Topic: RE: Back to work!!!
Isn't it funny that we've been together so long that I remember what you go through at the beginning of every school year? I even remember the computer issues you had when they started a new system.
I find that if I on't plan what I'm going to eat and have it prepared, I'm likely to make poor decisions. Good for you for planning and preparing ahead.
Many hugs,
Connie

Topic: Ok Dokey Healthy Diet Time!
Ok friends and family!
Now that I've got the LBS under control...Now that the Thyroid is under control...Now that I'm feeling GREAT!
Now is the time to get back on a good diet schedule.
Due to the LBS I need to eat every 2 to 3 hours. It will always be a miniumn of every 3 hours. I'm getting closer to the 3 hours rather than the 2 so I'm trying hard to stick to that. Every 3 hours will give me less calories.
I'm eating good things too.
Fresh fruits.
Protein
Milk & other calcium products (another word for eating cheese hehe)\
and the hated Vegi's - can't be perfect never was never will be
Reading up on the good vegi's and fruits. Red seedless grapes are very good for us. they do something wonderful to the insides of our tummys plus process well LBS wise and they are low calories. Bananas I need to eat one a day cause of the potassium but I also need to not have the really really REALLY ripe ones cause they are extra sweet and trigger LBS watermelon whilelow in calories doens't work for me its too sweet. Dam its one of my favorites.
Vegis - i eat baby carrots (rarely tring to change that to daily even if its only 3 pieces its a start)
broccoli - its right up there on the list of things I don't care for but its good for me so I eat alittle bit of it every day. I hide it in my egg white omelet
Onions - did you know these are good for us? not like i'd sit and eat a whole one but i do add some chopped up inj my egg white omelet every day.
green beans - i eat these maybe 2 a week
i'm tring to add more vegis its very difficult for me with those.
eating fish 2 times a week minium.
then theres my chicken and turkey i like ground up turkey as a patti
no bread. i dont' miss it. i feel good.
feeling good tastes better than bread.
I am still having a hard time cutting out my wheat thins but i have got it down to one serving a day.
sooooooo todays meals are as follows;
b. egg white omelet with broc, onion, flax seed (VERY good for everybody) and slice of lo fat cheese
s. atkins bar - do you know my endocronolgist says that this is a good source for protein? low sugar and low alchol sugar? the ones i get have an additional 17 grms of protein
l. 3 oz tuna melted cheese 16 red seedless grapes
s. will be atkins bar
d. beans with ground turkey a mild chili beans are very good for us.
s. tonight will be apple with peanut butter.
i'vegot to go to fitday and add it all in
Last night i went to the movies to see the Time Travelers Wife. Very good movie! sad take tissues if you go.

Topic: RE: Blood Test Results
Reenie,
Low protein causes edema. I was told to up it to 90 grams a day so you might want to try that for the bloating. If you're taking any type of antacid, you might want to stop because it blocks protein absorption.
My anemia isn't caused by low iron, it's caused by some sort of internal bleed. I had a CT scan a week or so ago and it didn't show anything earth shattering. I get scoped on Tuesday and I have another MRI and Vestibular therapy coming up so we'll see what happens after that.
I hope you get the liver situation straightened out very soon.

Topic: RE: thyroid update
I think i would still go to DR A if only to keep the door open but I will be honest with him and my thoughts of the LBS and dietician. I liked the first one he he had eveyone since i've not cared for. i think she is fine for new people coming in who need to have information but them like us need to be our own advocates. i went to several doctors before i decided on Dr A I still am happy with my choice aat the time I think he is and still is the best.
Her name is Dr Fran Storch she is in windham 860-423-2759 i love her.

Topic: RE: thyroid update
Pam, when did you see Dr. A? My appointment with him is scheduled for September, but what you say here reaffirms what I've felt for quite a while - he just doesn't help; I drive an hour both ways to see him, sit in the waiting room for 45 minutes past my appointment time, and then get a quick 5 minutes with him, during which time he will ask me a few rudimentary questions, tell me I need to make an appointment with HIS nutritionist, and then says he'll see me in a year. My last two visits with him, he did not answer my questions in any meaningful way, told me I should expect to gain the weight back - not all of it but hey, if I end up between 200-250, that's still over 100 lbs. off and isn't that a good thing - I think I should not see him anymore and make an appointment with your homeopath! Didn't you tell me she's in Windham, or the Willimantic area? What's her name and number? Will you see Dr. A again? Thanks, my friend. Maureen (Mike, if you're reading this, please share your thoughts as well!)

Topic: thyroid update
Man I do not know what they put in the thryoid pills but they are awesome!
After only 3 weeks of being on them I feel fantastic.
After just one week I felt a difference. After two weeks I felt great but was afraid to say it even now I'm afraid to say how good I feel because I don't want this to go away.
thryoid problems are not fun.
No this is NOT cause by the surgery. It is even aggravated by the surgery. It can be heritary. My mother, sister, and daughter all are on medication for thryoid problems.
Some of the things that you get with thryoid you can also get with Low blood sugar so it has been less than fun for them to figure this all out.
I thank my homeopathic doctor 100% for helping me. she has been wonderful. I do not know what I would have done without her. My surgeon was not a help my dieticain he employs was useless. Even my regualr doctor was not helpful. I think she didn't want to get involved which was a major disapointment cause i've always had fantastic success with her. all I can think is that she must have had a bad day when I went to her or I did not make myself understood to the extent of what I was going through.
The anxiety, the depression, mood swings, fogginess, no memory, cranky no patiences, abosultly no energy, no interest in anything and i was not myself personality wise either. then you add in the sudden drop in sugar lord there is so much. if it was just one thing at a time it would just be oh well i dont' feel like myself but i was getting all of them and when i say anxiety it was horrible. i would get alittle nervous about something and could hardly breathe. shakes that i can not discribe. to say i was scared is putting it mildly.
i'd been doing good with the diet from the homepoathic and feeling better but i still had so many issues. no energy was a biggy.
now after just 3 weeks i've got my personality back.
its what inside of me that amazes me. I FEEL happy. Thats what I mean about my personality. Inside I'm not gloom and doom i'm back to me. I wake up at my normal time now too 5ish and jump out of bed again with a spring. i've not had that spring in a year. I'm not walking around with the phone in my hand in case i get sick! yes I was doing that!
i am so glad that i went to that doctor.
i am so glad that i didn't just listen to the others that i listend to me and said wait a minute this isn't right.
i am glad i was proactive and reactive and stuck up for myself.
i am glad i am feeling good again.
