Annual Blood Work Results In

Awww, finally got my blood work results from last week and all results are A-ok with the exception of cholesterol and triglicerides (just slightly elevated) so I do need to find a balance there and my B-12 is above normal but again only slightly. My surgeon is very happy with the results and unless I have any problems, I do not need to see him again until next year. Dana

woo hoo!! good for you dana. i have to go get my labs done next week and see the surgeon on Feb 9th. i can't wait. i went to the gyno the other day and she gave me the all clear to work on a baby...now if the surgeon says yes then it's go time for me and Kevin!! yeah!! finally i'm healthy enough(hopefully the labs say so too) and ready to have a baby!! woo hoo!!

Thanks Steph, good luck to you on the blood work also. That's great that your gyno is giving you the all clear on trying to have a baby, I hope your surgeon is ok with it too. Children are such a joy but can also cause you some anxious stressful days , the joy does outweigh those days but whewww they can do me in sometimes . Hugs, Dana

WTG dana. that's excellent. it's always nice when the surgeon is happy, isn't it? thanks for the update. have a good one. dorthe

Hey Dana, I go in for my annual bloodwork on the 8th with follow-up on the 13th. Wish I were at goal like you, but...sigh. I'm not. Still plugging away. Tooter seems to think I'm not eating enough and suggested I up the calories to 1200 per day. Hard to do though! Pat

Way cool! Isn't it nice to have our blood work come back good like that? I mean, most of us spent years hating going in to the doctor for anything cuz we were so unhealthy and FAT! Now we look forward to going in to show off how far we've come! Yes, exercise will help that cholestrol! I know it's hard getting started. Just try to find what works for you and JUST DO IT! I get up at 4:00 am 5 days a week. I have been doing this without missing a day (even thru the Holidays!) since Sept. Now it is just the way it is, I don't even think about it, it's like brushing your teeth! But the benefits!! I feel so good, I never get winded! I went to a friends house last night and her husband was a sweetie and was teaching me to dance. That is on my list of things to do when I am no longer fat, and since I am NO LONGER FAT!! I am ready to learn. I didn't even break a sweat! I was teasing him cuz he was breathing heavy, but it was a breeze for me. That treadmill at 4 mph for 30 minutes makes a BiG difference! My last cholestrol was 113, yes, I typed 113! I asked them if it could be too low! I really think exercise is what is making the difference. Ok, that is my pep talk for today! Or is that a kick in your behind?! Hugs! Susan 298/167/160

Hi Dana, Glad to hear Dr was happy with your results...did he even recognize you little peanut?? You look great!
