Hello,
My name is Junie and I am almost 50 and have struggled with my weight since my 18 y/o ds was born and 3 years ago when they began the horrible steroid treaments for my back (which I have stopped) I became a full blown diabetic and started researching ways to lower my blood sugar and I found it through low carb and I do belong to a low carb forum but after the crash it seems you can't have too many home away from homes!
I posted very little at the old BT because I found usually I was ignored so mainly lurked and used it for info....plus a couple of years ago I had started taking via pm's with a couple of woman and the disapeered so I stayed out of the limelight.
I have lost over a 100 lbs with 30-5- to go...depends I guess on what size I feel best at and my blood sugars were fantanstic until right before my fusion I got a sty in my eye and the infection caused it to flare up so during my 10 day stay at the hosp I got insulin, 4 x a day but I am also hoping it will settle back down soon as the stress of my son's wedding this weekend is over!
I have not been able to exercise for a year now and I am 3 months post op and I am lucky to walk 10 minutes with a walker. I am also on a new med that I am waiting to see if it affects my loss but it affects my memory so if I seem wacky, blame it on the Lyrica!
Sorry for writing a book!
I also applied for disability in may on the advice of my NS as he said my back was a trainwreck and he does not see me being able to work in the future!
