This week 136.2

I have been ill for a while with COVID. This is my third time with COVID. It was horrible, and hubby thought he would was going to have to take me to the hospital. I'm better now, but dealing with sinus issues thanks to ragweed.

My son is in Western North Carolina, so I've been stressed about that. Thankfully, FEMA is there now so they have access to water. Still no power or water at their home. There's still no way in or out.

Keep healing. And stressing yourself over your son isn’t helping you. Although I totally understand. We have family scattered all over that area. Thankfully we’ve heard from most of them. Other than being bored silly from no power, no internet, no water, they’re doing okay. We still have one MIA.

Where in NC may I ask? My husband has a cousin in Chandler northwest of Asheville, whose mom is in a memory care facility. Another up on a small place called Paw Paw just outside of Marshall, NC, a few in Rutherfordton who are doing okay. A cousin in Mauldin, just south of Greenville, SC. She’s been super bored! Lost her phone in the house for four days. A bunch in Kona, NC which is in Mitchell County, that’s the home place of many of husband’s family. The one MIA had moved to Black Mountain.

We use to live in a small town just inside of N.C. where I26 crosses from Spartanburg to Asheville, town called Tryon. We have lots of friends there.

My son and his partner are in Asheville. Luckily, their house is on a hill, so no flooding. He works at Mission Hospital, and his partner works at a clinic in town, so they've both still had to go to work. My son complained about not being able to play video games.

First world problems! His job was critical. But he’ll live without the games for a few days.

Sorry about the COVID and sinus issues - hoping you find relief from boht. Also, hoping that your son will have power soon.

So, about that...

I fell in the classroom on Tuesday and broke my ankle.

 

[JackieOnLine]

oh, wow, so sorry to hear it!

Almost time for the next weigh in…

9/15/24
139.5 pounds

9/22/24
139.2 pounds

9/29/24
136.1 pounds

I lost 3.1 pounds on 1 week. Which would explain my dizziness and lightheadedness recently.

I spoke to my cardiologist on 10/1 and he wants me to monitor my BP and make sure to take my meds to raise my BP and we will meet again in 2 weeks. If I still feel the same, he will want me to resume medication that I was taking before.

Unfortunately, I have lost 10 pounds since my cardiologist told me not lose more weight. (7/30/24)

I have an appointment with my bariactric nutritionist on Monday. I have been trying to eat foods to allow me to maintain or gain but it is not working.

But, also, my father in law is actively dying and is on hospice since 8/30/24.

I have been his primary caregiver. I have been living at home since 8/30/24. My husband relieves me from Saturday morning to Sunday more.

Last weekend was brutal. My father in law was verbally abusive to my husband. Hallucinating.

Lack of sleep is getting to me.

Lack of sleep will mess with so much. You need to wander down the carb rabbit hole while avoiding upsetting the gut, and it is a balancing act. We’ve all had different methods. While I prefer extra veggies and starches, I’ve been known to resort to fruit and candy.

Another thing to consider is bounce back. Many if not most of us hit a low point about 18-24 months post op, then regain about 15-25 lbs back without trying. I know I did.
