protein or less per day to shrink my fatty liver. I am doing well with my control and look forward to the operation. I can do it now that I realize I need to do my part.
doing it for weight loss, high blood pressure. One girl I know had it put in on Friday and she has been vomiting since then. :(
She didn't even need to lose weight and I am really surprised they did the procedure for her but she paid cash and had high blood pressure. Not overweight at all in my opinion but if you go by the BMI charts, it sounds like even skinny people are over weight. RIDICULOUS!
I had the lap band in 08 and it slipped in 10 and I gained my 70 pounds back within the year. That is what makes me wonder about this procedure because they put it in for 6 months and take it out so I would think you would gain it all back pretty quickly. They say you learn how to eat during those 6 months but that didn't happen to me with lap band and I had it two years.

when did they get it? and do you know why they r doing?
several people around here in South GA have had it. I'm thinking about it (after I hear how they do with it).
I try to stay away from breads and bad carbs when eating out and I found a carbohydrate blocker that I absolutely love!! I never found one that works this well and ive lost 20 lbs the first 2 weeks. There are so many hidden sugars in all food these days.
The only way Atkins works is when you get tired of eating all that protein and then eat so little calories that you lose weight. Nothing works except eating less calories than you burn.
I read all of Dr Atkins books and that is what he preached. He also said that there was a 10 percent advantage in staying low carb.
So that means if you lose 10 pounds in a month on a diet with high carbs you will lose eleven pounds if your carbs are low.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
"Low Carb" is pretty vague. A lot of people fail on Atkins because they end up eating too much protein. I would suggest you look into "Keto Clarity" by Jimmy Moore and Dr. Eric Westman. I can't lose weight on the number of carbs and proteins allowed on Atkins either. The Keto diet works very well for me - and it's very diabetes friendly. I've also had to figure out that if I eat too much cheese - I just won't lose weight. You might also have some food intolerances inhibiting your progress. Just some more things to puzzle out!
Hello!
For going out to eat my go to is a bunless burger and a side of veggies. For breakfast - eggs and bacon or sausage
For unexpected guests... I'm not entirely sure. I never have that happen. I suppose if it were me I'd suggest we go out if I didn't have enough of what I planned for dinner to go around. In which case - I revert back to my burger choice. There are often other things at other restaurants I can do.. I like fish and other proteins too but worst case as far as "health" of restaurant choices you can usually get a burger.
Bad day eating.... I wish I had more of an insight for. I come home from a stressful day and want to inhale food. Maybe sit down and sip some tea and do some deep breathing first?
Overall - what makes or breaks my success most often is failure to plan. I did very well when I was diligent about making dinner every night. Then I got tired. I don't want to make dinner every night. I'm tired sometimes you know? So it helps to have a couple 'easy options' for a night or two. We have scrambled eggs at least one night a week (cheap and very quick)... I also employ the cook once and eat a couple times plan. When I cook I don't make enough for just one meal - I prep enough for two and am ready to microwave leftovers. I like making soups/stews - big pieces of meat etc on Sunday afternoons for that reason. Or stock the freezer with some ready made crock pot meals.
