Bummer 'cause I really liked the endo a lot. Whipple "stuff" is up at KUMed and I could go up there but it's about 3 hours up the road, and hoping to find a good one closer, and you are right-in very short supply. I understand there is an excellent one only about an hour away--reestablishing is such a pain!

Wedding was great and the bride and bride made such a lovely couple. I love weddings because in the ceremony my own, even after so many years, is memorialized-

My biyearly check up is in a few weeks so giving it till then and take PCPs recommendation.

Feeling pretty much ok and no, I really don't know just the calories are. I'm eating when ever and what ever I want to and as much as will fit. Pancreas is totally fickle and constantly changes what it will tolerate. It seems like I'm getting enough but maybe I have been over distracted and not paying enough attention. I see more popcorn in my immediate future!

Did your endocrinologist leave his patients to another doctor or have any recommendations for who you could switch to? I know endocrinologists are in very short supply!

I agree with the others, warrants getting checked out! Hopefully you won't have a long wait! Have fun at the wedding!

Official last day is June 2nd but he will probably have enough vacation to be done mid April!

Yes, I've heard predictions that this is going to be a real winter! We can do this! When does your DH retire?

Hmmm, you held your weight for 1 month, and then it started dropping again... You were in the middle of moving, so that could account for the drop, but it continues. Yes, this is something that needs investigating. How do you feel? Do you have a ballpark idea of how many calories you're eating? If you're not eating in the low range, but rather a normal range, and still losing then that's more cause for concern. But maybe you are eating less than you know, and with all the extra physical work and distractions of moving calories dropped off?
