I Don’t Understand Why I Lost 5 Pounds This Week….

I’ve been eating more fruit every day, Turkish yogurt cheese on gluten-free bread that I made, red meat every day, less salads (but cooked green veggies etc), beans, some rice, and other starches, and if I feel a bit hungry I’ll have a snack. I had been cutting back on carbs in order to lessen my blood sugar levels. But this morning I checked my blood sugar and it was 92, which is about 15-20 points lower than last week.

I don't know what causing it, I hope it doesn't continue and you're in my prayers

@FreestyleArt I gained more weight than I should have last year, the doctors encouraged me to before I had those surgeries. Everything I am eating is healthy. And I feel good.

It's possible that all the roughage is moving things out of your system more quickly.

@4meAndyou I was eating a lot of salads this past few months so it’s not that.

@4meAndyou It might be the avocados and grass-fed beef that Ray bought. We’ve ate that several times this week. Am thinking something helped clear my liver out or something. I don’t know. I feel good. About the only time I don’t is the day of chemo and a bit of the next day. And if I go shopping and overdo it. Like the 3 stores I went shopping at on Sunday. We didn’t stop for lunch and didn’t eat till we got home later in the afternoon. I felt kind of worn out then, and wanted to sleep every time I ate something later on and even on Monday. After that I felt good.

@cherokeepatti Well, for whatever reason you feel good, I am sooo glad that you do!

Time for a pet scan?

@TexChik Oncologist says they can’t do surgery, don’t qualify for immunotherapy, and no more radiation. Using chemo to try to shrink the tumors. And doing genetic studies to try to find a match for a genetic study treatment that will target the tumors. Haven’t had a match so far for a study but the doctor who is over the genetic center told me that new trials are coming out all the time and they will continue trying to find a match. In the meanwhile I’m eating so many vegetables I feel like a cow in a cabbage patch.

@cherokeepatti hahaha. I stay away from the carbs myself. Protein and dark green veggies are about it.

@TexChik I hadn’t eaten any gluten-free bread for more than a month. Was starving for it and made some yesterday. Obviously didn’t make me gain weight. I think the resistant starch in the GF flour mix was beneficial.
