I managed to keep down some chicken soup last night and slept all night without waking up.<\/p>\n
My plan today is to slowly introduce solid food. Physically I feel much better, which verifies my food poisoning guess.<\/p>\n
Really good news: My weight is down 10 pounds since my last fill. Do I believe I'll stay that low? No, and I also don't recommend losing weight this way. However, if I can just gain three pounds I'll be happy. That would mean that I had lost 35 pounds. <\/p>\n
So I'm starting with peppermint tea and slowly adding more solid food.<\/p>\n
I also don't recommend this as a way to start Christmas.<\/p>\n
And am important reminder to me, watch my blood sugar as my TTD is down. My morning blood sugar was 110, which is the lowest I've seen in ages. Yesterday my TTD was 58, and it was 65 the day before. I think the safest thing and best way to keep any weight off is to up my carb and corection ratios by 1.<\/p>\n
This is something I've learned losing weight before — insulin and your body wants you to maintain your weight — if you keep your basal rates the same, you end up having some lows, and you have to eat food to get over them. It's better to run slightly high (not massively, like I have been since surgery), than to have to deal with the lows.<\/p>\n
It's a balancing act, because if you keep the blood sugar too high, you crave sugar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
