My PKU clinic visit was Tuesday. It went well. My level was 8mg/dl, which is better than last time, but not what I wanted. I spoke with my dietician, and her plan is for me to lower my protein intake from 16 grams to 11-12 grams. I'm hoping that this will more than bring me down to 2-6mg/dl, and then I will just stay at that number of grams. PKU camp begins July 25th and ends July 28th, and they do levels at the beginning and end of camp so that will be my next update as far as my PHE level goes.
I've gained a couple pounds since my exciting "almost 10 pounds lost". With the holiday being this week, I've eaten differently than normal and its harder to keep track when I'm not eating my normal daily routine. I know it's not a big deal and I will lose it again, it's just frustrating to see gains anytime.
Hope everyone has a great 4th of July!
That is weight loss for ya. You win some, you lose some. What is important is to get back into the grove of it. :) I am going to the beach for as short getaway this coming week and I know that I will gain a few. Hey, we only get one life, might as well enjoy it!
