Hey! I’m Shelby! I’ve been a member of fitness pal for a while and I have used it a lot. I recent fell off the bandwagon once again, but this time it became dangerous. I developed acute pancreatitis and was transferred to the hospital and put in ICU for 5 days. My triglycerides were 4423! Yes, you read that correctly. They had to place me on an insulin drip to help treat my triglycerides. I was extremely sick. After talking with my dietician and doctors, they put me on a very strict diet. I can have lean meats, low fat items, some veggies and some fruits. I’m very thankful for my team of doctors that help me get better,because to be honest, I was scared to death! Anyways, I’m using fitness pal once again to track not only to track my calories, but to also track my carbs, fats and so on. If you would like to add me to follow my journey of a healthier lifestyle, please feel free.
