She gave me some new things to follow. She took me off my night time pills, which still cause me problems even though I'm only taking 1/4th of a regular dose! She said I was getting such a small dose that it really wasn't worth me taking it and continuing to have to take myself off every 14 days for 2-3 days while my digestive system fixes itself. (Woo-hoo!). She also changed when I check my #'s because she thinks my numbers aren't being accurately reflected. Which means she thinks my numbers may still be higher then what they are showing. :( Some days she wants me to test 4 times a day and the others 2 times a day. She also asked me to fax her my numbers every 2 weeks so she can adjust my meds as needed until we get me completely undercontrol! :)
The best news of the entire visit was when I first got in there and they weighed me and I was down another 6.7lbs!!! That brings my total lose to 20.5lbs!!! I'm so frickin' excited!! I cannot even put it in to words as to how excited I am. Of course I don't feel it, I don't see it, but whatever 'cause the scale says it is true and that is all that matters to me!!!!!!!!!!! :D Can you frickin' believe it?! I still can't! Yes, I've been battling this for a very long time and this was one of my goals when I started this blog back on 2/8/09 and 7+ months later I probably should have lost more, but hey...I will take what I've been given for, thank god for it, pat myself on the back, and be happy! I will also shout from the rooftops that I, j'lynn, have lost 20.5lbs!!!!! Yay me!!
Alright, I went back to work, grabbed a grilled chicken Greek salad and actually did some work for a change. hehe Then on to class and on to home to get ready to do this all again tomorrow. Since I've been home I've gotten caught up on my Soccer Mom duties, emailed the munchkin's teacher since someone else took his book bag home, and participated in a recipe exchange. Now I'm off to wash my face and get my ass to bed...hey, I've got a paper to write tomorrow!
that's great news from the doc!
ReplyDeleteyou go girl!
Thanks Blaez! :D
ReplyDeleteOf course I found a candy bar tonight at the gas station that I've been waiting for since the Heath Ledger film, Dark Knight, came out! Dark Reese's Cups.... Part of me hopes it is as good as I have "dreamed" about and part of me hopes it tastes like shit so I don't continue to "dream" about it. I haven't had a candy bar since at least July 8th. Or not that I can remember. LOL
I've decided not to eat it until tomorrow early in the AM so I can work off the sugar/carbs from it through out the day! LOL I actually bought two, but figure one is for the munchkin...
Congrats on the weight loss! It sounds like the specialist was really helpful. That is a good thing. You are doing so good :)
ReplyDeleteThanks D!! She was really helpful, except my numbers aren't nearly as good as they once were, but since I'm taking them at different times I'm trying to remind myself about that! And that it will take time for me to adjust to that and hopefully she will change something up in a few weeks that will help that too. Thanks...I have to admit, this has been super hard to do. I'm actually amazed by myself though, but I guess I got the shit scared out of me enough this time that it kicked my ass in to movement! LOL
