It has now been one month since my sleeve operation to reduce my stomach size. SideBy Care, and my assistant, counselor, Angel, has helped me tremendously to get through this first month. The liquid diets are very, very hard to follow. And drove me crazy. I didn't think I was going to be able to do them. But just when I would have these things going through my mind, Angel would, call, we'd get on, we'd get on the, the Zoom call and she would, she would tell me, I know exactly what you're thinking. You don't have to explain it. And she'd give me advice, and that advice was so on point.
I have to be, I have to be mindful. I have to stay mindful. Why am I doing this? You know, I have to look at my body and go: "my body is responding from doing this, from doing the right thing." The swelling in my legs is going down. My blood glucose level has gone down from a 13.1 A1C to a 6.38. A1c. You know, my face is losing his jowls. You know, I can, I can, I can stand. I can, I can I can squat, I can kneel. I can get off the floor. All these things are the things that I want. That's what I'm looking for. The improvements in my health and to be able to take care of myself better. And because of Angel, and SideBy Care, I'm learning how to deal with those methods. Thank you.
