Two months out

Sep 05, 2011

so two months ago today I had my surgery. How am I different?  No more blood pressure meds. A1C at 6.5 from 8.1. And 28 pound slighter!  I am wearing clothes that I could not even zip up pre surgery and some of them are too big!! I have had one dumping episode and 3 eating too fast episodes, none of which were fun!! Obviously, learning to eat slower is harder for me than learning to stay away from too sugary foods!!   I am eating everything except beef and pork and tolerating everything, some stuff of course better than others. This is going to sound silly, but some days, i wish I was back on just shakes!! some days, trying to decide what to eat is hard! After then 70 grams of protein and 64 oz of liquid, there isn't much room for anything else!! But, I am so happy to be able to go places and find something to eat. and I am feeling better-healthier. I see my doc at the end of October and I will get my results of when I take my lab work on my 3 month anniversary. Looking forward to that next set of labs and hoping that insulin will soon be a thing of the past!
