My Happy Thanksgiving Breakfast (F U RH)

I must start by saying that I am still trying to get my weight back up to 115 after having such a rotten time with RH.

My kids had plans to go to their dads house for dinner, so I decided to cook them breakfast (including one of their boyfriends). I made pancakes for them with sugar free syrup for me and real maple syrup for them. I had 2 regular pancakes with butter and the sf syrup after taking one of the pills the doc prescribed that slows the digestion of carbs. OMG!! It tasted like a little piece of heaven  and I didn't have a blood sugar problem either!

I have not had pancakes for well over 4 years and probably won't again for a long time. It was so yummy, but then I spent the rest of the day's meals eating protein forward. Ahhhh......

Good for you!!!

Hi :)

While I don't suffer from RH myself, several of my RNY friends do.  Would you be able to tell me the name of the prescription you are taking?

Many thanks in advance!

The prescription is for Acarbose 50mg. I had to start at 25mg and then after 2 weeks moved up to 50mg. Initially it made me quite gassy, but that didn't last too long. I have to say that it has changed my life from when I could pretty much only eat protein to now I can eat quite normally (RNY normal that is ). I ended up having to go to Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston to see a doctor that has researched RH in the post RNY patients. 

Thank you SO much for the information, very much appreciated!  I'm glad to hear it's working so well for you!

I have some printed info that I can email to you if you pm me your email address.

That would be FABULOUS, thank you so much.
