We all have our health "issues",even besides IBS, don't we? I'm sorry about your eyesight, but you seem very positive and self-motivated, which is worth a pat on the back! I have to remind myself frequently, I can dress myself, I can eat today, I can work today..... As my best friend says - if no one (family/friends) is in the hospital or dying - it is a GOOD DAY!

I'm with you! I really like soy yogurt. But I like almost all soy products a lot more than I thought I would. I looove soy icecream: So Delicious brand. If I didnt see that it said "totally vegan and soy" I wouldnt think it wasnt real icecream! I am wondering what kind of soy yogurt you eat? I found "Silk Live" yogurt with 6 live and active cultures but so far I have only found it at one grocery store (I havent been to Whole Foods yet). And Silk Live is completely lactose/dairy free. While I tried "O'Soy organic" yogurt and it is almost dairy free. The actual yogurt is but the "live and active cultures" are made in dairy. So I was really bummed and thought that that was so stupid to make a soy yogurt and then have the live cultures have dairy in them! But so far the trivial amount of dairy didnt bother me. I like the peach kind!

Thanks for the support, girls
It has not been an easy journey by no means
People are so rude, and can be so hurtful
I have dealt with a lot of teasing, and amking fun of all my life
to se me you wuld never know therre is nothing wrong, as no one can tell I have a disability in my eyes. It is ust that is so frustrating to me is how cruel people are
I guess everyone has crosses to bear, and tis is mine
I ust keep thinking when I get to heaven I will have pefect vison, and be able to eat whateve food god serves and not have to worry about my weight or IBs. How awesome is that LOL
Ijust have so much sympathy for people and am real caring
because of all this
thanks a million

It doesn't make it any easier, but as I was once reminded... you would not have the kind, compassionate, caring heart you do - had you not gone through all you have. There's a saying "If God brings you to it, He'll bring you through it." I'm with you - I'm looking forward to that new body - preferably a size 8  when we get to heaven!

Sorry you are having such a hard time, Dee!
I'll tell you what I eat - in the mornings, I usually eat 2 slices ezekiel bread with either scrambled eggs, turkey bacon(sometimes both). OR A peice of fruit or two. Soy yogurt. OR Oatmeal with cinnamon, stevia, and a little almond milk.
Snacks - fruit or steamed veggies(yellow & zucchini squash, mushrooms, sweet or white potatoes, green beans, etc.) Also, sometimes snack on baked ruffles with home-made artichoke dip or hummus.
Lunch - deli meat Turkey sandwich on ezekiel bread, and some kind of broth based soup. OR home-made BBQ Chicken and steamed veggies. OR chicken or turkey dog with a little ketchup or mustard and some baked chips.
Dinner - Home-made spaghetti with turkey breast or shrimp and some sauteed veggies in it. I use the brown rice pasta noodles.
Ok. There are some ideas. Hope that helps!! Please try not to stress, I am here whenever you need me!

It's going to be hard, but I'm willing to give it a try for a week and see if I have more energy, etc. It will be a good test since I am a bachelorette right now with my husband working away from home for the time being. He will be doing that off and on for the next couple weeks.
It's going to be so hard to give up ALL sugar. It's in EVERYTHING! But I do need to join your crusade. My parents are both diabetic and it is Adult Onset. I'm not over weight and I get lots of exercise....mainly in the summer with yard work, etc.
So starting tomorrow....I'll do my best to cut some sugar out of my diet.
Wish me luck! And I'm proud of all of you who are doing this. You go girlfriends!!!
