Oh, I'm so bad. I have not posted in sooo long...

After my last post I did have to go to the hospital for 3 days to be re-hydrated. I have learned to drink, slowly, although now I can "load" on fluids which is great. I have lost a lot of hair.... along with all my pounds. But I think that will stop soon, or I will run out of hair to lose!

Currently I'm at 192 lbs. I had expected by now I would have lost more. I do have some sagginess, but that was expected. I'm still injecting insulin, just not as much as before. (I still use 70/30 and R, and I inject twice daily, as opposed to 3-4x daily). I was recently told by my doctor that since I have type II diabetes, it is usually not totally resolved with gastric bypass. HMMM.... before, he had told me otherwise.

I am feeling great and I'm able to eat a variety of foods. I don't have much trouble with overdoing it, and every now and then I eat too fast and still get the "brick-in-the-pouch" feeling. I would like to reach my goal of 100 lbs. weight loss by my surgery anniversary date of 12/27. So I would have to lose some 20 lbs. more in about 67 days. I think I can handle that! I also have fallen off the wagon as far as counting my proteins...it seems these days I'm counting carbs a lot more with my diabetes management. I am happy to say that I can now tie my shoes, snore less - if any, my husband doesn't sleep at the foot of the bed, I no longer wake up with numb fingers, and I can RUN and play with my babies! I took them to the park just recently and I slid down the big slide (an enclosed tubular slide) with one of them! Before I'm sure I would have gotten stuck!

So I am doing well, and my new goals now are to lose 30-40 more lbs. (per my doc.) so that I can begin looking towards a total body lift with breast and buttock augmentation!

Love you guys!
