Last night was my last dose of insulin! I am to keep checking blood sugars a couple of times a day, and see how they do, and if they stay in the right range, then I don't need to take anymore!!!! YA-HOO!!!! Am I excited? You bet I am! THIS is what I was hoping for! This is the reason for the surgery! To improve my health!!! This makes it all worth it! For sure!!
I need to work on getting more protein into me. We are to aim for 65 grams of protein a day, and I am still around 30-35 grams! So trying to bump it up! Calories in time will work up to 600-800 a day, and I am around 250-300 a day now. Ha... it's been a LONG time since someone has told me.. "Oh, you need to eat more!" Ok... probably that has NEVER happened before! =)
I am enjoying my independence again. Feels good to be able to take care of the family household business again. Ran some errands today. Banking, a few groceries, Ben's afterschool activities and then home and made supper! Yes, back into the loop!
All for tonight. Love ya all... Eydie
