WOW moment

I went to my primary care physician last Friday I was having increasing pain in my shoulder with exercise. I previously had shoulder surgery and was afraid that I had a rotator cuff tear. He decided to do labs since I am now nine months out. On Monday he called and told me that he was removing the diagnosis of Diabetes and Hypertension from my medical record. He said there is no sign of diabetes (went off oral meds at discharge from surgery 06/2008) and my blood pressure is on the boarder of being “low".   I thank Kaiser for the great education prior to surgery and for great follow-up care. I have taken this “tool" and made huge changes in my life. Food is fuel and not an escape. I have learned when, what, and how to eat. For the first few months I did lose my passion for cooking and my husband was not amused. I am now back to loving to cook and enjoy adapting old and creating new healthy foods.     I know I need to get a picture up and the site but not real techy in that way.   Highest weight 301# I finally admit I did get over the 300 mark Surgery weight 280# Current weight 172# Goal weight 165#  

WOW is right. Contratulations T... this is fantastic news! You should be so proud of yourself and I'll bet your Honey is too! I too have finally gotten back into cooking and it's fun to create things that taste good and are healthy. Keep up the good work!!!!

Health = wealth!!! 

Congrats!!!!!!!!  Keep up the great work!  I'm hoping one day I will not have diabetes anymore as well!  :)  Thanks for the continued hope that the goal can happen! 

Congrats, awesome WOW moment!!!
