Two more bite the dust!

Two more lbs bite the dust! Actually 2.4 lbs! Woohoo! Ribs still a little bit sore and I'm actually just starting to wear a bra again so that could be why.  Oh well.


I go to my surgeon's consult on Tuesday.  I can't wait!  My appointment is at 1pm.  Paula has to be there at 10:10am.  I may end up running down there early so I can see her.  We'll see.  


I'm feeling pretty good, not as tired as I was so I think my body is adjusting to my consuming less carbs.  My actually weight loss now is 15.4 lbs.  Just a little less than 15 more to go before surgery.  We'll see what they say at the surgeons on Tuesday.  


I have an appointment to see Dr. Diaz on September 1st to go over my lab results.  Definitely looking forward to everything going on.

Still in pain from ribs!I

I can't believe that I'm still in pain from my ribs!  I'm still with the program, still losing weight and still working things out.  I'm eating about 90% less carbs and although its making me more tired, I'm losing weight.  I need to have my body get adjusted to less carbs and then I'll be fine I think.


I've also been out walking around 2 acres of our property nightly on Predator Patrol from 2 to 5 hours every night.  With the number of birds that we've had attacked and killed, I've taken to using the .22 rifle instead of the shotgun.  It has less of a "kick".  


I think the extra exercise is working toward the weight loss.  I lost  lbs in the last week.  Its not alot but its something.  Weight is going down and that's the main thing.


My sleep study was a bust, I fear.  I couldn't sleep all night. I tossed and turned, was awake most of the night.  I think I'm going to have ot do it over again.  I go back to see Dr. Diaz on September 1st. to get the results of all the testing that I've had.


On August 23rd, I go to see Dr. Watson & Hodges office for my first consultation.  It seems as though the time is dragging.  UGH!


Anyway, 1 cup of chili with 1/4 cup monterey jack cheese for dinner.  Yummy.  Protein, protein, protein!!
