Happy I found this site! I'm new to the group and just figuring out now that my metabolic syndrome is something I need to pay attention to. Struggle cause I have some long standing stomach conditions that don't do well with high fiber and fresh veggies/fruits, but new troubles Pancreatitis ,high triglycerides, high cholestrol and hypothryoidism all mean it is time to get serious about what I am eating and what I am not eating. Proteins and water will be my new friends. Sugar and bread will be former friends. (Veggies/Fruit and my tummy are a little hard to digest.). So like the girl, Aly, who tolerated carbs and sugary foods better cause of lap band, I too even without lap band, turn to carbs when my stomach condition worsens. Funny how my tummy seems to be able to digest that stuff no matter what, but in the long run, it isn't good for my tummy or me.
So I'm changing my diet and getting my walking sneakers out of the closet. Water, protein mostly and exercise seem to be my fate. Looking for support in the group as I am single/live alone and while I have friends who support me, they haven't lived it..
