Topic: RE: Nutritionist Appt This AM
Good to hear that the victoza is working for you. I take it too, side effect of nausea helps some of us to eat less too, then I really didn't notice any nausea. I was in a holding pattern of not losing for several months and my MD suggested trying the victoza. It is spendy, thank goodness for insurance. I have started losing again, slowly, but losing and that is what counts.
I am a 21 months out from RNY. Loving that my tool works, yayyyyy wls.

Topic: RE: Challenge...NOT for everyone!
Dear Patrece,
I've been praying for you as well as others on our challenge. I worry about you and your pain. When is your appointment? You don't have to wait until July do you? As you are an LPN I know you know this , but let me remind you. Ulcers are nothing to play around with. They can easily become life-threatening. None of us want to see you go through a bad recuperation time. Please please take care of yourself. I know you have talked about life being difficult for you and I am so sorry for that. We are here for you. We want you well. Much love and concern, Mag

Topic: Nutritionist Appt This AM
I went to the nutritionist this morning. The last time I went (June 2, 2011) she added Victoza to my medicine regime. It made me really sick 
the first few days I took it, then again for a few days when the dose increased. It makes me feel full really quick all the time, and it takes away my appetite. For example I was still full from last night's dinner (5:00 pm) at 9:30 pm when my husband wanted a snack. I went along with it, but took at least half of what I would normally. Bad choice. 
It made feel so yucky. Vctoza actually slows the process of your stomach emptying and I've discovered that when I eat to much or too quick it makes me really sick to my stomach. I guess this is a good preparation for the bypass. My fasting blood sugars are still too high, but this morning when I weighed in at my NUT appt, I lost 9 pounds! 
347 is the lowest I've been since I started seeing the nutritionist almost a year ago. I'm psyched! I haven't been below 350 since before I met my husband. My NUT, Dr. Solomon, added omeprezol (or however you speel that) to my regimine. I feel like an old person - taking 4 different meds now. 
Janumet, Lisinopril, Victoza and now Omeprazol! Yikes! I'm also taking advantage of OH's nifty food log so I don't have to write it in a notebook anymore. I'll be able to give Dr. Solomon much better logs by printing these off. Thanks OH for making a grueling task easier! I HATE logging my food! Now if only there was a place to keep track of blood sugars on here. I HATE doing that too. I think what really keeps me going is that they're going to need to see that I am compliant if they're going to approve me for surgery, and I have to have all these heatlh issues under control best I can. So anyways - score points for me and Victoza today!!!

That's a good idea Kathy - about switching to the smaller plates. Think I need to do some revamping in me kitchen. Good job on keeping up the exercise Tim! It's hard to balance all that we need to do. It's great that you are keeping on track with that part.
