Surgeon Testimonial Mark A. Shina, M.D. What can I say? He rocks! The humor is there if you search for it, but above and beyond the man knows his stuff. Isn't that the best reason to pick a surgeon?

It's getting easier...
I have to say things are getting easier every day. I'm finally sleeping in my bed (I've been confined to my recliner), although I still have to prop myself up. I have an issue with pain near my belly button, and the doctor said this was normal and might get worse before it gets better. I'll be glad for the day I can sleep on my side again. I hate sleeping on my back. I went mall walking last night. It took me awhile, and my husband was very patient with me. They told me to start out slowly (like I can do it any other way). I was exhaused after one trek around the mall. Again, I know this will get easier - I just want to start off on the right foot and do this correctly. I didn't have my innards changed to do this the wrong way. :) I called the nutritionist this morning, and she made me feel so much better about what I'm doing. She said my protein intake sounds right on track, and that contrary to what some people said the protein in my drink doesn't break down in 2 hours. Phew. However, she did say I would be doing better with calcium citrate as opposed to the Tums (calcium carbonate). So, I'm making a run to the store later today to rectify that. I've also been advised to add some Benefiber to my shake, as I'm having some "potty issues". I'm planning on calling a therapist as well. For so long food was my crutch, and now that's gone. I don't want to develop another dependency, as I know that I have an addictive personality. I think, thus far, that emotionally this has been harder for me than physically. However, I remind myself - you are now off insulin and only taking one pill a day for diabetes. The doctor said soon that would be gone. Your health is already improving. :) 0 Comment(s)
