Good news from Dr. but frustratted with myself
Feb 16, 2009
Saw Dr. Means today. He was ok wiht the weight loss but not happy with the exercise, or lack there of. I keep working on it though. His only suggestion was an elipitical, i found that they hurt in the past but if I can find one to try I will try again. I am alos hoping that my PCP will get me the exercises to strengthen my knees some. Until I can do more I will continue to do weight lifting and yoga when I can.Dr. Means did add 1 cc to the band today, I am hoping the success wiht the acid reflux continues, a little scared it will not though. Espically it started before I even got to work today. His theory is if we are not going to use the band as it ws intended then eventually I will start to regain. or atleast quit loosing. He also felt that the 5-6 small meals will help and I know the added fluid does!!!
Frustrated taht I actuall gained 4 lbs in the last week and a half. I will continue to look at my diet and journal, might ask the dietitian to help next Tuesday. I nkow it i s only 4 lbs but it is a gain at the time I am altering my diet habbits. My mom - God love her- said whell it happens to all of us but I don't want to let this go and get worse or for it not to be the diet but the meds I started a week ago and not get that in check as well.
I have also been having a little trouble with getting my right eye to focus today, I hope it is just today, it is really annoing and a little scarry since I ahve not had this as a problem before today. I know I am due for new glasses but to happen over night is a little strange. I did make the appointment though. I am sure it will come up wiht the headaches any way. I am surprised it has not been mentioned yet.
I am considering going to the Y and see aobut a membership, just to see what they have and if it is worth it. I can not do a whole lot now but I am trying to build up my strength in my knees so I can. I know it is huge for my physical and mental health.
Hopefully a good day tomorrow!!!!
