Surgery as an option to lose weight for me should be a last resort.
A diet restricted in carbs works well for me. It takes awhile for our body to adjust , but now I have even lost the desire to eat high carb and or sugary foods.
I cooked short beef ribs for lunch/ dinner and had it with broccoli, zucchini and snow peas.
The dinner was delicious.
No longer do I long for bread,
Pastry, rice , potatoes or anything with a high carb content.
If I feel for a treat. I will make a shake with almond milk, raspberries or even strawberries. With a tad of whipping cream. Sweetened with Swerve of course.
Or recently a recipe was sent to me by a friend

Chocolate ice cream

1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons Swerve
1 tablespoon cocoa powder.
Tad vanilla
Shake
Freeze.
Enjoy.

Gonna make that now

If my appetite can change with about 2 weeks, of dieting, so can everyone. We just have to give our bodies a chance to adjust.

Have a lovely weekend everyone.

Unfortunately, there IS NO cure for us. Any Medical professional who tells you that should have their license revoked. I have been a type 2 diabetic for over 21 years now and have seen many Medical professionals up and down the east coast of the US. Not one has ever said, that I could cure it if I did this or that. However, I have been told by most that, it can be kept under control. This disease can be treated, & controlled, not cured. Just a heads up before you do anything drastic. Best of luck and I am here if you need to talk.

Once you're a diabetic, you're always a diabetic. Just because your A1C is within normal range, it doesn't mean you're diabetes is gone.

You still have to watch what you eat and avoid sugar and carbohydrates as much as possible. Otherwise you're A1C will go right back up no matter what your weight is.

You might try taking ozympic. It would take care of any weight problem. In the 6 months that I've been on it I've gone from 210 lb to 168.

@A DiabetesTeam Member, Research, Cynthia. Being over weight is stressful for your heart. Being overweight and diabetic is twice as stressful for your entire body. Talk to you endrochrondolgist or surgeon and ask for their professional opinion.When one is diabetic throw "natural" out the window. Good luck.

That is a very drastic measure. Not something I would recommend.
