No wonder you are smiling! Well done.
The difficult bit starts now though. Not sure how much attention you like, but I found some comments awkward. People were so curious about weight loss sometimes to the point of being rude.
As for future diet / eating regime, there are some threads in here with ideas for low carb meals, and some lovely supportive members who will advise.
Good luck in maintaining weight and good BG control. Long term, like forever!
I ask, (pretty please) keep posting to encourage and support others. Until recently it had been kind of lonely being one of the few successful Newcastle dieters (some would regard that as weirdo/liar/bullmucker etc.) For some of us, ND Is the answer to solving the initial pancreas overload. You have followed procedure set out by the Newcastle team, persuaded medics to get onboard and support you, and not had unrealistic expectations.
I applaud you!
Thank you I am doing well maintaining and have only put on 2 lbs in total since I ended the ND and I seem to be holding steady at that. I am following a low carb diet and keeping to the ten week exercise programme that was given to me by the gym linked to the hospital. I work out for 1 hour three times a week and its a hard set. cardio twice a week weights once a week. I have also kept up the more active part of my lifestyle changes and walk more places than I did before I was diagnosed. I intend to keep that up even after the ten week programme as I think long lean muscle is vital to good long term health. Its still early days but I'm happy with the food and the lifestyle and the fact I am maintaining well. Despite a wedding, two meals out and a family party. I just chose low carb options when possible and kept any treats to healthy (fresh fruit) or a small amount. All I can do now is keep going.
