Trish,I hope your infusion goes well.
Sleep was just ok, but Ive gone 2 days without Benedryl. I hope sleep will get better eventually.
Scale is stuck aat 177.8. I dont know why. I have not been eating vegetables lately. I need to get back to ieating them. I felt better and weight was better when I ate vegetables regularly.
I found something about Allulose and weight loss but I want to reread it to be sure I understand it. Also, I want to look further into it.
Carol Sue Thanks for the link on allulose. I will read it.
Weight this morning up 1 lb, but I had a lot of sodium yesterday. I am trying to have less today. We are having left over BBQ pork ribs for dinner and I won't have the canned pork n beans I had yesterday. So weight was 170.8, FBG 107 which surprised me and bp 124/62.
DH and I watched Dr. Amy last night you YouTube and heard her story. She had Stage 3 ovarian cancer and learned how to eat and exercise and went into remission in 100 days. She has now been cancer free for 8 yrs and helping other cancer patients with their way of living to heal from cancer and hopefully never have cancer again. Protein and antioxidant foods along with exercise seems to be the key. Finally someone who not only had the same diagnosis as I had, but she can also guide me into a better woe for my situation. What a blessing. God is so good. I now know why I crave some of the fruits and veggies that I want that I couldn't have on keto plans out there. I need them to heal. I had what I call a rainbow omelet this morning along with my favorite Mandarin orange for breakfast. No bacon is kind of a change though I will get used to it. I wanted to go to church tomorrow but I'm not physically able at that point as of yet. Hope that changes soon.
Carol Sue I appreciate the link. It evidently is an updated article since the one I read a year or so ago as he had more information. I like the idea of getting the GLP-1 Ozempic effects without spending money for Ozempic. I could easily use it in a cup of green tea before breakfast or lunch. Visceral fat is the fat we really have to worry about. I still have some and I don't like the brand that I have. So I will finish off this package and try a different one. Did you get yours at Amazon or does Walmart carry it.
Well I gained weight this week. I weighed 170.4 last Sunday and tracking on MFP I gained .6 lbs weighing 171 this Morning. FBG 107 same as yesterday and bp 102/60.
Carol Sue I think it is a good idea to use the allulose. I am not sure about the meds and they are too expensive anyway. I like doing things naturally if possible. On my woe I need to drink at least a cup of green tea as a cancer fighter, so I am having a cup of tea with allulose in it first thing in the morning instead of a cup of coffee. I will use it throughout the day in my coffee.
I am getting a lot of good information from the woman doctor who is a cancer survivor for 8 yrs. She even tells you how to reverse the neuropathy at least to the point that I can get around better as I know it doesn't leave everyone, but I think exercise has a lot to do with that. So I have to be more faithful doing them a minimum of 3 days a week she says. I am grateful that I found her and I have hope. I know I'm not going to live forever here, but I would like to be able to enjoy the years I have left. I am going to take all the info I learned from her and make my own plan. I am such a routine person that it will work better for me if I do that.
You haven't said much. Are you going any where for Easter? How is DH doing with his trips to casino?

Trish, so funny, today. They always borrow tables and folding chairs from the firehall to accomodate everyaone. Today I chose where I was going to sit and sat down and the chair collapsed. They were picking me up off the floor. I laughed and said "My diet starts tomorrow.". Sean said he didnt think they took that broken chair. Later on I was eating a piece of cake with white fluffy icing. I didnt want to finish it so I left it. A few minutes later I wanted to wipe my fingers and that looked like my napkin crumpled on the plate. I reached down and was trying to wipe my fingers In the icing.
Otherwise, everything was good, and I totally over ate. very nice day. Sherry was there with her husband. He is a total hottie and I enjoyed the view!
Carol Sue Sounds like you had quite an interesting day. I loved the napkin/icing story. I'm glad you weren't hurt from the fall.
I ate too much food at dinner so didn't eat anything else. The pain in my back has been terrible today. I finally remembered tonight that I've had this before. I used the heating pad and then remembered my little tens machine. I couldn't find the pads for it, so had to order new ones from Amazon. There were some old ones attached to the machine, but DH fixed it and I used it sitting in my recliner to hold it in place. I will take a tramadol and hope I can sleep.
Weight is back down to 170.8 lbs this morning; FBG 108 which I think is probably due to not being able to eat plus the allulose and bp 105'61. Pain is better this morning, but I am fighting the grogginess I have the day after taking just 1 tramadol. This is why I don't like taking pain pills. I take them little that it makes my day after feel like a hangover after getting drunk. We would have gone to the store today, but I'm having a difficult time staying awake. Usually exercise helps some, but I've only managed one set of them so far today. I hope to at least get another set of leg exercise done before this day is over. Thank goodness we can eat the leftovers from yesterday.
The allulose seems to be working as a appetite depressant. I was able to eat only 2 meals yesterday. So far today I had a cup of green tea with allulose, a c of coffee with allulose a mango and a Premier chocolate protein shake. Pushed to get to just over 1000 calories planned for my calories today.

I forgot to reset my scale this morning so it still says 179.4. If I dont quit eating Easter leftovers I wont fit into my flight suit. This morning my step daughter dropped off some carrot cake.
Carol Sue I understand. If I don't stop eating what I know "I" can't eat, I'm not going to lose weight, but gain I can have some foods without problems but I really can't some carbs everyday like we do with leftovers. My FBG was 103 so the allulose works good for that but not for weight loss or maybe my body is just adjusting to the new way. It is hard for me even though I seem to be stable. Weight was 171.2 and the bounce maybe just adjustment before losing, but that is what I thought when I was in the 160s bounce.

DH was ready to leave in the middle of my post earlier so I had to leave.
Today I had a Protein shake for breakfast and will have another one for dinner. For dinner we had Chinese food.
Hope everyone has a good day.

Good sleep. Scale still seems stuck. 179.2. The reset only works on the battery scale. This one is rechargeable. I will continue to look for instructions for resetting rechargeable. DH tried weighing. It weighed him correctly but I thOught it would reset the scale, but it went right back to weighing me 179.2. I dont think my eeight stayed the same for this long.

DH found a reset button on the scale. He pushed it and the readout showed 100 and then counted down to 0. I got on and it weighed me at 180.0! Not the result I wanted! So I got off and back on. 179.0 I repeated it, still 179.0.So im calling it!
