I feel extremely sad that almost as soon as I joined the list John
left, and now Marsha and Dan have left. They did come on a little
strong sometimes advocating what they believe in, but Dave also came on
very strong. I don’t know. Maybe I should leave too. It would make me
very sad, though. But I’m that already.
Dave Said “My preference (and only because I own one) is an Oregon
Scientific thermometer with remote sensor. You can put the sensor right in
the bag and not have to open the bag to check the temp.
At home I use it in the refrigerator drawer and it transmits the temperature
about 30 feet with no problems. I keep the drawer between 38.5-40° You can
find those on EBay at times for a decent price.”
Dave! I didn’t even know there was such a thing! It sits outside the frig?
And you are saying that you put the sensor inside the bag INSIDE the
thermos? What will they think of next???? I have to have one of those!!!!

NOOOOO!!!!!!!!! Marsha don’t leave me here alone!!!
See! It didn’t take much to raise the hackles of the low-carbers! 
I disagree with Annie’s statement that LC works for a "great" many of
us. Yes, I will agree that it works for a good many people but there are
far more people out there who are simply moderating the number of
calories and quantity of food eaten. Yes, I do eat just about everything
as before, but in much more moderation than before. Instead of 4-5
cookies with my coffee, I’ll have one or none depending on whether the
lizard has left room for anything. Byetta has greatly reduced my food
intake whether I wanted it that way or not. When I open a bag of chips,
I don’t eat 1/2 the bag as I might have before, but just enough to
satiate my desire for chips.
I really don’t have a quarrel with Annie or Marsha’s way of eating. I
Just started on the 5 pen yesterday. Does anyone have any ideas on the
best meals to eat and what not to eat. How many carbs a meal work
best. Do you take your Metformin before or after the injectin. I
take 500 mg of metformin in the morning and 500 in the evening.
What are the best snacks for the lizard? ANy information for a newbie
would be great.

That is wonderful! Way to go girl!

Begin forwarded message:
We are going camping next week and I’m curious what kind of thermometer
are you all using while traveling? And is it best to not put the boxed
pen directly on the ice. My 1st shipment just arrived, in a box with a
styrofoam cooler Byetta in a ziplock wrapped in bubble wrap at the
bottom and 4 gel ice packs on top. I see why you can get a budle of
ice packs built up!
i have found a snack that i think is pretty decent. i
find that with my byetta, i need something slightly
carby to offset the nausea and kickstart the drug. i
think this is fairly good and not TOO carby. it is
from walmart. it is called Sam’s Choice Nature Trail.
it contains roasted soybeans, pepitas, raisins ( i
pick those out. don’t like em, no sir i don’t)almonds,
and cherries. it has per 1/4 cup 150 calories and 10
carbs with 5 grams fiber. so a net of 5 gms carbs. i
don’t eat a lot of it, but i am not a breakfast eater,
so i have been eating a serving of this with my byetta
in the morning.
Here …. I’m changing subject line.
I need snack ideas..late night snacks. (Atkins did work for us.)
Opinion on or alternative:
Nuts?
100 calorie pringles?
Pretzels?
Cheese sticks?
popcorn?
hard boiled eggs?
Pork Rinds?
Anyone see better BG on 5 then 10 pen ???
for the last several months, i have been stuck at 190
lbs give or take a couple of lbs. seemed like no
matter what i did i couldn’t budge . Now i don’t know
if this is pure coincidence, or if it has anything to
do with it, but about a week ago, i added a multiple B
vitamin and thiamine to my daily meds (glucophage
500mg twice a day, Lyrica 300mg, byetta 10mg twice a
day, levamir 20 units daily, multivitamin twice a
day). today i stepped on the scale because i thought
my shape looked a little different. i was d own to 178
lbs. WOOHOO!!!!!!!!. haven’t even seen the 170’s in
over 3 years. that puts me at a total weight loss of
122 lbs from my top weight of 300lbs. 52 since
december.( i had lost 130 lbs, but regained 50 2 years
ago) by my calculations that puts me within 20 lbs or
(more…)
