Topic: RE: Article I recommend for diabetics to read!!! Encouraging info!
I am new to oh. I have my surgery scheduled for Monday, June 20th. The main reason I looked into having the surgery is because of my diabetes. I am on the pre op diet and am already having to lower the amount of insulin I take daily. My doctor and I are both hoping that this surgery will help greatly in reducing or eliminating the amounts of medicines I need for my diabetes.

Topic: Feeling nauseous after Vitamins
What's worth the PRIZE is ALWAYS worth the FIGHT! 
I take my vitamins every morning and every morning shortly after I take my vitamins I get really nauseous! 
I hate the feeling but I deal with it because I need my vitamins. I take it with a small amount of food but I am still nauseous. I have phenergan (sp) and I take that but it doesn't help. I am wondering if there is a "magic" food that will help with the sick feeling. It is a very bad feeling and I know I can't stop taking my vitamins (I wouldn't do that anyway). I just want to be a ease when I take my meds!

Topic: RE: Hey Everybody ~ I'm Tiffany
Hi Tiffany, welcome. I had the VSG last year and am in the teens as far as weight in kilos in concerned to my goal. Yet I still feel HUGE. Does that help you? Of course not. How each of us FEELS about their body is a very personal thing. What we must do is LOVE ourselves at any weight, if for no other reason, then because we are our one and only best friend.
All that being said I wish you best of luck in your weight loss efforts.

Topic: RE: Challenge...NOT for everyone!
Hello friends,
Short and sweet. Still awake. Still can't sleep. There are many reasons I overeat or eat things I know are bad for me. Tired, sad, lonely, angry. I went to Walgreen's to buy a new glucose monitor. My blood sugars were falling by the time I got back in my car. Stopped at McDonald's and bought a grilled chicken salad. The bad thing is I got a sweet drink too. Excuses. I did need to get my sugar up but just a few sips would have been enough. I drank it all. Honesty. Right? Here's to a better today, but I'm doing everything wrong. I've been up all night but have not used the time well. I haven't had a thing to drink since 8PM. My furbaby Little Bit of Sunshine has gone to heaven to be with my Mom and Dad. I'm so very sad, can't sleep, crying. I have not said it before because then I have to face it. I miss him so much. He was old and it was time. Just wish I could sleep and forget. Mag

Topic: RE: Still Hungry
Believe me, if you are anything like me or any of the people that post here, you are in no danger of stretching anything. With the VSG you have a smaller portion of your original stomach and if it was done right, it can't be stretched. Try eating a larger portion of solid meat and you will see!

Michele,
Real Hunger! Oh my, WHAT a bite!!!!!! (sorry I couldn't resist: pun intended.) I know I have some sick humor. Well, sweetie, I'm glad you and your doctor are on top of things. I remember the taste of my first egg. Heaven. You are doing great. Just try to relax but hold on. We are all on one beautiful and wild ride. Stole that line from my friend, Judy.
Hugs to you. Mag 9 pounds! that's great!
