Although I have not posted recently, I have been catching up on the posts about once a month. I felt that I needed a little time away. I felt as if I were "obsessing" over my health
so I kept my time on the board to a minimum.
Since my myectomy 16 months ago, I have lost 60# YEAH! Recently, I began walking a mile a day, which is amazing for someone who couldn't walk fifteen feet to the bathroom without SOB.
I read with interest some of the posts about dieting. I have been following the WW (Weight Watchers) plan - this is what works for me. However, I have noticed that after carbohydrate ingestion, my symptoms seem to increase. I have also been recently diagnosed as borderline diabetic. I'm sure that there is some kind of connection there - i.e. diabetic + carbs = symptoms. As addicted as I am to carbs, I think it's time to consider adding more protein to my diet.
It's good to know that everyone is doing well. To all the ones about to embark on the myectomy journey, you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Lisa, thanks again for all your help & keep up the great work!
