Finally broke the stall. Down 20 pounds since surgery, 35 overall. Also lost 10.75 inches. Now I just need to get up and start exercising!

Idaho Wine run this Saturday. Wild fire 10 mile away from the race. Hazy vizion people with inhalers. Oh this should be interesting.

Today my endocrinologist who I just met and has no idea who I really am, refused to refer me to my surgeon so my insurance can cover my gastric sleeve. I'm devastated. I've been trying all day to stay calmed. I don't know what to do. The worst part is being told by my family and friends "maybe is for the best".

some may disagree and im sorry in advance, but I wouldn't recommend this site to anyone. I've stopped using it because I read posts that don't get answered, and I post some of my own and no one responds. I haven't been on here in weeks because of it.

Checking in to say I am feeling wonderful and beginning to really look good. Look forward to my 6 month checkup. Still losing fairly rapidly and sooooo pleased.

So the day of my surgery they almost didn't do it because my sugar was 73. I did exactly what they told me to the two weeks prior to my surgery. She came over to me and said your chart is incorrect it says you have type 2 diabetes not type 1. I simply stared at her and waited because I was sure she had a point. Then she just walked away. Anyways after my surgery my sugar was ridiculously high. It was 199 WTF!

I feel like I am in a race with the end of summer to get in as much pool time as possible.

I think I have a case of thrush. Gonna call doctor in the morning

Out of the 300s. Will NEVER see that digit in the hundreds place again!

I really try not to compare myself to others, but I'm feeling jealous of the people who drop weight quickly. Especially when they weigh like 100 pounds less than me.

This morning my weight was down to 105, giving me a BMI of 18.6. My doc recommends that my BMI be above 20. It’s time to start taking this seriously. I’ve been in diet mode for so long that I’ve gotten used to always choosing the lowest calorie/highest nutrition option at every opportunity. I have to branch out into higher calorie/high nutrition foods as well.

I know this is crazy as it would never have happened on my own but just 16 days afar surgery i am only 114 pounds down and I'm starving

ahhhh, hubby made some sweet and low chicken over rice tonight, I only had a few bites and my body did the sugar dumping thing...

Last week my four-year-old grandson told me that I have “mashed potato arms” and then proceeded to waggle my bat wing. At the time I didn’t react, but I guess it really bothered me since I’m still thinking about it. This loose skin is a scourge.

The thinner I get, the wilder my wardrobe. Too much color? Too bad, I'm having a blast.

Today I'm wearing a pair of coral, white and dusty pink floral patterned capri style jeans. A couple of years ago, I could not have imagined wearing them. I would have felt like a billboard. Now I don't care. They're fun and I'm wearing them. Being thinner has given me so much more confidence when it comes to fashion.

10 months post-op today! Only 6.6 pounds to goal!

I met with a cardiologist yesterday. I definitely feel better after seeing him. He believes having two major surgeries in 8 months has played a huge role. My passing out, dizziness and low heart rate is being caused by 3 things: surgeons using steroids during and after spine surgery has caused my adrenal system to be out of whack which is causing my body to take longer to acclimate to positional changes, dehydration from the ability to swallow much for the last 4 weeks and the nerve in my cervical spine that was impacted and controls heart rate is irritate. He said it is like a perfect storm. An endocrinologist can help me with the adrenal gland issue. Of course Imy throat is getting better making hydration a bit easier and I just have to give that nerve some time to heal. My heart looks very health! Thanks for all the well wishes!

Nervous today. I meet with a cardiologist to see why my heart rate is so low and I keep feeling dizzy/lightheade. I passed out a week ago. All of this following major spine surgery. Off all medications and it is still happening. I hope they don't find anything too scary but need answers. Wish me luck!
