re:was food and diet,a different answer for a friend

[Guest guest]

Spyder, I have a girlfriend who weight is almost 400 pounds.A number of years

ago she had her stomach stapled in a bet to lose weight, she lost the weight it

almost killed her. Once she had it undone she gain all the weight back plus a

little more. At this time she has diabetes, and was unable to give up all the

food she loves. To help her get better control of her numbers, the doctor has

put her on glyset, it stops her from absorbing all the carbs she eats. Its

alpha-glucosidase inhibitor.It does give her gas and diarrhea for about 2 hours

after she eats. She has learned to time this so she suffers these effects at

home.Idon't believe this is an answer for everyone, but I know my friend is at

this time unable to give up all the food is loves.This fact doesn't make her a

bad person, just a person with a very big problem who happens to have diabetes.

This is helping her to get her numbers down, and she is eating less, and

learning better habits, for her diabetes. Right or wrong, some people just can't

give up all the food , if it was that easy for them, no one I can think of would

have a weight problem. Maybe this would be an answer for your friend.Hope this

helps,D.J.

may this find all well with you and yours,D.J.M.
