My weight is up to 164.4 this morning. I haven't eat anything this morning. I will try to eat just 2 meals today. DH is cooking catfish today and I'll have my salad, asparagus and try a few bites of cream style corn and see how it affects my stomach. About 4 or 5 hrs later I will have an egg Mcmuffin. I would really like to get back to just eating 2MAD.

Carol Sue DH and I both take a liquid B12 we get from Amazon that you put under the tongue. The problem is we don't remember to take it everyday. DH is cooking today so I'm going to take a short nap until he gets ready to cook. I went to bed late so got up late. Now after reading all morning, I made myself sleepy.

I need new B12_ because the sub lingual I'm taking is old and might be useless. There are 2 kinds and online it says to take the one that starts with N not C. I will check on Amazon for the one you take.it says under the tongue is almost as good as the shots. The regular pills might not get absorbed properly. My friend told me I might be tired because I stopped taking it. Lots of choices on Amazon. Which one do you take and how many mg per dose?

DH checked our registrations. One expired so I did a renewal online. The other one was current but we didn't have the form in the car. I printed A new one. He has to check his hot rod. It is covered up and he rarely drives it but it is loud so there's a good chance he could get stopped. Maybe he doesn't have to renew it because its considered an antique.

I ended up with a very good eating day with 2 meals within 4 1/2 hrs eating window. Calories were within 1400 if I can trust MFP. I did have a bit of a potty issue and it might have been the small amount of corn or it could be some supplement that I am taking. I've cut back on some of them already and may need to cut back some other.

I am so proud of myself for having a good day.

Weight back down to 162.8 lbs. I had potty issues yesterday and I'm sure that helped besides I only ate 2 meals. I found out that the statin causes diarrhea and so does the beet chewable I was taking to lower my bp. So I took them out of my pills. I won't be trying them again. Maybe the fruit isn't a problem after all, but I won't try eating them again any time soon. I mainly want to stay hydrated for my lab and C T Scan tomorrow.

I am fasting again this morning. I notice DH took out pork chops for today. I will eat at 3ish and then have breakfast for supper about 4 hrs later. So I'm back on track. Praying for good news tomorrow... no more protein in urine and praying this will be the time of no more cancer. One of these days it will happen, in God's timing.

Hope you feel better today Carol Sue. I worry about you when you don't write. I pray you didn't have to go to the hospital.

Have a nice day everybody.

I have been locked out of the forum for the past 2 days. I finally got on my PC instead of the tablet and reset my password. I can't actually reset to an acceptable password, but I wrote down the temporary an hope to not lose it. I'm on my PC right now but hope to be able to get in on my tablet again.

I haven't been weighing at all so I have nothing to report. I don't think I actually overate, but calories have been 1300-1500 and that's more than I can eat to lose. You are doing well, Trish. I never noticed that my statin causes Potty Issues but I'm probably on a different one than you. So many different things can cause it.

Step Daughter made corned beef and cabbage and gave me some. DH won't eat it. He won't even try it, but I saw recipes online for making it at it's so easy, I think I will make it next year and maybe hw will try it. He eats other corned beef. There's something about him, that he doesnt like to eat food that she makes and gives us. When she asks, he always says no, but I told her I wanted to try this. She is a pretty good cook and makes a lot of different things that we don't cook, but that's because her husband eats most things. He is not picky, but he can't eat pork or ham because of his gout. He doesnt take the meds like I take. I can eat anything and the gout doesn't bother me. I don't know why he doesn't take the meds. My brother in law had terrible gout but he didn't take the meds either. I know he never went to a doctor, but I think my son in law does. Not sure.

OK, so I am going to go try out my tablet to see if I can get logged in.

BBL.

I cant log in on my tablet. I continue to get the same error message and i dont know how to get rid of it. I am able to log in on my small tablet that i take to the casino but i dont want to use the little one on a daily basis. I will continue to figure out whats wrong on the other one. I hate this!

I just logged in on my tablet. Yay!

I did get on the scale. Still 177, so not that bad.

We went to Walmart but I didn't have a list so I forgot potatoes,onions and mushrooms. We might go to the local grocery tomorrow or Aldi's. We stopped at Wendys so DH could get a hamburger and fries and I got a crispy chicken sandwich and a Frosty. We stopped at Goodwill for senior day. A young guy who works there always forgets to give us our senior discount so now I remind him. He says we don't look old enough. Ha Ha. Im 78 and DH is 81.

I'm glad you were able to get on here on the tablet. Hope it keeps working.

It was cold today and we got out so early and I was freezing especially when I had to drink the stuff for the CT Scan. I warmed up a tad just before I had to have the scan. I tell you, that stuff made me pee like crazy. I wasn't able to go into the store with DH on the way home. We got LJ Silvers fish on the way home and it was too greasy for me and it made me sick at my stomach. I'm just beginning to feel like myself again. I need to eat a bite of something so I can take my pills. I also have to keep checking the portal to see if my urine test is okay. I'm hoping it is normal so I can have my infusion Friday. It would be nicer if my CT scan shows no cancer and I might not have to have any more infusions.

Have a nice evening. I've slept most of the time since dinner and may sleep again this evening.

We haven't had LJS for a few years since they closed ours. There are 2 others but they are a drive in a very high traffic area so we never go there. Maybe if we are out there for another reason we will stop. We miss it, but might not like it anymore. We go that way when DH buys his tomato plants so maybe then. That will be in early May.


Hope your test results are good.

I am so glad I can post from my tablet again.

