Day 5 after Surgery

First, I go back to work today and it will be a long day.  Have a meeting to plan out June after school today.

Second, I did go to dog agility.  Drive didn’t bother me at all, I did only do 1 1/2 classes, primarily because Maggie was very frustrated that I wasn’t moving faster.  I walked and the dogs ran the courses. 

Stopped at favorite Mexican place on the way home and got chicken and tortilla soup without chicken or tortilla and just sipped the liquid.  It was VERY good and still a clear liquid.  I needed the change in flavor. 

Still losing weight – down 10 pounds since the surgery and my TDD (total daily dosage) of insuiln is still low – 16 units yesterday.

Today and tomorrow I’ll still be on clear liquids and I see the surgeon post-op tomorrow.

I think I’m to add to my posts each day rather than start a new one. So far, I’ve made it through 1st period and believe me, I’m always busy before school, today I need to run around and test some of the wireless. Will get the rest at lunch

Some notes about lab band. I am still diabetic. My insulin needs are way down. I also still have gastric reflux but it’s better without any real food in my system, but I can’t do the clear liquid thing permanently. It would drive me insane. I also am pretty sure I still have sleep apnea. I’ll let you know in a few months how I am doing though, maybe the above will change.

Oh, and I’ve done some math — I’ve lost 24 pounds from my heaviest

 

Made it through my first day — tested the wireless in the front half of the building (auditorium works, front office doesn’t, but did later).  Lots of tech requests, lots of end of year issues to deal with.  At "lunch" I went to the library –farthest place from my room – and tested wireless on the way).  So got some walking in.

Did the afterschool meeting and I was the second lead for it, so I had to be on.

Got home, relaxed a bit and did 20 minutes on the treadmill.  Now trying to turn the brain off, wish I had the hot tub — can’t for a few more weeks.
