Went to the Doc yesterday for my 6 month checkup and blood work... I walked in and was able to use a NORMAL SIZE blood pressure cuff! I was able to sit in the NORMAL chairs! and the day before I was able to fit into a NORMAL SIZED hospital gown! I about fell over LOL Doc jay says my blood work looks fantastic!! Everything is falling into where it needs to be and he's very pleased. me too!! Everything is going great so I just need to keep up the good work. He also noted that my hip pain is probably from my pelvis trying to rotate back to it's normal position after that many years of carrying a huge amount of weight. Says it's a' pretty common complaint. So heading off to PT to see if they can help out some. I'm also going in for an ultra sound for gallbladder pain. That's tomorrow. There is a chance that I might lose my job and therefore my insurance so I told him if there is a hint that it needs to be taken out that I want it done ASAP while I have insurance. OH!!! also got on the scale today and I'm less than half a pound from ONEDERLAND!! What a week

It's all very exciting!!

WOW! Congrats to you!! I know I felt the same exact way on my 6month apt and the picture floored me! I can't remember being as big as I was~ I am so glad they took my gall bladder at the same time~ But both my parents had theres out and I had some "gravel" in it so they took it at the same time as my gbs. Well again congrats and keep up the good work! Kristi

WOW! Good for you! You are looking wonderful. I remember the day I fit into a NORMAL size bp cuff (or as I stated - don't need the FAT GIRL cuff!)

I have had some hip pain as well, but that worked itself out, which was nice. 1/2 lb from ONDERLAND?!?!?!?!?! That is great - you will be there before you know it!!!! YEAH YOU!!!! Can't wait to see you next, I am sure you have changed a lot since our trip up to Du'loot.