Hi gang: just a quick pop in. My surgery is in a week! I was over 180 again last time I weighed. I ate off plan for 2 of the last 3 days, so will wait until the end of the week to weigh again. After water walking today, most of our group went to brunch. We had a great time, and that was my main meal of the day, having eggs Benedict (GF of course) with a fruit bowl and some hash browns. What a nice treat.
When I got home, since I was full, I started cooking. I made a pot of chilli and two pots of soup. Getting ready to have good food on hand for the first bit of life post op. DH can just reheat stuff for me. Im all tuckered out now. Just had a bowl for chicken and veg soup for supper after my big brunch.
It's a busy week with pre-op stuff going on.

Carol Sue The last time I was locked out of 3fc, I just continued using the password they gave me. I wrote it down hoping I will never have another problem with it.

Fatmad I know you will be glad to get your surgery done. I will keep you in my prayers that sll will go well. My DS gets a special shot that they make up for her using something from her own system. She has to lose quite a bit of weight before the doctor's here will operate on her. Be sure to let us know when your surgery takes place so we can pray for you.

My weight was the same as yesterday. Because I was sick at my stomach, I didn't eat much today. In fact, I just tracked my calories on MFP and I ate a total of 1011 calories today. I have been skipping breakfast since Saturday or Sunday. I hope I can fast tomorrow so I can stay on 4 or 5 hr eating window and just count calories. Didn't exercise much today but will get back to that tomorrow and do Monday thru Friday. Even if I get to have the infusion, I can do some exercises before I leave and do the rest when I get home. If I can't do the infusion Friday if I have to do the 24 hf urine test so I will see if I can do it Tuesday or Wednesday since I have Lab next Monday with Primary and see him the following week.

DH insisted I take something for the headache I've had all day so it is beginning to let up. Now we are starting to watch Christian movies of Jesus and the resurrection. Hope I can stay awake to watch this one tonight.

Hope we all rest well tonight. Goodnight.

Scale up to 178 again. Up down, up down. Mad,you and are are fluctuating in the same range. Im looking forward to how you do with recovery. As I may need knee surgery,too. Im not sure what's wrong with mine. In 2008 it was OA and fluid. I haven had it checked since. For years I had no pain, just inflexibility. Now I get occasional pain. I wear a brace and use ointment.

Today I got up at 11:15. DH got up early to put the trash out. I woke up earlier but went back to sleep. I hope the extra sleep helps. Fitbit says 10+ hours. I think I sleep good after he gets up. I used to be the one who got up early, 5-7am. Now I wake up but go back to sleep. I think my body needs it.

Trish, I wish I could keep calories around 1100. I think I would lose. I have to figure out why I'm eating 200-300 extra calories. My breakfast hasn't changed. Yesterday my chicken sandwich was very good. It is a small sandwich from their Value Menu. Afterwards I wanted another one but we were home. If I knew when we were ordering I would have bought 2,_ but I really don't need 2, but it was very tasty. It used to be $1 now its $1.29. I should try the chicken sandwich at McDonalds because then there would be something for me to order when DH stops there. I don't like any fast food hamburgers and I no longer like Nuggets. When he gets McDonalds I just eat something from home.

I read about Metformin vs Berberine. Metformin has many amazing benefits. Berber one has some similar benefits but the cost difference would be one issue, and the articles I read said that Berberine could also cause potty issues and can also block absorption of B12. So I don't think I'm going to switch right now. I won't say never.

Im getting more than half of daily requirement in the eggs I eat. Until recently I felt that I got a lot of energy after eating eggs. I rarely ate anything else for breakfast, and eggs have a lot of other nutrients,but not helpful if Metformin is blocking it. The Metformin might now be blocking the B12 so I need to find a solution. I know I need the Metformin. I will continue to look for a supplement. Im not sure about drops. I have a hard time regulating how many drops come out. I would prefer sublingual tablets but many of them are the wrong kind starting with C instead of M. One doctor wrote that he was treating his patients with shots that contained C. He switched them to tablets that were M and they showed improvement. All the sublingual at Walmart are C. My bottle doesn't say which it is. My fatigue could also be caused by stopping Vit D. I ran out and didn't buy more. I get very little sun as PA is very gloomy with little sunshine plus I don't spend much time outside. I need to find a suitable B12 and order it along with D. Or I could just continue to sit in my recliner all day.

At rhe casino. I cant sit in the food court because the ladies room is closed. So i'm in rhe hall beside the other ladies room. Rhere are chairs and a table. No one else here.

Carol Sue I'm glad you finally got the sleep you needed. Maybe you will start feeling better and have more energy. I have days when I need a little more sleep than others. I've learned to take the time to rest when that happens.

I am also glad you found a difference place to sit and read at the casino. Is this the old casino that is further from where y'all live or closer. Either way, I am glad you found a good place to read.

I'm doing the 24 hr urine test again. I called and got the go ahead to start it today so we can get it in the clinic by noonish hoping they get the results in time for them to get the results so I can still get the infusion Friday. I have an appointment with my oncologist Friday to get the results of my CT Scan. I will go for that hoping they will have the results of my 24 hr urine rest in time to get rhe infusion. If not they suggested I go eat and then come back for the infusion that afternoon.

I did good today with eating too. I ate 1277 calories today although I did do my eating within 7 hrs. Weight was down to 162.2 lbs. this morning. Only down .6 lbs but down is down. A lot of my changes in my lab work means that I was not eating too much protein. Instead, I think I was eating at least the amount that I needed because my platelets and hemoglobin was getting better, but 3 weeks of eating less protein, I find that I need to eat the amount of protein I was eating if I want to improve my labs. Still don't know what to do to improve the protein in the urine, but I trust the oncologist will have to decide what to do about that.

Hiope your day at the casino goes well. Goodnight.
