I went to my PCP today and my blood pressure was 100/58!  That is an all-time low for me....even on blood pressure medication it would run around 140/88.  My PCP said that I could stop my blood pressure meds!!!  I am so excited!!!  I've been dealing with blood pressure issues since I was 14 years old......so for 13 years I've been worried about that stupid cuff....goodbye lisinopril! 

I've almost lost 50 pounds and my 2 month surgiversary will be on Wednesday this week.  Last weekend I bought a pair of size 20 jeans from OLD NAVY!  No Lane Bryant or Fashion Bug Plus jeans anymore! 

I am so incredibly blessed....I love my life!

Congrats on losing the bp meds.  I haven't taken mine since the day before surgery.  At a week out my bp was fine so my PCP decided not to give me another script.  It was 127/83 last week at my 3-month checkup with her.  I'm also off one and a half of my asthma meds!  Gotta love it.

Congrats on the Old Navy 20's.  I was so excited when I got back into my ON 20's.  Don't spend too much because they don't fit for long!  I have to belt my 20s and am mostly in 18's now with some 16's.  I have vowed NEVER to shop in Lane Bryant or Fashion Bug Plus EVER again!  LOL!!  Ain't it great?!

Alright, Lauren!  Saying goodbye to Lisinopril is something I'm hoping to do very soon as well.  And not having to shop exclusively at larger size shops is a great big deal.  Enjoy!
