Had my one-week checkup

Saw the nurse practitioner this afternoon - I was worried about my blood pressure b/c I was not put back on my meds after surgery.  All's well - it's high normal right now, but that seems to be okay and I'm satisfied.  My sugars have been stable in the 6's since surgery, so no metformin for now.  I got on my own scale this morning to see where I was at, and I was down 23 lbs since the start of optifast, but I a down 28 lbs since I was first weighed at the assessment centre.  And our scales are the same (except at home I was nekid, and on theirs, not nekid!)  I notice that I have no swelling in my ankles at all, and I've been living with cankles mostly every day for quite some time.  And I also notice that my face has lost its big puffy look as well.  So far, so good!

That's wonderful news Megan! It sounds like you are well on your way! I take it that Dr. Gmora is the new doctor at St.Joe's - I'm glad you liked him, I don't know who I'll get yet so it's good to know that he is nice.
