I Had my 1 year check-up today!

Everything went great!  The Dr. said that normally people who had surg. lose 50-75% of their excess body weight at 1 year out.  I lost 88%....according to their scale I was 2 lbs lower than what mine said.  

All my labs came out fine. 

I saw Linda Tate after Dr. Gould and she was very pleased with my labs and my weight loss.

I am happy to report I have not had sugar of any sort and I feel much better.  My stomach is thanking me for staying away from it.

Kuddos Girlfriend!!!  WAY TO GO!  You have done absolutely amazing and you are such an inspiration!  Keep up the great work.

congrats!! You look great!

That is so awesome Lisa.  You have done absolutely great.  We are all so proud of you...and great job staying away from sugar.  You will feel so much better!!!

Lisa,

Glad to hear the good news...you have done soooo well.  My one year is Sept 2...and my appointment is this Thursday...hope i get equally good reports!

Good work on the sugar too!

Lisa,  Omg you are awesome. can you tell us what your labs were before and what they are now? in just one month my labs went way down so I can't imagine what they are now. I haven't touch sugar since 2 weeks before my surgery. it's hard sometimes but the rewards are much more craving than having the craving for sugar. I crave one pound at a time lol.

I'm proud of you and I don't even know you.

Hi Heidi,

Thanks for your kind words! 

I cannot remember the numbers on my lab results.  Linda Tate said they were all great and within the normal limits.  Sorry. 

Have you had your levels checked again?  How are you feeling?  I hope you can get them leveled out. 

Great job on the sugar!  I am happy to say that I haven't had 1 Skittle from that 3lb bag I bought.  I feel SO much better. 

Lisa

Good for you for not touching one skittle.  The reward was given to you for not touching sugar.

My levels were drastic but he had me stay on my smiv, until he checks my levels again in sept i think. I couldn't believe how much they dropped neither could my pcp.

I'm not throwing up as much anymore but my biggest thing is slowing down when I eat. I'm 68lbs down since the last week in may. from my preop dieting.

Are you taking all your supplements? 

Good to hear you're not vomiting as much.  Really try to chew your food extra good, ok?  Do you get light headed at all?  Great weight loss so far. 

Lisa

I'm going by the book. except for the slowing down. I think im going slow. it's the only thing i can think of that was making me sick
