My Rant: Then vs. Now



Recommended Posts

the last time someone said that i am losing weight the "easy way"....well ya know what, i lifted my shirt and showed my surgery incisions and of course still had all the bruising and said, "yea, this is the easy way my ass!"....surgery is a last resort, definitely NOT the easy way. the easy way is often the first, second, and even 5th attempt at losing weight....and for those who can do it the "easy way" and keep it off.

unfortunately, i've TRIED the easy way a thousand times....then, now, i'm doing it the hard way. surgery is NEVER the easy way.

i think i got my point across.

GREAT GREAT GREAT POST BTW!!!!

xoxo, christie

My endocrinologist was VERY pleased with my sugar numbers! He couldn't believe that I'm at a 14 day average of 103. He told me that I could come off my medication completely, if I so choose. However, with that I will certainly see an increase in my numbers - though he didn't expect anything drastic. He'd rather me a little bit high, than continue to see me have the extreme lows that I've been having.

I told him that since my third fill 4 weeks ago; my food intake is minimal. TA DA!

The other option is to go onto a different medication all together; that will help me avoid the extreme lows. I don't really want to go 'off' of anything right now or make drastic changes, especially before I go away on vacation again (out of the country...you just never know!). I also should be certain to continue my 'snacking' before bedtime; but for me, that is sometimes a little difficult.

So I am PROOF that weight loss can improve blood sugars. One year next month I was diagnosed with an blood sugars averaging around 300. Amazing. :faint:

I had tears of fear 1 year ago.

Today, I am crying for joy. :biggrin1:

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
