 Not having to much of a prob being head hungry lately..been trying to keeep busy...

cross your fingers.... ;o)

Tomorrow is my 2 week check up.  Im excited to get the staples removed and see how much i have "officially" lost Im expecting around 25lbs.  give or take...  I ahve been doing relaly well with food tolerances... such as milk and smaller things...  like a craker and such..  I have to remind my self though often about how much i can actually eat.   My mind is still thinking big while my  stomach says another thing....
I did my first "out of town" trip this past week.. did really good stuck to soups and brought my own pudding and yogurt snacks.. And i really have to kick my self in the butt on the protein thing...  ugh...  
I have one supplement i like and its fruity flavored so i put it on my yogurt...  But in anything else...yuck.   I have to figure oiut a way to carry the protein supplement with me though...  so i dont forget it...

Egg beaters are realy good scrambled and I like to make up some egg salad and a few crackers... Im still on pureed food... so maybe after he 2 weeks i can try the real stuff...  but other wise feeling great i am gaining strenght and energy everyday.. trying to get my mile and halg walk in everyday too...
Plus by the way i am offically a paramedic!!  I just took my last test lastnight...  Im so excited...  now in a few months ill be a hot paramedic..lol.... 

Well still a little sore.  But moving more and more.  Switched to liquid tylenol and leaving the liquid hard stuff for at night as needed.  But my BP i am monitoring daily along with Fasting Blood sugars.  But im wondering if it normal to have a spike in Blood sugars.  I normally havent had a problem with my actual sugar readings i usually take the meds for the insulin resistance.  Usually my insulin levels are out of wack not my blood sugars.  
I think ill post on one of thses boards to find out if its happened to anyother.    
Im sticking to my full liquids really well...  having a hard time though missing food.  I guess i didnt realize how much of my life it was....  I cant wait till the soreness is gone so i can get out and workout.  That will help occupy the hands and mouth...   right now this hanging around the house with the family is hard...  But i can make it my determination is greater then this....

BP was 114/76   and FBS 85   BS after dinnner  (vegitable soup) 164....
