I got rid of all my type 2 diabetes meds after I starting losing weight. YOur family memeber might get off the meds, but only if she no longers eats the foods that cause it AND exercise! I am following another blog where the woman had WL surgery and I am tempted to drop it off my list, since post surgery she is trying to find ways to still eat her Doritos and high calorie junk foods!Donna Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02073595593219354611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20595227.post-91903423315405887152009-03-24T13:33:00.000-05:002009-03-24T13:33:00.000-05:00People can be so stubborn sometimes.

You and I both know that it is the diet not the surgery that affects the diabetes but guess since we don't have a medical degree we won't be listened to.<BR/><BR/>Don't get too frustrated with your TOM weight change. You know that won't last. So glad you found that eating a little more heled you lose some pounds (or ounces as the case may be). We all have to play around with this thing to see what works for us.Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05223456736192620140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20595227.post-86283681041513149382009-03-24T12:59:00.000-05:002009-03-24T12:59:00.000-05:00It is all about food choices but if someone isn't ...It is all about food choices but if someone isn't ready to heard that they won't. I love your "think thin" mantra. I suggest you add "be thin" to it. Don't leave WW, get the weight off and be done with it. You did it before and you aren't far away. You have been my inspiration for almost a year now and we are not going backwards. <BR/><BR/>Speaking of the surgery, I checked in to it but I just couldn't put myself through it. Plus every single person I know that has had it done has gain some or all of their weight back.

I have to agree with you 100%, it's not the surgery, it's the healthy lifestyle change after their surgery that does it. If they just changed their habits and exercise even a little, it makes a big difference.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15195300301975088770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20595227.post-57711223563280643032009-03-24T10:56:00.000-05:002009-03-24T10:56:00.000-05:00If people have their minds set on the "procedure" ...If people have their minds set on the "procedure" there is probably nothing anyone can do or say to change their minds. A quick fix always seems to be preferable to a steady, controlled sensible plan. Don't know why that is, really. I am still afraid of the surgery. I'll take my chances eating wisely and improving my overall health. Good for you on the weight loss. Funny how eating a bit more can lead to success. Who knew? I saw it happen on the Biggest Loser, but it never occurred to me it could happen to me. Must be increased activity.
