This just in....6 week checkup
Hi Gang!
Boy, it's been a wild week. 
I had a 9 day stall last week, my first, but thanks to you good folks predicting one around the 4-6 week timeframe I was able to not freak out and stay the course. Then Boom! 
it broke on Monday, (Thank God!) I woke up to 5lbs gone overnight.
Tuesday I went to the Endocrinologist for the 1st time since surgery and to get the results of bloodwork taken last week. Check it out...my A1C is 5.7 (from 7.7 in Oct.) and now "non-diabetic"!!!! 6 weeks without needles and 3 without meds! and my Cholesterol went from 186 to 145.
No more gerd or high blood pressure either. 
Wednesday I was dying to get on the scale; I had to really
fight it. 
Instead I measured the inches because you told me too and hubby and I noticed that even during the stall my clothes were getting baggy, and guess what??? 19.5 inches gone since surgery. Almost 6 off my waist! That was a shocker. 
Well today was my 6 week checkup at Barix and Dr. Brader said I went from the bottom of the class (with that pitiful 4lb loss at 2 weeks) to the top of the class...
...38lbs down!!! yippee!! I'm at 23% of goal. He reiterated to me that my weight loss might stall and then come off in chunks and don't let it stress me out because as long as I stick to the rules it's got nowhere to go but off. Needless to say, I went out of there smiling! 
doin the dance...
