Creekimp13 5,840 Posted March 2, 2018 Perfect labs. That was music to my ears. Perfect normal sugar. Perfect normal cholesterol. Perfect normal Vitamin levels. Absolutely every value was in the normal range. When the hell has that ever happened before? It felt like a huge accomplishment. More good news. Next month I'll be weening off my omeprazole....which will leave me on exactly one Rx medication....thyroid. Perfect blood pressure, no meds. Doc thinks I'm going overboard on walking. LOL. I have a little back and hip pain (greatly improved, but still reminds me its there from time to time) that he thinks would benefit if I cut down to 12,000 steps a day. I might bump up my swimming...which he thought was a fair. I'm currently on a stall. Probably menstrual bloat. Doc is satisfied with my weight loss, thinks I'm doing great. Saw nutritionist, too...no major changes. She laughed at my new love of oatmeal. Best news of all: No more appointments...for three freakin months!!!! Whew! Man, that feels good. I feel like this year has been one constant doctor's appointment. Feels good to be free of the poking and prodding for a while:) 6 Dragon64, FluffyChix, newself and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FluffyChix 17,415 Posted March 2, 2018 Oh congrats girlie!!! That's a FABulous report!!! I'm so thrilled for you and thrilled that you're doing so well! You're an inspiration to so many of us!!! (Sorry about the back and hip pain though! I bet the water-cizing will help it!) 1 Creekimp13 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apple203 1,314 Posted March 2, 2018 (edited) I love that your doctor is negotiating with you about your exercise -- bet s/he doesn't do that often! Edited March 2, 2018 by Apple203 1 1 FluffyChix and Creekimp13 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Biddy zz 🏳️🌈 1,004 Posted March 2, 2018 (edited) Fantastic news @Creekimp13 I am at week 11 and had early bloods because of regular slightly odd bruising. And like you - the results are damned near perfect! Good sugars, Iron, B12, cholesterol. What a kick! (The bruising - they put down to me being more active, but we are keeping an eye on it.)

blizair09 3,250 Posted March 2, 2018 Great news! It is SO nice when you ease into only seeing the surgeon’s people once a year. I do my PCP in March and the bariatric people in October. It beats the hell out of monthly appointments! 1 Creekimp13 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
