Back from the dietian appointment / 17 lbs Lost!
Hi
Had my one month appointment with the dietian since i started byetta.
And my sugars are good according to her and i have Lost 17lbs. I am so
happy!
I started the 10 pen beginning of this week and it is doing a great job.
The dietian said keep up the good work and to make myself a jornual
other then just my food and sugar diaries. And to get a buddy to work
with me also.

I just started the 10 mcg a couple of days ago, too. Just now I slipped
into the clinic (I work downstairs) and weighed myself — 8 pounds in 4
weeks. I was expecting (and hoping for) a bit more, but heck, I’ll take it!
As with the 5 mcg, just an hour or so of mild queasiness after the first
two doses, since then no problem with side effects, although I think the pen
misfired last night since it apparently had no effect on my blood sugars (or
appetite, unfortunately). Today has been much better. Debbie

Hi Debbie
Watch your carbs. I know the dietian had me on a 1500 cal diet, 45 carbs at
each meal plus 10 at snacks. I cut that back some. I try not to eat bread
unless it is 7 grain or whole wheat.

Yeah, I’ve got a bit of a carb dilemma — I’m a vegetarian, a vegan-at-home
actually (meaning I’ll sometimes eat cheese and egg products when I’m eating
away from home if I can’t avoid it), and it’s darned near impossible to keep
carbs lower and not eat animal products. If any other vegans have tips I’d
appreciate it.
It’s been an interesting evening, I took the 10 mcg at about 7 PM, had
dinner at about 7:50 PM (a bean burrito and some salad veggies) and just a
bit ago at 8:30 my BG was 63. It was not high when I took the shot, only
96. The drop seems pretty precipitous; I think it’s time to drop the
Amaryl. Otherwise, so far the side effects have been minimal, some vague
queasiness is really all I’ve had. I am having to really push hard on the
plunger on this pen, this morning I thought I had done it but when I took
the needle out of my skin it squirted the dose out. Weird. Since I was
sure I hadn’t gotten the dose I did it again and with much more pressure
finally felt the click.

Hi Debbie
I am a carb and sweets person my self. I really only eat meat at dinner
time. And that is usually chicken. Like i said i went to the dietian
yesterday.
And i told her that between 2;30-3:30 when i am at work i start to crave
the bakery stuff. Then when i am off and home i dont. She told me it was a
mind thing and that i should think of all that stuff as poision.
We will see today since i have to work. We will see how it goes. I am
thinking about doing that also with the carbs thinking its poision and see how
that
does too. Plus the only other thing that i cut down on was the diet soda
during the week its one can a day except for when i am home on weekends maybe 2
cans. I also drink alot of water and i also drink Crystal Light Ice tea.
