Mom's out of surgery and in ICU. Still asleep, likely will be for awhile. Doctor said everything went really well, just because she’s so small, he also increased the size of the actual aorta. Said she has no issues with blockages or anything like that. Did need some blood because she was slightly anemic, but that was expected from the stenosis. If everything progresses well she could move to a regular room tomorrow, otherwise it will be Monday. She’s on a ventilator, but should be able to breathe on her own when she wakes up. Hopefully she can go home Tuesday or Wednesday. And, she’s now part cow (that’s what they got the valve from)

Also, I’m sad @Behr didn’t appreciate my Al Gore joke

I’m so sorry I didn’t see about your mom before now. Some friend. It’s hard seeing your parents go through trauma and there’s not a damn thing you can do about it. I’ve been through it with mom for the last almost 2 months with her. There’s really nothing I can say, but I’m still your friend and still have two ears and only one mouth.

It’s all good. I only made a couple posts about it. She’s doing great, just really tired. So the plan is to leave her alone all day and let her sleep.

I know you’re super busy orb I haven’t been checking in with you either, so we good!

Day 5 399.6

I went up 4 pounds yesterday after drinking a ton of water to 404 point something ....son had his first fall little league practice and we were in the heat for a bit. came home and drank profusely before I weighed .....had very very bad brain fog and tiredness last night. Drank a lot of electrolytes and ice water today before weighed too but I'm below the big 400 barrier. Today has been more of the same, brain is rebelling to no glucose easily found. Very flu like. Hopefully that means I'm about about to turn the test strips the right color for ketosis... if so I was able to make the switch MUCH faster this time. That might be wishful thinking.... Would give anything for a glass of OJ, that is what my heart desires most.

Not really as hungry I did have 2 small steak medallions at 2 and this is my final meal before 6pm.... still on 20 fast 4 hours eat window....lil omlette and bacon action.... I'm told i'll get tired of this...not so far. Mainly eating cause if I don't now, I'll be miserable by noon tomorrow.

Day 7
Woke up and the pee strip is now purplish...so I am in ketosis. My head is clear, I feel good. This is a new record. Did Keto in past but it took weeks to get to this point.... basically achieved it in under a week. Starting out on carno would be worth it for that alone even if you switched to keto after. But I plan on staying with it for 30-90 days.

Weight is oscilating still 401.8 today....BUT interesting have lost about an inch and half off of waist and feeling better over all...seems to have ended bloating, edema, and stablizaed blood sugar already. Steak/Bacon/Eggs still winning. Per previous keto now that I am in ketosis and feeling better should be able to excercise more and get more done. Found this useful and interesting as a way to save money on steak... Already did it with larger chuck roast, but will have to locate beef roll locally.

No excuse to lose a challenge because your dish "needs seasoning". You should be sent home right then.

"It would have been a 10, but it needed salt".

Lol. Get out. Go home.
