You know what else I've lost???

My hypoglycemia symptoms. Dieting used to be so hard for me. When I would cut calories I had a lot of issues with my blood sugar dropping. I would be shaky, tired, weak, sweaty.

Since my first fill though I really haven't had problems anymore. I'm assuming that's b/c my food is digesting slower?

It sure is nice to be without it!

I hear ya on that.

Since being banded I've lost most of my anxiety symptoms. Weird that eating less could affect anxiety, but I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth!

I don't think it has anything to do with how slow or fast your food is being digested, it's the amount of carbs your body isn't having to process. Carbs are a powerful thing. They control a major amount of our blood sugar levels. Since cutting out carbs for the past 6 weeks I haven't had a single carb craving or blood sugar crash. I love it! I think people would eat a whole lot less if they only dabbled in the carb world. I love them to no end and I find that it's very weird that I don't even want them now. To me it shows that they have an almost drug like effect.

I was on medication for type 2 diebetes. After loosing some weight and eating low carb. I was able to get off the med. Same goes for my blood pressure and high choloesteral meds. It was very exciting, a great doctor visit.

Losing anxiety symptoms would be a GOD SEND for me!!!
