Does anyone else have this problem? I'm actually getting looks from co-workers while at lunch! It's so embarrassing! Will this always happen???

I totally agree Ariella! There are so many blessings that I see daily! It feels like I'm standing on top of the mountain I was buried under for so many years, finally!

You look beautiful! Congrats on those 8's!

Oh my gosh, awald0! Awesome job!! 110 in 8 months is great!

Thanks Kathy!

I'm 3 1/2 months out and down 53 lbs!! Gone from a size 18 to 8-10! YES! One of mine is, being able to cross my legs! I've not done that in so long! Another is more personal, Not feeling embarrassed if my hubby walks in on me changing! Now, it's your turn.

3 1/2 months. Diwn 51.5 lbs!

I love spicy foods but can no longer tolerate them. Stillcrave them, but one bite makes me hurt.

Thanks! Gonna have to try this out. Sounds great!

One thing I noticed I'm not doing is logging my exercise on this app. I have another that I use for that but I should on here too. May help me realize more about my sugar lows too.

Thanks! This might help me to try new things too. I'm curious about the low carb pancakes.

I AM on myfitnesspal! Don't laugh, I looked for you but can't figure out how to add a friend, lol. Let me know and I'll add you, or look for Pizzaday....I know, contradicting name for a sleever. :-P

So, how many carbs do you average? Does your nut suggest you doing more than 25? You just described exactly how I'm doing mid morning and mid afternoon! Thats when I have the most trouble with it. I'm trying to check my bsl 2 hours after eating lunch daily but it's hard to break away from a classroom full of students to check it. So, it's not consistent as I'd like it to be. Congrats on the awesome weightloss btw! How exciting!

My family doctor recomended tracking with the glucometer. Read 77 after an egg scrambled with cheese and onion and part of a protein shake. I've been checking 2 hrs after lunch and protein ts been between 90-97. Still feeling a bit shaky every now and then, Even though I've upped the carbs. :/

I reread my folder on long term. Still recomends 25. Hmmmm.... I'll see my surgeon on the 31st for my 3 month and talk to him about it then. In the meantime, I'll just keep record of my suger levels and incorporate more morning carbs. I know I need more fiber too. Can't go without softners and miralax. Ugh!

I wonder why so many of us are being told to stay under 25 carbs if it can be harmful. Of course, I realize I probably won't continue to lose as fast as I have been by bumpimg up my carbs, but I guess that's something I'll have to deal with. Thanks for the help.

Thank you so much for clearing things up for me. I really never thought about it that way, but it makes good sense. I assumed that by my eating/drinking 5-6 meals daily I should be able to keep my sugar stable as possible since it worked before my eating habits changed to low carb. There is a history of diabetes in our family so I definitely don't want to go down that road. My brother also has hypoglycemia. Will adding carbs slow my weight loss though, or should I switch to low fat diet now?

I've had trouble with hypoglycemia for many years and have managed it well with 5-6 meals daily. Now, it seems I need to learn to manage differently than before. I don't u derstand though why I'm having problems when I don't touch sugar now at all and eat so few carbs. Confused.....

Was there a diabetic concern for you? I have a strong family history of diabetes so it does worry me some.

I had a health assessment yesterday and I was told my blood sugar was too low for having had breakfast and a protein shake before the bloodwork. They said I really need to keep a watch on it. I'm wondering if I need to add more carbs to my diet. I'm 3 months out and I've lost 50 lbs already. So excited! I'm affraid the weightloss might stop of I do. I keep my carbs between 20-30 most days. My caloric intake is around 800 avg, and protein is usually between 60-80.

Maybe my system will line out soon too. Thats really been hard to get lined out with that. Taking dulcolax 2x daily just to go. I can't continue doing that.

I'll give that a try. Thanks!

Thanks lovely, I'm hearing a greatdeal about steel oats. Going to try them out. Any suggestions of whats thebest way to fix them? Or should I only stick to package instructions.
