My next change of diet was not to begin until Monday. But I made a decision to change my diet early. The first time I made a change in my diet, I was in pain the first few days when I tried to eat. I figured that I didn't want to be at work and try to eat and be in pain. I spoke to Tom about this and he agreed.
Today I had my regular full liquid diet for most of the day. But then for dinner instead of my regular diet I tried tuna. I was very surprised because it wasn't painful at all. I don't think that I am completely out of the woods yet. Because going back to the first change that I made, the first time I ate I wasn't in pain, but the next several times were painful. I guess only time will tell.
My weight loss has slowed down. I am trying not to be too concerned about that. It's especially odd considering that I went back to work this week and so have been moving a lot more. But still, the weight is coming off more slowly. I am sure that is to be expected to some extent. I also have not had a BP in several days, actually I can't remember the last time that I had one...so that may playing into it. I am not sure if I should be concerned about this. I think I am going to start keeping track.
Good news is that my blood pressure has dropped. I have stopped taking my medication. I didn't decide to, my prescription ran out and my doctor hasn't refilled it yet. But even without my medication my blood pressure has been averaging 106/65. My pulse is still high, but it's always been high and my doctor's never seem concerned so I figure it's ok.
Overall, I am still very happy.
