Still working with the Dr. and Nutritionist
Dec 31, 2006
Well, I stayed on the 1500 calorie diet. I lost 3 pounds. When I went to see my doctor in November, she wanted to try changing my medications. So, I am now on my second month of Byetta - and off the Amaryl. I was told that the Amaryl can make you gain weight and make it hard to lose weight. Boy is that right. My first 3 days on Byetta, I went down pounds. I am now down to 252 from the 262, that I started at. That's 10 pounds that I have faught very hard to loose. In January I have my final appointment with the Nutritionist and a follow up in February with her to see how I'm doing - after my doctor's appointment. I know that I will not be able to afford surgery this year. The doctor wants me to try the medicine/Byetta for 6 months - to see what it does for me. I guess I'll give her that, being she is willing to be my doctor advocate as long as I try this - since the strict diets were not working.

Well, just came on to update and I love what they have done to the website.
Well, Officially day 4 of the 1500 calorie diet and it seems to be going -> ok. We'll see what it does this go around. If 1500 will get me down and not gain weight like the 1700 did.
Still haven't filled out the paperwork.... I think it's because I can't find the "Private" time to do it. I'm worried that if I start - then I'll be interupted by the kids.... and if you are a mother or father of small children ..... you know that a 4 year old and a 2 year old take a lot of your time and attention. I've talked to my husband about giving me some down time... but he's been doing so much overtime at work that when he's home, I feel guilty for having to ask him to do anything that would be considered work for him.
I'm missing my cat - Spitz - she passed away on October 9th - she was 14 years old. My daughter cried when she realized that Spitz was not going to be able to sleep with her....... which this was compounded by the fact of the passing of our family friend on October 8th.
I took my father to the Viewing on the 10th and the funeral on the 11th. It was not easy. When my mother was killed we were not able to have an open casket. So, the finality of her death - for me - had never been complete. I know this is the same for my brothers. My father did not, nor does he have this issue - he saw the whole thing........ So, when we went to the veiwing and the funeral service - it helped with some closure for my mother.
I took my Father on the 12th to go and visit my brother - who is incarcerated.... My father had to tell him of Linda's death. I didn't know how he would take it or how my father would handle himself having to tell him... my brother seemed truly affected by the news and dad almost broke down when he told him... my brother has always bad mouthed Linda - to take away attention from all the things that he has done and did. Then I got to talk with him and I told him that I haven't let his niece know that he's back in jail and that Spitz had died. Asked him how the accomadations were at this facility versus where he had been before and he said, "This is the best one that I've been in." HOW WARPED IS THAT!??!??!
Well, I'm going to go - I've got to go do the mom thing and get kids ready for bed.... until later.
