As of today, I am down 76 pounds and will be getting off my diabetic meds in June 2009. I have more energy and doing a lot of things that I hadn't had the energy to do. Trying to keep up with the grandkids.

As of today my A1C was 5.7 and I was taken off one of my diabetes medicine and a lower dose of the other one. Great Day! If I lose more weight in three months I will not be taking any!

Well, today, I went to see Dr. Graham. I thought I had lost 50 pounds but I didn't. I was disappointed but, I will get over it. I lost 48 pounds and my goal was to lose 50 pounds. Dr. Graham said that I was doing great just for being 5 months out. I had a fill and I have to return in one month. Maybe by then it will be 50 pounds.

Hey, it is Friday Sept 5th and I have been running all week, due to my aunt's stroke and I haven't been able to do to much due to making sure everything with her is okay. I am basically the only family that lives close. I am feeling great today. I will be going back to the doctor Sept. 15th and that will tell the tale. Looking forward to the visit. I feel like I haven't lost very much this month due to not being able to exercise that much. Eating right but not drinking all the fluids I need to do the right job. I feel like this WILL get better when I get back into my routine.
No Exercise this week
Aug 19, 2008
This has been the worse week for me. I haven't been able to go to water aerobics and this will last all week. It is raining and they won't let you get in the water if it is raining. I really miss it. I miss the people. It is fun and I will have to find something else to do this week. I guess I can walk around the local Wal Mart or grocery store. If I do that, it will be boring but it is exercise. I want to be down 50 pounds when I go back to the doctor's office Sept. 15. It is a goal and I want to make that goal. I have done well since I had the surgery and I just want this more than ever. I don't know what I want to prove but it is a goal I want to achieve. My life is improving with my health and I don't won't to miss this goal. It is a milestone for me. I guess I am afraid that I want go back to water aerobics, if I get out of the habit. I just have my fears right now. Oh well, God made the rain and I know he knows what he is doing. With him in my heart, I know I can do anything.
Met Doctor Graham
Aug 06, 2008
I met the new doctor and I had lost 12 pounds from my last visit with Dr. Roye. I am soooo proud. Dr. Graham said I was losing like the RNY...I know that won't last but I am happy right now. I haven't been this weight since before the 1990's. I just can't express how I feel right now. My health is better, I can walk further and I can stand longer and have much more energy. I enjoy going to water aerobics and I am having so much fun. I realize that I am not alone.
Going back to Doctor August 6, 2008

Went on vacation and got back July 31st and son had surgery on 8-1-08. I haven't been able to exercise like I normally do for about two weeks. I go and see the new surgeon (Dr. Roye went to Amarillo) Dr. Andre Graham and I don't think I have lost very much weight. I didn't get to exercise the week before I left on vacation because I was helping other people because they have no one around here to help them. I don't mind helping out, don't get me wrong, but I will be in control of all this next time. I will help in the early afternoon and leave the mornings for my exercising. My diet on vacation wasn't like I do at home. I DID eat healthy because my cousin's wife is very devoted in her diet and everyone has to eat her way, whether you won't to or not. I have never been around anyone that does it her way, she is not that way visiting me. Had a good time and saw the movie Mamma Mia, loved the movie.

Just got results for my A1C from my doctor and it was 8.9 in April 08 (before surgery) and now it is 7.1, my doctor wasn't expecting it to go down that much and neither was I and he told me that he wasn't going to get upset over it because of my weight loss and changing from insulin to oral medications and he was very excited that it went down so much.
