update

I went to see my PCP to weigh in. As per his scales I'm down 34 pounds in 3 weeks. I put a tape measure around my upper belly, below my mammary glands and just at the top of my incision. When I came home from the operation it was 60 inches. Today it's 56 inches. Down 4 inches in 3 weeks. The cold helps some as I don't want to eat and cannot hold as much as I should. Who likes Vegetable juice and or tomato juice? It stays down good for me. I have noticed that since Dayna said I could eat carbs, my sugars have gone up to the 200 to 240 range. They will come down though as I lose more weight. I still have to remember to pace myself and slow down my eating and drinking. On the way home from Newport today I was drinking some water. Then I had to cough, which then I spit up and then barfed up the water I had just drank. I had to pull over real quick and grab some tissues to clean up the mess. Ho Hum, spring is coming. There are always better things to think about. Hugs Ron

Congrats on your weight loss Ron.. you are doing great! ~Heather

You are doing wonderful! Congrats! I used to barf up water all the time when I drank it to fast, still do now and then. Just another one of those things we learn to watch for. Last night I must have tried drinking water to soon after I ate, I thought I was going to lose it all, but I just sat quiet and let the burps happen. Spring???? I want spring!!! Theresa

Hi Ron, I am happy to hear you are doing so well! I don't know if you were at a meeting when I was once...there was this guy who was drinking alot of V8...it slowed his weight loss considerably because of the calories. Maybe ask Dayna how much per day would be ok for you. Sorry to hear about the barfing. Must not be too fun Can't wait for spring myself! I need some sun! Casey
