Jennifer-
Good job! Keep up the good work!
My good cholesterol was down too. My nut. suggested I add Omega 3-6-9 (available at the Vitamin Shoppe). Did yours suggest anything? I'm not sure with the bad being high if the Omega would be the right thing for you or not.
Isn't it a good feeling to be doing so well with the labs? I was so worried before I went in for the results!
Thanks for the update!

Topic: Three month check-up--all good
So I had my 3 month check up on Friday and the news was all good. I'm down 56 lbs from the day before surgery and I'm down 81 lbs from my heaviest. I feel great, I think I look pretty good too.
My blood work results were good. My cholesterol is a little out of wack, low on the good, bad on the high. Funny thing, that wasn't a problem before surgery. He told me it was common though and that I needn't worry about it.
Topic: RE: How much weight has everyone lost to date?
Just went for my month postop check up. Lost 53 pounds. Doc says I am right on track, any more and skin will hang. Any less and I am not doing something right. I started by monthly cycle, and my scale shows an 8 lb GAIN from last week. Ok, so I wonder which number I can use??? Of course I want the lighter one, but guess I have to use the doc's "official" scale reading, dang it.... Not worried about the 8 lb gain, it comes right off after the cycle is over, but man, that is alot of water weight isn't it???

I was lookin for ya too Sandy. Glad to know your ok my SIS, tomorrow is 3 months, how are u feeling? How is the eating going? Every once in awhile I eat too fast & boy do I feel it!! & it finally comes back up. I started to do "Disco Blast off" with Richard Simmons video & some weight training at the end (for my bat wings) it's really helping with my energy level & inches are melting off alot quicker. I went from 3x to size 16 already, this is amazing. I hope you are doing great! take care, ttys
Hugs, Heather
