A quick and incomplete list:
1. Went to the GI doctor for my yearly follow-up. Really, all I wanted was my prescription refilled and we both managed to forget that part. I had to call back later and get them to call it in the pharmacy. She also gave me a months supply of Align samples to try. Apparently, her patients are reporting lots of success with it. So at some point here I will be trying that to see if I can back off on the meds a little. More on that and it’s possible side effects later.
2. GI doctor also decided to test me for Celiac disease. Um. Shouldn’t they have thought of that A YEAR AGO??? This is what happens when you see different medical professionals – even when they are in the same office. I am waiting on the results of that blood test and hopefully will have nothing at all to report about it next week.
3. I am down 7 pounds. I guess the point counting is working. I have made a few changes to my lifestyle – almost no soda at all since I started (and I don’t even miss it!) and except for last week when I was sick and had a really upset stomach, I have not eaten any potatoes. A big difference since I used to have one for lunch every day. I am actually reading my cook books and planning meals and trying to get more of a balance. I have managed to increase veggies a little with a good-for-you soup but no new veggies. Cans of green beans are still the old fall back. One note worthy event – I had a hand full of fresh blueberries this afternoon. YUM! I know, it doesn’t sound like much but I haven’t had them in a long time. And I am eating a little more fresh fruit on the weekends. Last weekend I had half an apple – a big deal for me.
