Hi folks,
I've lurked around this site for a few years now and everything I've tried just hasn't worked for me. Low carb diets are so hard to stick to long term. I'm a 114 Kg, 5ft 6" and my weight goes up and down like a yo-yo. Three years ago I had to have stents in my heart arteries as they were too narrow, after that I was a man on mission to loose weight and get my blood sugars and pressure under control - it never worked. My GP and Diabetic nurse, God bless them, love the negative blame game, it's all my fault apparently. In two days time I'm having a Roux - En -Y procedure, no stomach or small intestines, they stay in place but nothing I eat passes through them it's bypassed. Hopefully this will arrest my diabetes and cut my weight drastically, however I'm assured I will have some new sets of problems to contend with - I can live with that.
