Btw I have many illnesses because of obesity. I'm 4'11" and weighed 200. I'm 62. Wanted the last 20 or so years to be healthier and happier.

I wasn't getting any straight answers about diet. I've been having trouble stabilizing blood sugar. Had a glucose tolerance test down a couple weeks ago. After 1 hr it was 352, than 1/2 hr later 158, then at 2 hrs 117. I was told by my internist that is diabetic. The nutritionist where I work said I should eat the same time every day and have a few snack of a good carb and Protein together. Like apple/peanut butter , whole wheat crackers /cheese, almonds too. I'm still fighting the "shakes" between eating. I've crashed a few times and the I search for candy to get the sugar up...feels like I'm going to die...then my levels are out of wack again. I've emailed my sleeve dr a couple times and have gotten no response. I 6 months out, lost 100 pounds (60 before sleeve ). Very confused and frustrated. Have not lost anything in 3 months! ;(

Just seeing this and yes I have them both...sleeved 6/18/13...hw 349...sw 301...today 214...im doing much better I had to go from the methatrate (sp)pills to a injection but was able to do Water excercise mostly at first and chair dancing but as the weight came off and I improve I can do more. ..yes lossing weight helps and some days I really hurt but at lease it some days that its really bad and not everyday like it use to be....

I guess im just not there yet... after being on my feet all day and trying to run my business, raise my kids, blah, blah, blah... I've got nothin left.

Ok! I am really trying but I honestly just dont know how you people find time to work out so much! 13 hours at work on my feet all day. Zumba, or anything else for that matter just ain't gonna happen... not tonight anyway, and since tomorrow is Saturday and I already have over 8 hours of clients scheduled plus bookkeeping and cleaning, probably not tomorrow either. You guys must all be retired or something!

I think I need a grief councilor too. There are many things in my past that have caused grief. I think they've just built on top of each other. If you can find a walking , Zumba, or even a Micky mouse exercise DVD you and your grandchild can do it together.

Sorry about you too Linda. The pain never goes away. It just turns into a dull ache like a headache that never goes away. I have to get back on track do I try not to beat myself up.

Muscle relaxant didn't work. Woke up during the night PT yesterday almost killed me. But I did walk the halls at school today for 10. Now I'm using a heating pad to help get through the rest of the day (kids are napping ). Can't take muscle relaxers and teach 4 year olds.

I've been hit with one thing and another this week. I'm trying to muster up the will to go do some laps from 12-1. Pray for me.
Okay, that's overdramatic. But still.

Having similar problems. Christmas had been somewhat depressing since my son died 17 years ago at the age of 17. Things were harder this year because a week before Christmas I was T-boned and my car was totaled. I'm in physical therapy now ... Not seriously injured but hurt. I try to walk at least 10 minutes a day. Have fibromyalgia also. Tomorrow I go back to work, teaching 4 year olds. I need to get back to just Protein and veggies. Or maybe just Liquid Protein for a week or two. I was sleeved late June (lost 60 before) and 40 since surgery. But haven't lost anything in two weeks. Yuk.

Walked 14 minutes today. The woods were awesome. Lower back and rt hip started hurting so I didnt go longer. Just glad I made my "at least 10 minutes" goal ! School starts again Monday. This will be a whole new ball game.

You're not hijacking. I wanted to see a discussion and I thank those so far that have responded. I'm stilly confused about the fact, that, according to mayo Clinic sugar substitutes don't alwsyd affect blood sugar but sugar alcohol can. Not all artificial sweeteners contain sugar alcohol. My family is still actively debating this and Iis leaning toward saying using a little sugar is healthier. My head is spinning.

I'm from Tyler. Sleeved in June. Dr Fox in Dallas did my surgery.

U guys put me to shame! All this insanity is insane. I walked 30 min today at the mall...BEFORE PT...Just got back from that and running some errands. Have my new car so now I have to haggle with the ins co to getting medical/pain/suffering taken care of. That will be awhile yet. I wonder how much screwing up Christmas is worth. Time for a nap.

LOL.. Thanks but anyone who knows me knows I won't be wearing any orthotics. My problem is I trail run in vibrams which offer no protection when you stub your toe on a hidden tree root while barreling through the forest. Occasionally these things happen.
It's not my first broken toe and likely won't be the last. The way I look at it....it's less painful than dying from obesity.

I did it! I walked 10 minutes today. My word for the year is "WALK". Right now my neck and back are killing me...but I walked!!

Ok. Since I just started physical therapy because of a car accident...car totaled...I comment to walking at least 10 minutes a day.
