new on list

[Guest guest]

Hi, My name is Rosemary and I am new on the list. I am 44 years old

and am

disabled because of many health problems. I started the diet one week ago

and I am doing fine so far but I do not know how much I have lost because I

do not have a good quality scale. I have about 90 pounds to lose and my

husband is also on the same diet with the same amount to lose. I try to walk

about 45 min 4-5 times a week but even that causes me pain but I know that I

have to do it. I was diagnosed with diabeties 3 months ago after spending

time in a psych ward at least every mo. Yes I have PTSD that was not caused

by diet but the diabeties sent me right over the edge. They did not check

for a physicle cause but instead put me on tons of psych meds which just made

me worse and I could not tolerat (I am one of those alians that reacts to

most all meds). The only thing I am taking now is glucophage and a hormone

patch (for hysterectomy). I almost died because of " modern medicene " but I

try not to get on that soapbox. I know that I have to eat this way for the

rest of my life so I must develope lots of disapline. I look forward to

talking to you all. Oh check out the book below, because I love it.

Rosemary,

Welcome to the list!! I am diabetic too and was on Glucophage before I was

Pregnant, during which time I was on insulin. after that I decided to go on

this WOL, I was having normal sugars readings until about May of this year.

they started going up again and I didn't want to go on any more meds so I

decided to go on Atkins, I did reasearch and printed everything and took it

to my Dr, he told me to try it and since then has put several other patience

on it. He is more open minded than most!! Any way I am on no meds and doing

great!!! I feel sooooo good!! Just wanted to share that with you! I bet you

get off the Diabetic meds really soon!!

Hugs

Thanks Robin! I actually go to see my surgeon on Tuesday, so I will be checking

with him to find out what I should/ not be taking. So the folate in the

prenatals is not enough? Oh, I am so confused. Hopefully he can clear things

up for me. I can't see my OB until March 12. Thanks for the advice and wishes!

Hey ! I was able to get through yesterday. They can't see me until

March 12. Such a long time!!
