Sometime back some of us on here were discussing company's that offer an "incentive $$$" to their employees for completing a well being assessment/biometric screening. I did boycott for a couple of years....but, then figured what the heck.

So yesterday I go to this at work and they do their screenings....all the normal stuff, height/weight/bloodtest, etc.

I completely forgot about the required 8 hours of fasting before the bloodtest....but, they said they'd do it anyways. Keep in mind about 2 hours before the test, I had two ribs, half an ear of corn, some broccoli salad, AND homemade fruit salad.< /p>

When the machine spit out the results, the nice lady goes....."you said you just ate two hours ago?" YEP.

She sent me over to this table of health coach professional's.... to explain my results to me. Coach me.

After the expert looked over my numbers, she said my sugar/triglycerides/cholesterol ratio/glucose/BP all were "GREAT"! "but you could stand to lose a few pounds"............then I pulled out my phone, and showed her a pic of where I was when I started this journey. Her jaw about hit the floor....

LIFE IS GREAT! :)

hahah that reminds me when I went in to get a back injection and the dr who was not familiar w/ me started lecturing me on needing to lose weight. At that time I lost 80 lbs and so I say " well it sure beats being 80lbs heavier like I was last year" he shut up. Better yet, 3 months later I go in for another one. He doesn't remember me as he probably sees 10 of me a day. I was bracing for his 'lose weight' lecture again, but now I'm down 100 lbs in size 6...guess it's a tad inappropriate ey? lol

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
