Haaa! You wouldn't believe how many times I have heard that during my lifetime! lol

Even when I was "naturally" thin, in my teen days, I always weighed about 20 pounds more than other girls exactly my size. I know I have a decent amount of natural muscle mass and a relatively stout bone structure. I have super narrow hips and no butt, and a really wide ribcage and shoulders...often a really crappy combo. Genetics: sometimes a blessing, sometimes a curse.

But, I do have to tell you...you are small...even if you don't see it yet. I don't always see it in myself either, so we are in good company!

Hey stranger!!!
Well-
Sitting at 135- which is decent- up 20 from lowest- but actually down 10 recently, would realistically like to drop another 10 and then would be comfy.
Got the news today tumor is benign!!!  :)   Yes!!!!
Still doing monthly infusions like clockwork.  Yesterday got a penicillin shot in my a$$.  Anyone else's immune system shot to hell?  Triplets having just finished rotating through strep and I just slept for 48 hours.  I am becoming a sloth.  My Christmas tree is still up!!! How embarrassing!!
Good to be here!!!

I don't know if they'll leave a pancreatic tumor in there or what... I know it's small...I have to wait for my next appt which drives me insane!!!
As for hypoglycemic episodes...they've got me on a new med called acarbose 100mg 3x/day along with the metformin.   I don't think it does much, but we'll see.  I've been on it 3wks- 1 month about.  I can definitely see the difference with my diet.  The less carb I eat the better- but even then I still have problems.  The whole thing is wierd.  I really enjoyed and found your friend- "melting mama" extremely helpful.  She totally understood.  At first my Dr wanted me at the ER everytime I was dropping below 50- I was there twice in 3 days- we'd go broke!!!
So- we'll see and I'll keep you posted...
