Total lost from my highest weight.



Lost since surgery

The good news is I am off all perscriptions except Thyroid. My one year labs were great. Cholesterol is normal, triglycerides are great. Blood pressure normal, blood sugar nearly normal. I need to make a few small adjustments to my supplements.

Ten months post op. Stalled. But not defeated. Started walking more. I did something fun this week. I road a segway! OK so the segway guy didn't turn loose...but I controlled the speed.

Thaaat is at home Dr. P's scale read 202.6 yesterday, but I am using the home scale as my official scale. I am still ding well and will start using this blog for other thought in addition to weight loss.

6 month surgiversary

Today is 6 months since my surgery. Monday at my appointment I weighed 221.8. down 67.5 since the surgery. 96.2 from my highest weight. As of January 30th I am off all perscriptions except for thyroid. A1C is normal, Triglycerides are 175 down from over 400 vldv is still a little high but total cholesterol is good. All Vitamin/mineral levels good. God has been good to me and my journey so far has been fairly smooth and easy. Very few side effects. I am now cleared to try most foods, of course avoiding sugar, high fat, simple carb foods. Dr Richardson is a great doctor and his office staff very supportive an helpful.
