Carol Sue I wonder if the shot is causing the potty issues. I don't know how that works. I'm sorry about your neighbor. I sure hope she will be okay.

Nothing new here. Weight the same 168.2 lbs and FBG is staying under 110. Can't seem to get it back to normal range but for now I will take it. Have to be at the hospital early tomorrow to get the port placement. Get there at 9 am and they said I would be out of there by 1 pm. Then DH will stop off at Sam's and the local store to pick up meds. So it is going to be a very long day tomorrow, but it will be done and I will just have to wait for oncology to call with appointment dates to get me on my new infusion routine once they get insurance approval.

I got to thinking this morning while showering that I need to stop seeing myself as fat. I mean I'm still over weight but I don't weigh 200+ any more. I remember DS telling me that I'm not fat any more, but I never believed her before I still felt fat. I do have the stomach and big rearend and would have that even if I was skinny, but I need to realize that I am a lot smaller than I was. Sad that once we lose all that weight we can't see it for ourself.

Hope everybody has a good day.

Slight potty issues again last night but not like the night before. scale down to 176.2. I will try to hold that. I didny have the potty issues from the shot before. I have 2 shots left. I wont won't take it again unless the price goes down.

My stomach still feels a little queasy.

Still having slight potty issues overnight. Scale is down to 176, down .2. I imagine the downward trend will end when the potty issues end. Im losing too much sleep this way.
But im glad to see the weight loss.

My friend is still hanging around.

Port placement went very well. I am glad it is over. It isn't going to be like I look like I thought it would. In fact, they said it is just under the skin and it is like pace makers. It takes about 14 days for it to heal completely. I had my pizza meal and now I'm ready for a nap from the fact that I had to get up so early and the aftermath of the drugs. Since I take so few of them. it takes a while for them to wear off.

Carol Sue glad the weight is coming down and hope you keep as much of it as possible.

Weight for me was the same 168.2.

Trish, Im glad everything went well forvyou. i pray that it continues that way and you get to ring the bell!

I forgotvto weigh this morning. its DHs fault. This morning he was in a hurry to get Brodie hooked up to go outside and he disrupted my normal morning bc routine. Brodie will not let DH hook him up. He has to sit on my lap and have me hook him up. Then he will go NJ outside with DH. I didnt remember about weighing until after I ate.

I will send an emaul Trish.

Weight was 167.2 lbs down a lb, but not sure I'll be able to keep it. FBG was 128 I think. Can't remember and bp was up as well although it was considered normal. I figure that was the meds during procedure plus the pizza I had. Cals and carbs were okay, but I didn't sleep good. I think because I was afraid I might pull the bandage off while sleeping. Any way back to eating normal today.

Emailed oncologist and I don't have to do the 24 hr urine test on this new regimen. That will be nice, but I still have to try to stay hydrated.

Have good day everybody.

This morning the scale was 177.2, up 1.2 lb. But my potty issues arealmosst gone. JUST bit here and there.

Trish, it sounds like everything is going bc well with you for this next treatment session. 💓💕❤😇

Did you read the new email I sent last night? funny.

Carol Sue Yes I read the email just now. Quite a sense of humor. LOL.

I am going to try to help you see your progress because I never felt it myself and trying to see it now. You are under 180... in the 170s. That is an accomplishment even if it is potty issues. Bouncing isn't bad. I think it means you are leveling off as your body gets ready for another loss. I'm trying to remember that I am under 170 and that is a blessing at this time.

Weight this morning was 167.8 so it is up .6 but hopefully it is real. Yesterday my body was reacting to all that was done to it the day before. FBG yesterday was 123 not 128 and today it is back down to 108. BP was back down to a good normal range as well. So body is accepting the port and settling down. DH removed the bandage off of the hole where the go in to put the wire into my chest and replaced it with a band aid so it isn't pulling on my wrinkled turkey neck and it feels much better. I think the bandage on the place where the port is could be changed to but I won't do that until Saturday. That is a slit and I want to give it plenty of time to heal. I'm ready to get things going, but doctors and insurance companies don't get in a hurry so I am in waiting mode now.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Weight back down to 167.2 lbs today and I was pleased to see FBG was 97. Feeling good today and wish I could exercise but I am limited on that until the portal area is total healed. Not sure what I can do. I guess I need to research that.

