THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY..04/18/15
Apr 18, 2015
Feeling pretty good today so far. The diarrhea finally cleared up on day 3 but a little nausea remained for a couple of days. Need to get my house in order. Youngest daughter, son-in-law and 8 month old grandson coming in from California for 5 days, be here late Thursday night. Yippeee. Going to see my VSG surgeon on Tuesday for 6 week check up. Gosh can't believe it has already been almost 6 weeks. Weight loss overall has been good but sort of a short stall right now, bouncing between 211.8 and 212 for several days. Think it might of been due to being on the sick side, didn't get enough water in. Keeping close eye on urine color and output though so not getting dehydrated. Don't know how to count the fluid part in watermelon but that sure has tasted good lately, only a few cubes at a time. PCP to be seen on Wednesday, having her run blood work especially renal panel. Want to keep close eye on that since I am (?) type II diabetic. Took last diabetic med just before surgery date (pre-op diet works wonders, numbers dropped to 74 a couple of times beforehand). Not on any BP meds either. Sugars this morning 99 (running between 88 and 99 for the past 6 weeks). Everything looking good, tenderness in incisional area still. Will address that with surgeon on Tuesday. Someone posted earlier this week, "Hate my sleeve for what I can't eat now, but LOVE my sleeve for the same reason." Love that. So true. Head hunger still a slight problem. My blog is mainly for my own reference in the future but anyone is welcome to read and hopefully get something out of it also.. Any and all comments appreciated and welcomed..
