Unhappy Need Encouragement...afraid...

Hello All...

I was doing very well on Met for a few months and then I just stopped taking them...now I have a refill and want to start taking it again ... but .., everytime I take one pill I am in the can for hours !!! then I dont want to take another one either I am off to work a 12 hr shift and dont want to spend 1/2 of it in the can or I have somewhere else to go !!

I really want to take it again and the dose is only 850 mgs
but I just cant seem to do it !

Any suggestions on how to make this easier ??

Thanks All

Default carbs

for me if i took met with carbs of any kind it was diarreaville!! you didnt say if you were low carbing but for me i have very good motivation. If i skimp on fats like no bacon eggs or something substantial in the morning i tend to get lightheaded and feel dizzy but i checked evry time and its not hypoglycemia. mt np says its just using upmore stored fat (increasing lipolysis) and its really rare for someone following a high fat diet like adkins induction to get low blood suar if they are eating enough. I had horrible hypoglycemia in the past and that and the diarrhea is hell so i really watch what and how i eat and be sure and take the time to eat something fatty (even a carbolite bar seems to be enough fat to protect the GI mucosa)I had horrible irritable bowel syndrome and post gallbladder removal diarrhea. I faithfully followed a low fat diet for yaers and ballooned up to 320# now with met and low carbing i'm 255# in like5 months and my np is really amazed when i weigh in evry month. I seem to have hit on exactly what i need and i'm really not going to listen to any scare tactics or misinformation. I say read evrything u can, experiment, consult with your proffesional team and then enjoy the sucess of you motivations!!
As always I am so grateful for my cysters I had not even heard there was a treatment for this disorder and had no idea what low carbing was except all the adkins scare stories until i started reading the boards.
keep trying diffrent stuff until u find whats right for you!!
oh if i do forget to take my met. I have a supply with me and i keep a bag of peanuts or sunflower seeds in my backpack and/or get some emergency chicken nuggets from the drive thru get a large iced tea and drive on my way!! the nuts help too if i'm just hungry and headachy. hope you found something that might help you. Keep trying!!

Thumbs up slim jims

oh i forgot my slimjim "cure"for diarrea!! seems all that grease protects the GI tract somehow (you'd think it was the oppisite) i keep the 25 cent size like 4 inches long in my purse or fold a regular one and eat like 2-3 of the small ones or like 1/2 to 3/4 of a big one. it really does wonders and after that i take one of those breathmint film thingys cause my mouth tastes terrible!! I never liked slimjims before but u know they are my freinds in crisis now.. hope u dont think i'm too weired!! lol