Carol Sue I guess this is y'all's casino day. Hope it goes well for y'all.

Have a good day everyone.

Yes we are at the casino now.
today the scale was up again to 178. I have to put my scale on the kitchen floor to weigh. Little Brodie runs over to look at it like he wants to see the number. Its very funny.

Im very confused today. I have no idea who i"'m talking to online.

Scale continues to go up. 179.4 today. But like you said Trish, Im still under 180, although not by much.

I think I will make pork and sauerkraut today. ive been wanting to make it but I keep forgetting to defrost the meat. I'll remember to do it today. I think pork is now my favorite meat.

Weight this morning 166.4 lbs. FBG 103. Not much happening here today. We are having fish for dinner today. I get to take the bandage off the port today and replace it with a band aid.

Carol Sue I think my favorite meat is pork too.

Have a nice day everyone.

This morning the scale was back up to 181.0. I'm not happy aboit that. I slept well straight thru the night and I do know the lower weight the past several days was due to the potty issues.

I think my friend is texting me in 2 different places. He has some very unusual ways, even with his sense of humor. I can no longer get on Twitter. I will have to try to open a new account. In the meantime I have started reading books on my Kindle to.pass the time. I like that I can carry my Kindle with me and always have something to read. Are you reading anything interesting or following anyone right now?

I will maybe cook a beef roast today.

Carol Sue I'm so sorry about your weight going back up. I'm not reading much of anything right now except for my devotionals. I still listen to Dr. Westman and may start listening to Dr. Barry again. I will send you an email about your friend that I read last night that I thought was interesting.

My weight was still 166.4 lbs. FBG was 112 but took it later and had taken my liquid B12 so that may be why it was up. I started bleeding yesterday after bowel movement and it is more than usual. I've had that before having taken the Bev immunotherapy medicine, but never had it last this long. Still had it this morning. it is not uncommon for people to get nose bleeds with that medicine, but I've always had my bleeding from the other end. But like I said it usually goes away. I thought it was a hemorrhoid or I wipe too hard. Anyway, it stopped during the night but as soon as I went potty this morning it was back again. DH got upset and wanted me to go to ER. He got me so bumfuzzled that we got halfway to the hospital and I realized we had left my purse at home with all my ID and info in it and of course, they weren't going to do anything for me without it. So we turned around and came home and I told him that I didn't want to go to the ER. I will see if it stops and if not I will call my oncologist tomorrow. I had potty issues a lot yesterday and I really believe that today it will settle down and stop on its own like it usually does. He was just afraid I would lose too much blood.

I got my information from my insurance company in the mail saying they have approved my chemo meds so I hope to get that started. I really want to keep my Tuesday infusion day so I hope to get labs done this week and start treatment on the 25th.

I've been eating soup this week but we will have the fish today that we were going to have yesterday. DN is bringing me smoked turkey for Thanksgiving, but I'm hungry for a pork roast again and my have DH get one when he goes to the store Tuesday.

Have a great day.

Weight still 166.4 so I guess the loss is real. FBG back to 106. Everything back to normal. In fact, bleeding finally stopped on its own. I did some research and found that the Papaya Leaf Extract should have been stopped one week before the portal placement. I'm sure my doctor doesn't even know that. He told me he eats papaya. Come to find out it shouldn't be eaten or taken a week before dental work or any surgery and it also says don't take it when having chemo treatment. So I will let him know what I experienced.

I am going to do some research about some other things I take to be sure it is okay to take with the chemo I am going to be taking.

Have a good day everyone.
