Week 5 post-op

??3.0 lbs., 3 lbs. this week, 35 lbs. total!

I'm just pausing a minute to take in that I've lost 35 lbs. in 7 weeks (or so). It's really amazing! I'm down a size in clothes so if you know somebody deserving that needs size 22's let me know.

I had an appointment with my primary care physician last week and everything is going very well as far as my blood sugar is going. Every time I think to test it (which isn't too often because it feels so much better) its around 100, which is so much better than the 140-180 readings that I used to get Pre-op. Yea!

I went out to eat 3 times last week as well. I did an Arby's Ham, Egg & Swiss Croissant which involved cutting it in half and eating the middle out of it. The egg got stuck again so I took that out and managed about 5-6 bites of the thing. I had to laugh at the guy who took my order when that was all I ordered, "What nothing to eat or drink?" I guess I'll get used to it eventually but I'm a 2 things on my plate person...

Then my daughter and I did Qdobas for lunch where they let me order from the kids menu with no hassle at all. I got a burrito bowl with a tiny bit of rice, black beans, mild salsa, chicken, cheese and sour cream. With a side of their very awesome chips (love the lime flavor of them). I had maybe 5 bites! What I enjoyed best was when I stole a couple of swipes of the queso sauce on Amy's nachos.

Then Saturday my two friends from an old job and I met for our monthly "breakfast club". They were kind enough to let me pick the restaurant and time. So I had been jonesing for Cracker Barrel's eggs in a basket. So that's where we went. Again, the waitress was very accommodating with my 1/2 order and the food was delicious! Plus I really enjoyed the company I was with. None of us work at the previous business any more and it's great how we've moved on and they're just a postscript in our conversation.

My hubby N tried to go back to work last Wednesday with mixed success. He ended up having to leave early two days out of the three. And slept Saturday about 18 hours! I told him that I thought it was too early...but he's back there today.

Gotta run, have a dental cleaning appt in a bit. Fun! Ugh!

Take care,
