Check up

Morning all I'm a real fanatic about getting in for my blood work so went in last week to get everything checked out. Happy to report that all is well, all blood work is looking good. I was only 2 pts above for cholestrol, that has dropped from the 290's down to 127!!! All in a little over a years time. 127 is only 2 pts above what is the high "normal". My PA is really good for running ALL the blood tests that we require. I'm his "baby" being the 1st WLS patient for him & he has done alot of research concerning WLS what to look for what blood tests to run etc. And Dr. Shinnerl's office also sent a letter informing what blood tests to run. I go back in 30 days to re-run the cholestorol test but can live with that. Ok has anyone else been going thru the bottomless pit syndrome lately? Seems like I'm a bottomless pit, actually losing a few pounds finally! And Janet I've started having a cup of coffee in the evening sometimes 2 for some reason it's sounding good! We need to get together again!!! Cottage cheese still tastes sour to me. Can't understand why one day I can eat it the next day it's horrible....oh well who cares?! Hugs Carolyn

Good to hear all is well with the bloodwork!! Hey and the cottage cheese makers care I too am seeing my PCP for my bloodwork now that I am farther out! That is still great cholesterol......I would take it! It is amazing the difference a "FEW" pounds and a year make! I love the bottomless pit syndrome, hadn't thought of it as that......lol!!! I am going thru it....but working very hard at not giving into it.....I have had two good days in a row *KNOCK ON WOOD* I am going for three now ...I think we ALL need to get together soon....we had so much fun last year! I would LOVE to do it again......got any good camping on that side of the state??? I too LOVE my coffee.....but I drink leaded so if I drink it at night I can't sleep worth a poop.....I have been making some decaf chai tea with some splenda, a splash of milk, and pumpkin spice....YUMMY! Having a hot relaxing drink in the evening helps me not want to feed my face Hope all stays well.....Take care Jesi

Hi Jesi, Janet is the camping expert There are some good campsites around here though. I can't do de-caff get migraines so drink leaded. Now the herbal tea doesn't bother me but coffee gives me the headaches! Can't figure myself out so gave up trying Would love to see you again. Was kind of tossing around going to Missouri next week but don't think financially going to be able to swing it. Or like dad says get lucky with the lottery this weekend & just hire the limo to take you back & forth Hugs Carolyn

Did you say bottomless pit??? You shouldn't talk about me when I'm not around! I have been pretty good during the day but at night Don't know what to say about the cottage cheese thing. I eat it every day for lunch and haven't had a problem.

darn thought I was being quiet so you wouldn't hear me! Kidding Nights are my problem also. I've eaten cottage cheese practically on a daily basis so don't know what happened....oh well guess I better find a substitute!! Hugs Carolyn

{{{HUGZ}}} I'm glad everything went good...

I really need to get some pictures posted, and MAYBE even update my profile Hugs Sheila
