and…

June 10, 2010 – 9:40 am

And I don’t have cervical cancer either. Damn, I am so boring. No cancer, no brain tumors! My diabetes is under “superb” control per Dr. G&P. Nothing to complain about there! I have suddenly developed absurdly high LDL (bad) cholesterol for no apparent reason. Dr. G&P says it’s not my diet (the LDL has been [...]

so…

May 29, 2010 – 9:23 am

I know I haven’t been updating much lately and some people have let me know they’re concerned about that. I’m sorry. I don’t mean to worry anyone. Sometimes it seems I’m just talking to myself and I don’t think about the friends that drop by and wonder why I’ve stopped talking to myself. It’s been [...]

is that a wow moment?

February 3, 2010 – 12:09 am

We have this thing in group called “wow moments” in which we talk about something that has been exceptional or has made us say “wow” since having the weight loss surgery. I’ve had a lot of them including things like shrinking out of old clothes that were formerly too tight and having to keep adjusting [...]

happy d-blog day

November 9, 2009 – 8:49 pm

It’s almost the end of d-blog day but happy d-blog day anyway. I hardly feel like a diabetes blogger these days though it still plays an important role in my life. Losing weight has made a huge difference for me. I need a little help from metformin to help my body use the insulin it [...]

a couple quick stories

October 10, 2009 – 11:11 pm

First, this has been another strange week. Some things I have control over, some things I don’t. And some things had unintended consequences. I had some thoughts over the weekend and decided I wanted to try going off the HCTZ. I can’t even remember when I started this medication but I think it was in [...]

new day

September 25, 2009 – 11:08 am

This has been an interesting week as far as the lap-band and food plan are concerned. Since I had my little epiphany, getting things back on track has been relatively easy. I also had a small fill on Tuesday. It seems that though I had not lost much weight, I was already pretty loose again. [...]

we are diabetic if you please…

September 9, 2009 – 7:27 pm

we are diabetic if you don’t please…. Just when I was congratulating myself on not giving in to the impulse to eat when I wasn’t hungry…suddenly I find myself drenched in sweat and yet, feeling chilled. Am I getting sick? I go to check my temperature but I just ate a sugar free popsicle, not [...]

forever and managing things

September 3, 2009 – 9:52 am

I seem to be learning from really paying attention to what I’m eating and when. Not all of what I’m learning is new – but sometimes it takes me many repetitions before I learn whatever I’m supposed to learn. Last night, I reinforced the lesson that microwave pizza is not my best choice. It is [...]

so, how am I doing?

August 6, 2009 – 9:17 am

I think it’s been a while since I’ve written about my progress on my lap-band and goals. Last month was not a very good month. With all the stress surrounding Mom, I ate badly. In some ways, not so far off plan. It’s strange to look at a “bad” day and compare it with a [...]

row, row, row your boat

June 24, 2009 – 11:32 am

Yesterday was my day of running around Springfield doing the doctor thing. I walked (with my pretty pink walker) to all my appointments but I admit that if I hadn’t been being stubborn I would have used the chair by the time I got to the last one. Things went pretty much as expected with [...]
