I am 210 lbs. again this morning. For whatever reason planning my meals everyday helps me keep it under control a little better than just eating without a plan. I need to get bot. Tri
My meal plan today:
B: 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
S: salad
L: chicken breast, reduced fat cheese and Santa Fe tortilla
S: veggie soup and a grapefruit
D: chicken breast, reduced fat cheese and Santa Fe tortilla
S: protein powder and Slimfast Crisps
Looks like BOTT is dead... have you consider joining daily post on RNY forum about eating?

I went to the gym 6 days this week. I upped my biking to 2 miles a day and my swimming to 150 yds a day the second half of the week. That is 1/6th a sprint triathlon. That makes 9 miles on the bike and 750 yds. in the pool. I can feel my muscles building up again. I've been trying to cut back carbs but it is difficult to eat no fruit, starches and dairy. I have enough problem without desserts and snacks. I keep trying. Tri

Good afternoon botts
I have increased my workout the past few days to 100 yd. swim and 1 mile bike as well as cleaning and shopping. I have decreased my Lantus insulin to 15 units and I think that is as low as I should go. My fasting blood sugars are in the 110s and I have had over 150 BSs a couple of times before meals and supplemented with 2 units of regular insulin. Because I eat 6 meals a day I sometimes I only have 2 hours between meals. I find this all very confusing, but I am doing the best I can. I have been on antibiotics (IV or oral) for almost 8 weeks. I take probiotics but it is hard on the gut. I have 1/2 bottle of antibiotics left. I am up a couple of pounds since this all began. Mostly because I am not moving enough and partly because of the extra food I eat when my BSs are low. I hope everything is well with all of you. Tri

Have you look at this guy? When I had an issue with severe RH - I used his methods to control my BS- not allowing it to get high enough for my body to overreact with insulin... I had to learn to eat food that woudl either not affect my BS or affect it very slowly. The advice I got from my nut- was to eat carbs and to eat every 2 hours.. making sure I wake up in a middle of teh night to eat- so I don't crash in my sleep.. ugh.. That made me gain weight and did not stop my low BS episodes... someone suggested dr Bernstein's book and within a week my BS was stable and i slowly started losing the regain do to carbs I had to eat to prevent the crashes...

Good evening botts
I am moving a little more every day. Today I went to the gym and rode 1 mile on the bike. Then I swam 100 yds. We went out for lunch and I had a Greek salad with vinegar and oil on the side. I brought home the pita triangles. I shopped at Sam's club for 2 hours. My foot feels really great in my new Sketchers. Last night in decreased my Lantus insulin to 16 units and I still woke up shaking in the middle of the night with my BS in the 80s. I ate buttermilk, an egg and some strawberries. I guess tonight I will try 15 units. I have regular insulin to take if my BS goes above 150 before a meal, but I haven't needed that in weeks. I am still eating to use up the insulin I am taking. I am trying to use insulin to absorb the food I eat. Extra insulin makes me more hungry so I will keep working on it until I figure it out or I can get into a diabetic educator. She will probably tell me to do what I am doing. Cutting back faster could make my BS go too high. Tomorrow starts a new month. There are only 5 months until the end of the year. I really want this year to be the year I reach my permanent weight...whatever that turns out to be. How about you? Tri

I hope everyone is relosing those extra pounds. A couple people have posted successes. I am getting used to swimming again 2 lengths this week and 4 lengths next week. It really helps me to log my food to keep me on track. I am going to drop my insulin again to 17 units at night because I am waking up early and needing to eat breakfast at 6 am. I bought some Sketchers sandals and they are very comfortable so I am moving more. It takes time. Have a great day everyone. Tri
