Need To Seriously Drop Down My Hba1c And Turn My Life Around.

I still think you are mistaking surgery as a 'cure all', it won't stop you eating bread and fry-ups! Whatever you chose to do I wish you the best of luck

 

I know someone who had weightloss surgery years ago. It all went fantastically well until she had just one slip up and ate too much and was very ill, could even have died. @akindrat18 you appear to have 'slip ups' every couple of days at the moment, I am not convinced that you will be able to go through the rest of your life never ever having even one. I know I couldn't.

Re your Mum saying 'Are you sure you don't want fried bread etc?' Surely it's easy enough to say 'Yes I am sure, thanks for asking Mum' . She can't make you eat it, you do that to yourself. The fry up was perfect for you, you only had to cut out the bread and hash browns and have only a very small portion of beans.

Are you telling us the truth all of the time? I thought your Mum was prediabetic or T2 already? Didn't she join this forum once for a while? If your nan is truly supportive, can you go to live with her?

 

Shortcuts ... you don't choose the hard road, do you? Always the line of least resistance

 

The thing is - weight loss surgery is definitely NOT the easy way out. Unless you deal with the issues that are causing you to overeat now, all weight loss surgery will do is torture you for a while until you manage to find ways around it like so many have done before you. The key is getting the mindset right first, or you'll still be stuck on the same old treadmill, going nowhere

You definitely need to get some counselling and some life skills to deal with your issues.

 

Precisely

 

You're intent on ignoring the advice of others, so just go and tread your own path

 

The important thing is to find the level of carbs that suits you and then stay on that level. Getting your BGs stable is more important than weight loss. If that is moderate carbs that's fine as long as you take your insulin correctly. It will be easier to lose weight with low carb though and after around 5 days of sticking to it you should find that you are less hungry. I find that when I am having just one meal a day I am less hungry and the amount I eat is limited because I can't manage too much at one sitting. I get a pain just under my ribs on the left side if I eat too much or drink too much fizzy water.

 

at least it's a start, but remember lchf isn't about starving yourself, its about making the right choices. Don't go to work hungry where you'll be tempted to eat unhealthy things. You've done it before, so stick with it. When you see your bgs coming down you'll see its worth it

 

Yes my stomach thinks it's hungry too. It will have to wait until 5 pm though .
Do keep an eye on your BGs to make sure you don't hypo later. Good luck.

 

This is my point exactly. If anyone wants bariatric surgery that's fine, but if you have issues around food, no surgery in the world will solve that. I think from what @akindrat18 has said, he has issues with overeating and only a psychological approach will help.

 

Just wanted to repost this from another thread

 

I'd say be careful? You are on insulin so you have to factor that in to what you are eating or not eating. If you take 40 units of novarapid and have NO food (when you usually do have food), isn't that a massive risk?

 

Keep testing and keep low carbing
