I had a BMI of 39 with type 2 insulin dependent diabetes

Started at 213 Surgery 10-17-2012 201 Today 169.2 And I'm 5'2 I do 1hr of cardio every day and 30 day shred 2x's a week

In the beginning I always had the urge to burp, like if I did it would relieve some pressure but never could. The hiccups are the worst.

Oh girl, the struggle is real! There's no beating it.

I was an insulin dependent type 2 diabetic for 7 years. On an insulin pump for the last 2 years. Since my surgery I've had to take insulin maybe a hand full of times. My a1c last week at my 3 months post op appt was 5.2.

After the 3rd or 4th day the soreness goes away

My nut gave it to me.

Bump

For the last week I have been sick with a severe sinus infection and bronchitis. My primary doc put me on an antibiotic and gave me sudafed. During the first 3 days I felt like no relief from the sudafed or Afrin or DayQuil and I take Zyrtec daily for allergies. Since this is my first cold since having surgery. My question is does surgery affect the break down and absorption of the medications?

I usually just order what ever it is i normally get but sub my sides for fruit and veggies, or something the hubby wants extra of. Then I box about 70% of my meal as soon as it comes to the table. I love left overs for lunch. Or I try to find something I like on the seniors menu and box about half of it. If they give me trouble I just tell them I have a medical card that explains why I'd like a smaller portion and if they'd like to see it.

I'm slowing down too. Seems like I've only lost a pound and a half since xmas. My surgery date was 10-17 I'm down a little over 42 pounds. I'm trying to increase my protein and increase my work out intensity.

Great job! You look great!

Chicken hates me! Dairy is hit or miss, some days are better than others. Surprisingly beef is my friend, of course leaner cuts.

I was on a pump. 2 months before surgery I was on a modified liquid diet which I adjusted my pump to my cal/sugar intake 1 month prior to surgery on full liquids I went off my pump completely and went on injectable once per day depending on my fasting bg I did have times of lows usually at night or if I forgot to eat lunch I carried gluco tabs and when I'd feel low I'd just check my bg and pop a tab and re check in 15 mins. surgery 10/17/12 pre op wt 215 surgery wt 201 current 181

i hate colace with a passion. it seriously has the worst taste and makes my throat sore for hours after taking it. I just started mixing miralax in to my drinks hopefully it helps.

This southern girl loves her iced tea. Which I used to make by boiling up a simple syrup( sugar ,water, Lipton) I've since switched to the decaf and Splenda. Which is fine when the tea is pre made. Like the way they serve it up at restaurants. My problem is at home. It's not the same any suggestions surgery 10/17/12 pre op wt 215 surgery wt 201 current 181
