Just woke up on morning 3. My scale shows I’ve lost 7 pounds since the morning of surgery. I don’t always believe my scale, it has lied lately. However, my blood sugar is 90 this morning and I had to switch back to the surgery basal rate last night. My TDD is dropping and has been in the low thirties the past few days. <\/p>\n
At lot of the reason my weight and TDD is so low is what I am eating. I’m not. For each “meal” yesterday, I had broth, a protein bullet, and jello. I’ve gotten some juice and some popscyles so I don’t have to worry about going low but that isn’t working. I’m supposed to be on clear liquids for a week but I’m finding that managing my blood sugar is a bit difficult on them. <\/p>\n
I’ve got an email out to the TLC case manager, and I may call my doctor’s office later in the day to see if I can go ahead and add SlimFast so my blood sugar will be easier to manage. <\/p>\n
So my progress — walked 30 minutes on the treadmill in 7 1\/2 minutes, 7 1\/2 minutes and 15 minutes. <\/p>\n
Lost 8 pounds since surgery date and over 20 pounds total.<\/p>\n
TDD in the high 30s. <\/p>\n
My incisions look really good and I’ve had my second shower. <\/p>\n
More:<\/p>\n
I did make three trips yesterday — two to Kroger’s to get things I was out of or just wanted and one to Office Depot to get wheels for Tuesday (I using a rolling box to get things back and forth).<\/p>\n
I also made a trip to Walgreen’s today and returned the children’s liquid Tylenol which the doctor recommended. Adult liquid is much better and cheaper. I also picked up liquid Centrum today and took a dose.<\/p>\n
I’m learning to manage the blood sugar, if it goes to low, I’m turning on the temp basal to -50% and leaving it on the surgery basal rate. I’m planning on walking later, so I have it on %50 now — and my blood sugar was at 146 around 11:00 am.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
