On the Road Again
Apr 28, 2011
I have been away for a while....Away from taking care of me.
I lost faith in losing weight and ever doing it good. I thought I was eating ok, haha
Late in Feb I was put on insulin. I knew I was diabetic, but was not on insulin.
I started out on just Lantus, then was put on NovaLog as well as the insulin.
Next step was adding the BYETTA. When the byetta was added, I was taken off the novalog to get adjusted to the byetta.
I have not needed to go back on the Novalog as of yet.
At this point I am on metformin(since 2006), BYETTA, Lantus, and 1 blood pressure pill.
I have lost 30 lbs since the last part of Feb. and still going.
It is a struggle to find foods that I like, I can have and that dont cause me to get stuck.
My band is still restricting meats, but I have no plans to deal with the band at this point.
I looked at different revision surgeries. But honestly, I have no desire to have surgery.
I am trying to do this with out having to have another surgery, unless some where down the road I have band removed.
The Lapband DID help me and yes still does.
Would I recommend it?? yes for some people it is great.
I have alot of problems eating meats. but like having the band. it is like having a safety net.
I have not achieved the weightloss I was looking for with it, but I am to blame, not the band.
After I was taken off my thyroid meds, I hit a brick wall in weightloss. And then I gave up.
Now, I am seeing I CAN DO THIS. Not as fast as others, but I am me.
I will take every lb lost and celebrate it and hope to never see that number again.
I am learning a new way of eating all over again. I have a great dietician at my side helping me.
Best wishes to all.
