7 weeks now

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I cannot believe it has been 7 weeks today! October flew by. I

would love to see how some more of my littermates are doing. I am

still doing well. I am still seeing improvement in my blood sugars and

nighttime neuropathy. I have had a long trend of fasting blood

sugars in the low 120's which i am thrilled about. Not cured yet, but

couldn't be happier at this point.

I had an almost 3 week plateau that just broke and the last 3 days I

have lost a pound a day! So now its a total of 42 lbs. I am

beginning to really feel the difference in my body and in the way my

old snug clothes are fitting. No more red marks from my bras LOL.

I still prefer soft foods, veggies, soups and juices. I am also

still struggling at times with the disappointment after eating. The

thrill is gone!! I am so glad to be free, but still grieving for that

high at times. I need to start getting my serotonin highs from

exercise I guess.

Looking forward to the future with hope and anticipation and

gratitude.

Also, I liked the responses to our new friend ( Vi?) searching for

info on the risks and the " truth " . Thanks Donna for remembering the

6 weeks of my life I spent researching this with my dad (the medical

prof) and my hubby. I had stomach aches at that time wondering how

LT was going to flame or twist what I found and posted that time.

My doctor is thrilled with how I am doing and told me not to come

back until month 6. He has never said that before. I was always in

there checking on something! I feel he trusts it and thinks I will

just get healthier:)
