Guest guest Posted April 7, 2002 Report Share Posted April 7, 2002 YES!!! Oh , please tell me he's nuts, lol!! I puree a very, very tiny amount of home made chicken soup and ate it tonight. Maybe ate 1/2 ounce. Chicken, small amount of noodles, couple small pieces of carrots and a couple small pieces of potatoes without skin. It was wonderful. Any input thrilled to have! in California Open RNY Surgery - 03/29/02 Re: Hello Protein only? Thanks, http://www.vitalady.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2002 Report Share Posted April 7, 2002 Well, I took the puree stage out of the program for my doc. I think it is detrimental to us. I'd rather see 'em do their clear period and step right up to soft foods, like cottage cheese, baked potato meat, something that will fill & satisfy, yet be a very small volume. To me, puree is like runny grazing. Where he wants 'em on 1 oz of food, if they puree, they can easily get 8 oz in & never feel it. Soooo, I think it leads to too much food volume, too much " grazing " , so setting up habits, AND no feeling of satisfaction. Soooooooo, they do clear & protein drinks for 4 weeks, then start onto soft slowly. They can puree for a day or so, but then start on food, feel comfortably full, comfortably empty and establish normal " food feeling " cycles that many of us never had.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2002 Report Share Posted April 20, 2002 I agree with you. By being on the list, I have become more focused. For some reason it has given me the motivation that was lost. Heck, I have even checked my levels twice today. 113 this morning before eating and two hours after lunch 103. The walking I am doing to is a help. Thanks for the tip on the juice bars. I will look for them the next time I am at the store. The snacking is what is getting me. The famous excuse, " this little bit won't hurt " <lol> Sure!

Stressors! Where shall I begin! I was living with a person that is living with MS. We separated last July. That was my choice. The chaos and stress of living with her just got to me. The separation hasn't been pretty either. None of them are. This week though has been hassle free. I am keeping my fingers crossed that the storm has subsided and this isn't the eye of the hurricane. I have been trying to do yoga and some meditation with it, but the mind just can't get focused long enough. I haven't given up. Keep trying.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2002 Report Share Posted April 21, 2002 Hey, Chet; Pour it all out; we've all got stressors, and they're one of the " biggies " that raise the Bg levels. It's great your working on the yoga and meditation to help. If you've got a favorite and want to share it with the list; by all means go ahead! > Stressors!

Any one got any suggestions? > > Hi Kathy, Welcome to the group. Glad you found us. You will get encouragement and support from everyone. You can get back on track. When I decided I wanted off meds, I changed the way I was eating (went with lower food portions) and started exercising more. Now that I've lost 54 lbs, I don't want to gain a lb back. I did gain 5 lbs over the winter, but was down to 114 yesterday so I've lost the 5 that I had gained. I love the new me, the way I feel, the way I look and I love all the compliments I'm still getting. Keeping your weight off will help you stay off meds longer. It is hard to lose weight and we all have denial periods, but life is worth living. Don't be embarrassed and don't be so hard on yourself. Today is the first day of the rest of your life.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2002 Report Share Posted April 26, 2002 Hi, I am new to the group. I was diagnosed with type II diabetes last February. I have been able to keep it in control, so far with diet and exercise. Problem is for the last 8 weeks or so I have been in denial, about it and binging. My weight is up, and I am feeling pretty ashamed. Any one got any suggestions? Thanks in advance, Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2002 Report Share Posted May 5, 2002 Madge, I had fried potatoes, real jello, orange juice, everything a diabetic shouldn't have. They just don't have the manpower to do two different kind of diets. Thanks for writing, Lou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
