3 months out, good numbers

Since I was kind of whinning a couple of months ago I thought I would post some good news.  I am T2 diabetic, taking pills the last 8 years, well controlled but sliding downhill a bit each year.  I left hospital after my RNY off diabetes meds and was told to continue to test but not medicate unless I went over 200.  It was usually between than 130-170 fasting in the beginning.  Now, at three months I test fasting at 103.  But it took the full three months and 44 pounds of weight loss.  I still have lots of weight to go but I seem to be a slow loser (probably age, medical problems) and am down to one HP med and one cholesterol pill.  I see my PCP next week and hope I can stop the cholesterol med all together.  My DH says I eat less now than I used to spill--LOL.    For me it just was a matter of time and  weight loss.  BTW I now look like a bag lady in my winter things so some shopping is on my adgena. 

I'm so glad that you posted this!   I also had been complaining a while back.  My lap-band gets installed on this Wednesday, but with the presurgical weight loss I've also seen great improvement.  I'm off insulin (still with 4 other oral meds) and this morning my blood sugar was 93!! That is  a big vicotory for me.  When i started this process, even with insulin, my morning readings were 160 or +.  Weight loss alone can do it!

I hope you enjoy shopping for some attractive clothing!

Thanks for posting the update--it's great to hear you're doing better!

You'll have to hit all the upcoming holiday sales for yourself for some new winter clothes! A lot of people also suggest second-hand shops since you likely won't be staying in the sizes you buy for too long, but it depends on where you live (I know I have checked thrift stores near me and have had difficulty finding any plus-sized clothes).
