I officially weigh less than Hubby ... after 20.5 years of being together ... I'm at 203 and he's at 206 .... wooo hooooo made my day

 Starting to get things packed and ready to go. Doing ok today. Soon it will be my time on the bench

 Added Pre Surgery pictures to my album and did measurements. I'm down to 228.6lbs on Diabetic Boost Pre Op diet. WOO HOOO

August 25, 2012 Measurements  Weight at 4:05pm - 228.6 Right Side: Wrist - 7" Forearm - 9.5" Bicep - 14" Neck - 18" Breast - 48.5" Chest - 44" Waist - 49.5" Hips - 51" Spare Tire - 50" Thigh - 24.5" Upper Thigh - 25.5" Calf - 16" Ankle - 8.5"

 Day 10 ended with an emotional, crying melt down on the phone with hubby. Since before I started the diet my Mom and Aunt (Mom's sister), have constantly being saying to me you're going to be so beautiful when your face gets skinny and your skinnier and that your true beaufy will show. Also, you will be pretty again like when you were younger, (younger meaning 10 and under). I finally said to my Mom yesterday when she said all that once again, "What am I ugly now?" I think I stund her because she was speakless and her mouth dropped a bit. They also say Ed's (hubby of 16 years and together a total of 20), is really going to love you. He met and married me at this weight. It's just so hurtful even though I know they mean well. I felt sorry for Ed when I had the melt down because he felt helpless being 6 hours away. Thank goodness he will be home in a couple of hours. I can really use one of his hugs.
Day 11 I'm still feeling down about Mom and Aunt. It doesn't help I was up most of the night with the thunder storm. I know once ed walks in the door I will feel better. It's just been a long, lonely 14 days without him. Lets see what the rest of the day has in store

 Woke with energy day after my head battle yesterday. Todays battle wanting a piece of BBQ steak.
One thing I did realise yesterday however is how much I miss cooking. it's not so much the eating I miss it's the cooking. Made Mom a pork chop dinner last night. It didn't bother me at all cooking and watching her eat it. I love how much she enjoyed it. So for tomorrow if supper is home from work I plan on making him that bbq steak I'm craving. I think I just want to smell it. LOL 

 Decided to try taking my night insulin last night and my bllod stayed pretty much the same level.When I went to bed it was 6.8 and this morning it was 6.7. YAY me I'm off all diabetic drugs. 
Even though I haven'thad surgery I have a NSV I looked in the bathroom mirror while brushing my teeth and I saw a nose, a real nose not just something that blended in with my cheeks. I always had what my family called a pug nose. I have to get use to having a nose lol.

it was a rough day for me. I so wanted to quit and just eat some starch but I just drank more water and ate a sugar free jello. The more I wanted the starch the more depressed I felt. I was strong and worked through it. Lets see what day 10 holds.

 Last night I cut back a bit more on the long lasting insulin adn my BG this morning was still really good. I thought I would try not talking anything with my breakfast shake only to learn I atleast have to take my metformin. I will give that a try tomorrow. My sugars at lunch shake where at 7.6. Some may not think that's high but to me it is. I guess I got use to the 5's the last few days. Let see what the rest of the day and Day 9 holds.
My sugars ended up leveling out to 5.3 wooo hooo. No insulin or metformin at all today.
 I'm on day 8  and at day 5 I was eating sugar free mints like they were going out of style at day 6 i went and bought Lysterine strips a 3 pack and have them everywhere. I think I could take myself down with this breath. Those that didn't experience this were lucky lol. 

My average BG for the last 7 days is 6.6 

 Today is day 7 of Diabetic Boost (allergic to opti) and I don't need any fast active insulin, just 1 met with breakfast and 1 with supper. I still need the night long lasting insulin but that is cut back to 15 from 30.

 Day 6 weighed myself at my Mom's today and I'm down 5 lbs. I will take that. I'm still not having any hunger issues. Just went a couple of days where I wanted to eat a salt shaker. LOL  I only take quick release insulin once a day now instead of 3, I take 2 metformin a day instead of 6 and my slow release insulin at bedtime 20 units rather then 30. My sugars are holding good, I may even be able to cut my morning insulin down more started at 18 then 9 and I'm going to try 7 tomorrow. I can't believe what a difference and I have energy. 

 everything is going good... numbers are staying pretty much where they should be .... just bored out of my mind with Hubby on the road for work
