Guest guest Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 I wanted to let you know that I've posted my latest newsletter, Through Thick and Thin #19 – " How I've Solved My Fruit & Vegetable Problem " – on my website at www.gastricbypasscoach.com. Six months ago, I weighed 355 pounds; was a Type 2 insulin-dependent diabetic; suffered from sleep apnea; and could barely move my body. Today, six months after my Weight Loss Surgery ( " stomach stapling " ), I have lost more than 105 pounds (and about six feet from my various bodily circumferences). I'm no longer taking insulin or any medications for my diabetes; for all intents and purposes, my body is functioning like that of a non-diabetic. My sleep apnea is gone, and I'm walking vigorously up to 3 miles each day. Truly, all of these outcomes are miraculous, and I'm grateful every single day. In my first five months post-op, I had done absolutely everything my WLS doctor asked me to do – except for one glaring omission. I just couldn't find a way to eat my five recommended daily servings of both fruit and vegetables. I wasn't being rebellious or deliberately self-sabotaging. I just couldn't figure out how to squeeze this important nutritional source into my tiny tummy. In this newsletter, I share the solution I've found to my problem. Now I can check off that last " must do " on my doctor's list! If you're experiencing problems or frustrations consuming the nutrition you need from fruits and vegetables, or if you're considering Weight Loss Surgery, I encourage you to visit my website at www.gastricbypasscoach.com. I'd also welcome hearing from you about whether or not you share this problem with me, and how you've coped.
