  1. Had my 6 month bloodwork drawn this morning. I ended up passing out. I warned the tech that I get seriously dizzy and lightheaded after a few vials so they were ready for it. That was not a fun an experience.

      I fully expected to get woozy, but never expected to actually pass out. In the future I'm going to have to see if I can do the draw over two visits because I am not going through that again.

  2. This would be a good time to go on a hunger strike.

      All of this actually makes me not want to eat. Which is probably just as bad if not worse. Missed my protein and water goals yesterday. Part of me just wants to shut down for a week or four years or whatever.

  3. Two milestones in the same week! First Wonderland now I'm just considered "overweight". Woot! Also, apples are awesome. I missed them so, so much.

      Of all the fruit I've tried (which to be honest, hasn't been that many) apples seem to do the best for me. I can eat a whole small one, as long as I peel it first. Tried it once with the peel and that didn't go too well. Honestly that surprised me at first, thought the fruit sugar might be too much. But my doctor says I've been doing well and it was time for me to start eating some fruit again. I try to have one every other day.

  4. Fun fact: Wine is apparently now on the post op liquid diet! Who knew?

      If we can have wine, do you think tequila is okay? I have a half bottle on the counter and I ~am~ a little behind on fluids today. (Don't worry, I'll get the rest in by bedtime. ;))

  5. Newbies encouraging newbies to cheat on their post op diet. AWESOME.

      Some of these posts have me seriously facepalming. I'm not an expert, but I'd like to think my team is, or at least they know a lot more than I do, which is why I listen to the plans they give me, even though I'm pissed the *bleep* off about them not agreeing with me on my need of coffee (with lots of skim milk and stevia) in the mornings. C'mon. I'm a student. I require it. Lol.

  6. Kind of hard to believe I'm only four days away from one month post-surgery. I'm feeling good and my mindset has been positive. Just working on the mental and behavioral changes!

  7. Picked up the two most gorgeous apples at the store today. I got moved on to fruit (and lunchmeat) a little over a week ago. I've been too afraid to try it until now. Going to peel them (which is a shame because I love the skin, but I've seen so many of you comment on issues with the skin) and split it with my other half. Mmmmm apples.

      @High functioning fat man I am bit nervous about the sugar. My NUT said I could have 1 serving of fruit a day and that an apple the size of my fist would be one. I don't even want to try and eat the whole thing.

      Y'all have me cracking up here. Not sure my other half would appreciate me spitting chunks of apple at him. I definitely know I wouldn't be happy about cleaning up the mess. ;)

  9. There was a big fight at the seafood restaurant.... three fish got battered.

      I wasn't going to make a fish pun. But then I decided to do it for the halibut. If you can think of something better, let minnow.

  10. Leftover spaghetti squash and turkey meatballs thrown into into a delicious beef and tomato broth makes one of the best easy and amazingly yummy soups I've ever made! I don't know what smells better, my soup or the garlic chicken and red potatoes baking in the oven. ^_^

  11. (Sorry tmi). I need to find out where/when I ate that dead body.. because what is coming out of my other end sure smells like it. I would like to thank my digestive track for holding in those monstrosities until after I got out of class today. That would have been hella awkward.

      I've uh.. had to throw a few pairs away.. which is well.. unfortunate? I'm out in the country and there is exactly one gas station on the way between my place and school and they don't have a public restroom. Thankfully that is only a 10 minute drive. Lol.

  12. Had a bit of a scare this morning. Woke up and immediately could tell my sugars were low. Checked it - 41. I have never seen it do that before. 3 glucose tablets later and I was back up to 80. I was completely freaked out over it. My doctor is out of town for at least another week so hopefully I can find someone in the office tomorrow.

      This happened before a few weeks ago. My numbers kept dipping lower and lower so the doctor lowered me from 70-60 (not 50 - typo just realized this).

      My carbs have been staying steady. I stick at around 15-20 carbs a day. I think my insulin is just way too high for those numbers (50 units of Humalin) still and my doctor has been lowering it way too slowly. I didn't get much sleep last night so took a bit of a nap. Woke up in a dripping sweat. Came out and it was back down to 39. With all the tablets I had to consume today I am well over my target so now I'm worried about setting off a chain reaction. Either way, my doctor's office is getting a phone call first thing tomorrow morning.
