Almost 2 months post-op and feeling great!

Jan 23, 2009

Well it has been almost 2 months since surgery and I am feeling great.  I am basically off all my diabetic medicine.  I just take a 1/2 of Glipzide once in a while if my BS goes high, which is caused by eating to much carbs usually.  It is sure nice not to have to take what I was taking.  

I have had two fills so far on 1/5 and 1/19.  I will see the doctor, 2/2 for a 3rd fill if needed.  He is aggressive with his fills.  He likes to get to that "Sweet Spot" as soon as he can.  I do feel some restriction but still get hungry in the mornings now which is weird.  Before I had my 1st fill, I was never hungry in the morning.  Now that my blood sugars are the best they have been in a long, long time, I can start working on the weight loss which in turn will help my BS's even more.

As of today, I have lost 18 lbs since surgery.  It is slow com paired to others, but I am older and not a usually fast loser.  I am very happy with the pace.  Slow but sure!
