I've lost more than I weigh. 20 lbs left to goal. I am still trying to find myself , or recognize myself. Was it worth it, yes. Every up and down. I am now officially addicted to clothes. Waiting on insurance co. I had my consult with plastic surgeon, time to get rid of this loose belly fat.

Saw Nurse Prac and NUT today. Need to get more protein in. But overall doing well. I had a surprise I didn't realize, I was 2 lbs heavier when I started the program than I thought, so I made the adjustments. YAY! 34 lbs down since surgery, 57 lbs down since I started the program. I'm at 6 weeks post surgery today.

My A1c in March was 9.2 Today it is 6.1 almost one month after surgery! 27 lbs lost since surgery, and 48 lbs lost since I started the program. No more diabetes meds or insulins. My lipitor and HBP meds were reduced too. WOW!

It's funny to me I can see the most yummy food on tv, I can smell food all day long up and down the hallways of this hospital wing, but I don't care one bit about food. I'm not hungry at all, and I don't care if that lasts forever. If I have to remind myself to eat, and just eat to be nourished, I would be so happy. I've developed a low grade fever since last I wrote, I sweated it out there for a few hours then my pain meds, which contain tylenol brought it down a bit. I am having a shake now, just had my pain med. I am hoping for good news tomorrow. I want to go home. It's time.
No more fooling around, just time for me to have my own bed, and make my own shakes. -

Thanks @judyoz. I just had talk with mu nurse, she assured me I was doing great, trying, really trying to eat right, and drink enough fluids. And of course, she let me know that despite these setbacks, she thinks I'll be fine and i'll be out tomorrow.. Monday the latest.
