(Let's call it) 5 days post-op

Packing to travel and a full schedule the rest of the day, so I'd better bang this out now.

...and a new thing - a blog. You can follow the continuing saga in blog form. Swell.

Available via my profile, I assume.

350 this morning. Net -5.2 pounds in 24 hours (-33 since May 9). Don't know whether to be thrilled or freaked. It sorta sucks being hungry all the time.

Something I am a little perplexed by is my sugar numbers.

I was taken off insulin on surgery day and was told to expect scary numbers 12 - 18 hours post-op (they went from mid-90s to 210s).

Since then, all over the place (120s-150s). I was advised not to even think about returning to insulin until, at least, my 10-day post-op check up.

Anybody got a more enlightened viewpoint (other than my clueless spitballing)?

Off to the home town. As always, thanks.
