Just wanted to say Hi!

Hi everyone and Thanks so much for the words of encouragement. I have been resting this week and doing lots of nothing but reading! I got my staples out (from hysterctomy) on Thursday. I am more tired after this surgery than my gastric bypass but I am healing well. Got some lab results also on Thursday. My hemoglobin A1c was 5.5 (normal is anything under 6.5) and that is on NO diabetes medicines at all. My triglicerides are 97 and my total cholesterol is 179. I am so tickled!! I am down to 240 so that is 84 down since surgery and 95 down since January. I am just over 5 months out so I think I'm doing great. Forgive me for not responding to all of you but I just can't sit here very long right now. Not the most comfy chair... Terri

Terri, Glad to hear you're doing so well. You'll feel better every day, just don't over-do it! Take it easy, you'll bounce back faster in the long run! Vickie J.

Those lab #'s are great, Terri! Glad to hear that you are doing so well. We'll need to see a new picture soon. Please continue to take good care of yourself. Laurie

Terri, I am glad to hear you are feeling much better. Keep up the great work.

Hi Terri, It's good to see you posting. Everyday gets better after surgery. Sounds like you doing great in the weightloss department and your bloodwork. Keep it up and remember take your recovery slow.
