Weight & Obesity 1 year, 1 month agoAnyone had the RNY? I did 2 years ago and lost 113 pounds, have maintained but blood sugar levels have remained high! So tired of taking insulin!
-
I have not had the surgery… but considering it… it is good you lost the weight. Did anyone tell you why you still have to take insulin… I was told when most have the gastric bypass they are no longer diabetic. Wishing you well!!

Recipes 1 year, 1 month agoAnyone got any SNACk recipies for the ADVANCED PLAN? I would love to see them! PLEASE
-
I tried Kale Chips a few weeks ago and everyone (well, almost) loved them, including my 4 year old grandson. Just ’google’ it!
-
I LOVE them too! Thanks!
-
I agree they were yummy. No one else in my house liked them, they all said they had a nasty after taste. Donna

Weight & Obesity 1 year, 1 month agoGetting everything ready for my start date on Monday, 4-1-12! I am so excited and ready! Anyone else starting on April Fool’s Day?
-
Congrats Amy Jo!! The community is slow to start and nothing like Facebook. But we’re here to support you in words of encouragement!!
-
Hi Amy Jo I’m starting the advanced plan on Monday 4-2, we can cheer each other on!
-
Thank you for your support! I am ready!

Hi folks,
I am invited to a lunch today – all fish but still not ideal to start a diet! I start tomorrow.
Good Luck! -
I have already tried to start but I decided I will call what I have done my getting ready week so I will start today with you if you like. Starting on April 1 appeals to me because this is NO JOKE!!! It seems straight forward but I am confused by the supplements I ordered.
-
Yes! Started yesterday, April 1, after being inspired by Dr. Hyman’s PBS program. I decided to just plunge right in, following his basic, general instructions for this first week (rather than wait, which might mean I’d lose the momentum and never start, lol). Over the next few days, I’ll move through the website and his book and fine-tune…[Read more]

Diabesity / Diabetes 1 year, 2 months agoThis week is my “Get Prepared week” ! Going to Primary Care physician in the am for all the bloodwork and to discuss the lifestyle change of “BloodSugar Solutions”! He is a vegatarian himself, so I know he will be very supportive of me and it! I have purchased all the vitamins I need, purged the pantry and fridge! Got my journal and ready to…[Read more]

Good luck! Nice to have a physician that will support you. Even though i’m over 30lbs overweight, my primary doctor told me it was just cosmetic. (my BMI places me right on the edge of obese). I’m now seeing a Naturalpath who is very concerned and very helpful. I look forward to following your success! Meg

Thank you, Meg! Sorry it has taken me so long to get back with you! Trying to figure this site out! I had the gastric by pass 2 year s ago and lost 113 pound! I have maintained my weight loss and had a tummy flap removed, Lipo and a breast lift! I am also a diabetic and the by-pass did not change or get rid of my diabetes! So hoping that this…[Read more]

Thank you! Sorry it has taken me so long to responded to you! I am trying to get all of this together and learning this site! I am a very blessed and lucky woman! My labs are back and looking good! I start on Monday , April Fools Day of all days! LOL!

Way to go Amy! What did you get for a journal? Specific? Or just a book to journal in?
-

In the book, canned and packaged foods are discouraged. V-8 is definitely that. There is also a ton of sodium in V-8, not a particularly good thing for diabetics who often struggle with high blood pressure. Personally, I would avoid it.
I would avoid it, too. In my local grocery store, they have tomatoes and tomato puree in boxes and they are delicious, much better than tomatoes in cans. If you can find them, you might be able to use the puree to create something similar to V-8. The brand in Pomi. Many grocery stores will order new things if you ask them.
Or, you could get a…[Read more]
