It has been over FOUR months. I had my surgery back in December. I still have one stubborn incision that is still bleeding. I moved a little too much this morning and I broke myself again. That (now) little incision started bleeding again. However, overall I do feel stronger :)
I have been very good; listening to my doctor with my low-carb diet (for my insulin level). It's tough as I Love food. I started back in October last year. I did ok even during the holidays... until ... around the new year. I "re-started" the diet again last month. That's 2 weeks NO-carb, no fruit, no dairy, no nothing.... I did it! Now, it's the fun part, adding carbs back into my diet. Only the Good carbs and I have to keep it around 15 - 20g per meal. What happens if I go over? My head will scream at me in just a few minutes after I "cheat". This time around, I'm doing much better. I am adding good carbs back slowly. I even started exploring all different new ways to cook.
Possible side effect for low carb diet: decrease dining out, increase trips to farmers market, decrease body weight (my dr had to ask me to gain some back; i'm at the ok weight now), decrease sluggish feeling after eating; .......start to love yourself / your life....

Aww, Kerry, you know that even with all that trouble with your surgery you sound so positive! You're optimistic! I love it. And I love that last line you wrote. :-)
I need to take better care of my blood sugar for sure. Maybe I'll bug you about your diet so you can help me do it, too.
We miss and love you!!
Weekend blog hopping and so sorry to hear that you are popping open. Ouch
Wow, only 15-20g per meal. That is lower than the recommended for women (30-35g). Good luck and I like your last line too.
