exciting

Just had to share I went to my PCP today for her to check blood pressure, well I didnt tell her I havent taken my med in almost 2 weeks, due to feeling weak.. well the nurse takes it and its 128/84 .. WOOO HOO.. my pcp comes in and she is sooo excited she is like look at your blood pressure and then I tell her the best part I havent even taken my meds...

So a month after surgery I no longer need my BP meds, I have to go back in 3 mths and check it weekly at home just in case..

I am also down another 7lbs since Feb 2nd.. so that is a total of 37 lbs.. in a lil over a month .. and of course I am so hard on myself I don't think that is enough ....

thats is fantastic news

Wow ! How great is that. No BP meds. You are on the road girl. And 37 lbs. in ONE month. That ain't nothing to shabby there. That is MORE than 1 lb a day. That is great. Congratulate yourself. Good for you. Keep up the great work.

Awesome news on the BP meds and the weight loss!!! Thats about a POUND A DAY! Amazing isn't it!?

That is great news Jenn.  I too was able to ditch my BP meds shortly after surgery.

FANTASTIC news!

Uh...almost 9 pounds a freaking week?  Start carrying around 8 bags of flour from the grocery store and see if that is enough, because that is basically what you have lost thus far!  It is GREAT

You are doing an amazing, fantastic job!! I am so happy for you!! Much continued success!!!

aww thank you all..  I really appreciate it..

Pam I so havent thought of it that way .. thank you for putting it into perspective...

wooo hoo I lost 37lbs..

It was a trick I used when I was feeling "down" about my numbers not being "down" enough.

Did you do measurements before surgery?  If not...do them now and monthly - they will also help when the scale doesn't move, but your inches will!
