That Was Then...This Is Now!

I am one week shy of being 5 months out and had my appointment with the nurse practioner at PMRI today. I couldn't be more thrilled with the results! 80 Pounds lost 20 inches lost March Fasting Blood Sugar was 182.....August 99 March HbA1c ( long term diabetic control reading ) 7.5.....August 6.0 March Cholesterol.....216.....August.....177 March Triglycerides.....290.....August 115!!!! ( say yay! ) March B/P.....140/90.....August.....104/70!!!! ( say yay again! ) She said all my vitamins and protein levels were perfect and no need to come back till February just shy of my one year Evidently that's the case because all three times I have been seen so far everything was as it should be. I just graduated to a size 16 jeans and am rapidly leaving anything with an X attached to it in the dust. Pre-ops who may be reading this hang in there, you can do it too! Linda
