Celebrate Good Times! I am so excited. I have been feeling down and Fatter the past few weeks. I have not seen a weight loss in the mirror which I know lots of people go through but try telling me that at the time. I have lost (Drumroll Please) 47 1/2 lbs. I was so happy! My A1c was 5.7, cholesterol was great  and my protein and calcium levels were perfect! My doc said I was doing wonderful and keep doing what  I'm doing and he will see me in July!  Best birthday present I've ever had. Thanks for reading and I will post more later!  







                                                                

Hi everyone! I've been doing well. I've been getting in all my protein and water. The water has been an issue the past two days. I have been excercising 4 to 5 days a week. I have found the Leslie Sansone workout videos. Walk away the pounds! I have two of them and they are fantastic. I like doing them much better than my treadmill. The time goes by so fast. I also have been lifting hand weights. I also want to do yoga and pilates. My doc said not yet because he still doesn't want me to do stomach excercises. I will be patient. i used to hate seafood. All seafood and fish but grilled shrimp is now one of my favorites, lots of protein too. We'll I hope everyone is well. I will post more later.

I went today to see my surgeon. I have lost 23 lbs. Yeah! I think I have gained some muscle because I can really tell the loss and I bought new smaller clothes yesterday! He said I was doing well. Protein a little low and he wants me to try to get in a little more water, He said my incisions were healing very quick and looked great. My Diabetes test went from a 6.2 on medication to a 5.1 on none. HIPHIPHOORAY!
I go see him next in April on my bday the 30th. I'll post again later.

Okay! I went back to work yesterday and it was a good day! I had a lot of work to do to get caught up but I found myself not being the normal grazer I used to be at work! I had to remind myself to eat just to get in protein! That has never happened to me before. No one ever had to remind me to eat! I am also doing the video walk away the pounds/ I love it! I was getting real bored of the treadmill everyday! I went and got my 1 month blood samples drawn this morning! I go to my surgeon next monday to see how I am doing! I can't wait! We'll until next time!

I went to my Pcp today. I am down 18lbs in less than a month! I am no longer on any diabetes medication. My PCP was tripping out! I was on 3 oral meds a day and a shot! I also came off my cholesterol pill! I came off the pill that they had me on for protection of my liver from the diabetes! Other than my vitamin and calcium I only take synthroid for my inactive thyroid and fluoxentine for depression. This surgery was worth this alone. The weight loss is an added Pleasure. I go back to my surgeon on the 24th. My PCP scales always weigh me higher so, I am looking forward to being weighed on my original scales. I am so happy I have had this surgery.  I will post agiain later!

Ugh! I hate protein shakes! I have tried the fruity vials called profect from www.protica.com and if i dilute these with an ouce or two of water they are actually not bad. They come in different flavors. I got two sample 4 packs to try different ones. There has only been 1 i didn't like so I watered it down more. They are only 3 oz. They have 25 grams of protein per vial. So if you hate the shakes, give them a try! 
I will update later!

Ok, I'm so excited! I went for my post op visit on wed. 1/24/07 to have my drains removed. I have lost 11 pounds! YEAH!!!!!!! Thats just unbelievable to me in 1 week but those are the original scales and they don't lie! WHOHOO! Then I got to go to Waffle House and have a scrambled egg w/cheese. I believe that was the best egg I ever had! I ate about 2/3 of it and held it down fine. I go back to the doc in 4 weeks! I feel wonderful and am getting around really well. I have as much energy as I had when i was in highschool! It  is a challenge to get in my protein and my water intake but I like a challenge! I will post again later!

I had my surgery on thursday 1/18/07. i also had my gallbladder removed. I came home this morning, Saturday 1/20/07. My doctor said I was doing great. It feels so good to be home. The pain was not nearly as bad as I anticipated. Also, I'm not hungry. Thanks for all the prayers. I'll post more later..
