[QUOTE="catherinecherub, post: 54475"] Hi Trim, I did read up on the procedure. I don't think it will be made available some time soon so my question to you is what are you going to do in the meantime? Do you have the support of family and friend? This can be a great motivator as we all need praise and encouragement. Some low carbers are doing extremely well using cheaper cuts of meat and shopping around for other proteins, i.e. cheese, eggs and fish . Veggies do not have to be obtained from supermarkets that all price them the same, take advantage of offers, use market stalls or even frozen. Vegetarians are also finding success, perhaps it is not so expensive as you think. Someone could perhaps explain the ratio of protein to a meal as I personally do not follow low carbing but my understanding is that it does not involve upping your intake of protein but reducing your carbs and increasing the fat content. I have found that by reducing my carbs and using low fat ,as in the G.I. method I use, that this is also working. There are variations throughout the forum as to how people are managing to control their weight and diabetes. Some just make a slight reduction in carbs and they are successful. Trim, (love the name) I think that by coming to the forum it was not just about the surgery you would like. Other people's experiences can help us all so please, try something that may work for you. Nobody here is bashing your postings, but waiting for something to happen which is beyond your control is not going to help either. Bite the bullet and try. We are all behind you and will encourage you every step of the way. Regards, Catherine. [/QUOTE]
