Yeah! Finally, after three weeks the scales show a loss: 5 pounds. My blood sugar is in better control, and I've lost a little over 3 inches from my waist! Minor improvements elsewhere, too.

The surgery is scheduled earlier than I expected: we just set it up today that it will be the morning of Wed. 26 June. I did want more time to prepare, but as I've been so nervous about it perhaps it will be just as well to get it over with.

6/3: 15 minutes on treadmill (tried to take a yoga class; teacher recommended I not as I couldn't keep up. )
