I couldn't have been happier to hear my doctor's excitement as she read my blood test results. My A1C came way down, which is so great. She cut my cholesterol medication in half and said when I go back in 3 months she will probably be able to take me completely off it, as well as my diabetic medication. She is going to test my blood again in 3 months, including my thyroid, to see if I can stop that med, as well. The blood pressure medication will probably be the last one to be removed, but she said it will not be necessary any longer if I keep losing and exercising.

 

I have my first fill scheduled for next week, but I am not sure right now if I will need it yet. My surgeon said if I don't feel that it is necessary, wait one more week. Sometimes I think I do need it, but I think I will wait until Monday to make my decision.

 

I am not over eating or eating anything that I have been told not to eat. I've been losing about 5lbs a week. Last night I had 1/2 a hamburger, no bun, with mozzarella cheese and some broccoli and was very content. When served, I immediately cut the burger and veggie in half and put it in a to-go box. Today's lunch was last night's leftover. Eating this way is certainly less expensive.

 

I am truly happier than I have been in years. I know I have written this statement before, but it is true, and I want everyone to know it. I will lose the weight this time, I will get off my medications, I will hit the gym and build muscle instead of fat, I will ward off getting cancer again.

 

I AM WOMAN, HEAR ME ROAR! (Thanks Helen)

Great news!! I go for my fill next week too and I am not sure if I am ready yet.. my doctor only does fills 2x a month which stinks. I am on Thyroid meds too and I thought weight loss does not effect that since it replaces the hormone that our body does not make. I take a low dose of BP med and they said they will monitor every 3 months.

You have got it going on!

I am so excited for you. I get my 1st fill on June 20. I am somewhat terrified of seeing and having them poke me with a needle. I wish I had someone with me to coach me and hold my hand, better yet hold me.

Have you ever had a moment were you just wanted to be held.............................

Absolutely fantastic!! Don't rush any fills! If you feel that you are doing great, then don't get one. You can always call the office and schedule one if you feel that you are needing one!

Hey, I wake up with a smile on my face everyday..why not blog it everytime you blog!! Tell the world, tell strangers, tell the dog..tell anyone..Isn't it wonderful to be so happy than what we were before?

Take care!
