Now it is Labor Day

Sep 07, 2009

I have been losing regularly 1/4 pound to 2 1/2 pounds a week and boy the clothes are getting smaller. Ihave a lot of clothes in my current size, 18, some 16's. I got most of my clothes from "Freecycle". A gal donated a whole big box of this size. Now, I am looking for 14's. Have just a few 14's. Every couple of weeks I try on clothes to see what fits currently. I don't want to go pass a size and not able to wear something.

Went to Delano to see Dr. K on Aug. 17. My son, Jordan, drove me. It would be too long a day to drive down there 3 hours and then back home 3 hours all in one day. He says I am doing great. I did forget to ask if I have a hernia. I think I do. I see my PCP in a couple of days and will ask her. I really want to wait to get it repaired when I have my tummy tuck.

So, I am feeling great and eating a lot of things. Maybe did too many carbs the last few days, so I am back to protein mainly.

You know, for a while, I wondered if this DS really did what everyone says it does, that it is the best thing out there. I wondered if it would work for me, and it has. It is truly a lifesaver and a miracle to lose weight so effortlessly. I have been doing a lot of exercise in the pool. Was hoping to get my arthroscopy scheduled for my knee, but the orthopedic surgeon said to clear this leg cramps I get a lot of. Will ask PCP to send the orthopedic surgeon a note that my leg/foot/toe cramps will not hinder my arthroscopy. I want to really start walking again and can't with my knee pain. I have back pain too, but I am hoping that with getting the knee fixed up, I will walk straighter and not put pressure on my back and hopefully will not need back surgery. I have read a few times that back surgery is to be reserved as a last resort type of thing.

Till next post.
