Impressed my pcp!!!



Recommended Posts

So since I am diabetic I see my pcp every 3 months. I saw him in May and told him I was having the surgery and got a letter. Well I went back yesterday, and I had lost 30 lbs since I was there last, and my bloodwork was fantastic. In May my HbA1C was 11.5, normal range is under 7. Yesterday it was 6.7!! :thumbup:

He was so impressed, and he couldn't believe my number was that low especially since it's a 3 month average and my surgery was only 2 weeks ago, so most of it was from the pre-op diet. He has been on my case for years about taking my meds and eating better, and now I'm not even taking meds but my sugars are so good. He doesn't want to see me for 4 months, and if my sugars are still good he will put me on 6 months.

Awesome! I had exact same experience...my pre-op diet did the same thing - two weeks before my surgery, my blod work was not good and they were talking about rescheduling until i lowered my HbA1C.

Keep up the good work and be healthy!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
