@s_suther thank you for your prayers. Surgery went real well. I feel better than I have in months. Crazy to think about just 2 hours after being cut on. O hope you all are well. I am planning on continuing with this weight loss center along with my current plan. I was 239 on their scale before surgery today. Down from 301. I can not believe I let myself get that heavy again. Praising the Lord for the info and success I have found.

@2babutterfly, I had an emergency unfill a couple years back. Things were ok. Other than being super tight every few days. In March my diabetes got out of control and I started a diet to control my blood sugar. Started losing weight and my band started giving me great amount of shooting pains. About 4 times a minute. Memorial day I was working in the yard and started vomiting and dry heaving for the better part of 5 hours. I promised my wife I was having it removed. Fought this thing 11 and a half years. I'm just spent. Hope this group becomes active again and I can stay a part of it.

Continue to do your research. Keto is safe. Many say it is not. But when you become fat adapted, you will burn fat. This means cholesterol numbers improve. Yes improve. I successfully reversed type 2 diabetes, lowered total cholesterol. Lowered LDL, raised hdl and lowered Trygliserides. As far as macros, just start by reducing total carbs to 20. Start reading. Ketogenic diet is sustainable. Cracks me up people saying otherwise.

Hoped to get support here. I hope you all are well. Feel free to chime in. My band removal surgery is scheduled for Thursday. I've had good success losing recently. Down 60 pounds since March 11th.

Hope y'all are well. Think I may have this diabetes thing moving in the right direction. Learning a lot. Have a plan. Sugar been good. Feeling good. Lost 20 pounds since the 11th of March.

@s_suther way to stay focused. So glad to hear you doing so well. I really want and need to stay focused with some intensity. Not joined the gym yet. But am walking at least 30 minutes a day outside of work.

Hey y'all. Would like to hear from my peeps. Sugar has been on track for the time being. Lost 14 pounds. Hope all is well with you all.

Hey peeps. Hanging in there. Had a serious medical scare. Blood sugars out of control. On track for the moment. Hope all is well.

Hey y'all. Work been crazy busy. So been moving there. Weather been crap in southern ohio. Haven't walked much outside of work. Did hunt the dogs last Saturday night. 3 mile hike. We bought a camper! So we are planning some hiking trips this summer. Really want to be active.

This new job is keeping my moving pretty much all day. In light days, I park farther away from delivery spot to get few extra steps in. High protein low carb is the focus for me. Hunting the dogs when I can. We usually end up walking a couple miles a night when we hunt. Excited about it!

I'm still alive! Still trucking. Have a local job delivering compressed gas cylinders. Very physical! Just turned 40 in Friday, really wanting to get and stay in track.

Hey, just checking in to see if any of my peeps are still around...

Where my peeps at? Ok the last two days I've been eating a bit much. Still all low carb foods, just more than I need. Work has been super stressful and the hours have been long as usual. I'm working my night off tonight because I took off Wednesday to see my little boy play baseball. I am so proud of him. He is 6 and plays on a team with all 8 year olds. It's not that he is so good, they just stacked his team and he fell into it. Nevertheless he is doing pretty good. The other night, he got two hits. The last one, he hit it and they tagged the runner in front of him for the third out. Kody kept running and crossed home plate screaming "home run! Home run!" No one had the heart to tell him different. It's a good thing too, we are short on bail money...lol @2batterfly hope all is well. @s_suther you rock in or what?
