It's early days but this time I feel very hopeful because I'm not getting very high bgs like I've had previously or when I've had an infection. Good steady lower than 8s and 5s before meals. Waking on good fbgs gives the good start. I'm still using a fatty protein before bed.I use reheated potato and enjoy roast dinners and fish/seafood pie. I have high protein meals and my kidneys still measure as normal. I see a craving as proof of a previous bad meal combination. I learn by it and move on. No guilt at all.If I don't buy bad foods they cannot be eaten in my home.A treat is allowed as long as balanced out in the next meal.Some days I eat very little and some days I can eat 3 meals. Only 1 course worth though. Satiety comes from tasty protein. Made by what I make myself or cooked by others.What I like the most about having the Roux-en-y operation is I'm one of very few who haven't added anything after my op 2yrs ago. Many add around 6lb or more. Not me. I've had odd bits of water retention from old adhesions. I'm still on weight adding meds so if I wasn't I'd have lost more weight. Ironically Asthma hasn't improved but I'm sure risk of heart failure has. Activity reduces heart disease not just weight loss. My cholesterol is still good and not on any statin. My thyroid is still under active but has improved greatly. Metformin works better for me if my body uses it well (no loose tummies) so 1000mg to 1500mg works if I eat enough. No loose tummies keep me feeling stronger and my hair/ nails stronger. I upkeep my B12 injection therapy. Lockdown just placed my efforts in suspense. Like many other's plans.How are you doing?</blockquote>
