No big losses but little wins

Nov 14, 2012

My beginning weight was 235.  Day of surgery 11/07/12, I was 217  and one week after surgery 11/14/12  I am 210.  I was disappointed I didn't come off more of my meds but I realize that will take time.  So far, I am down to six meds versus the 12 that I was taking.  My prescribing physician will not try any new regime, though an emergency room doctor has suggested to take me off one insulin and put me on Metformin because Metformin actually works better than the insulin at reducing my blood sugars.  I can't wait to discuss this face to face with him at my next visit.  It's no big loss to me but a little win that keeps me looking forward to the next little win. With that in mind, today I walked for 30 min.  Next week, I go for my 2 week post op exam and I will be on pureed.
