Happy Friday! As I was getting ready to close up my computer a few minutes ago, I looked down at the date and realized today is my 5 month surgiversary! This has been a great week for NSV's for me - but the best by far was yesterday when my blood pressure was 102/62 at my doctor's appointment. My Dr. took me off of the half dose of high blood pressure medication!!! I am now off all of the medications I was taking for my long list of co-morbidities - two high blood pressure meds, cholesterol med, metabolic syndrome med and so forth. The weight loss has been great, but the reason I did this was to reduce my co-morbidities to improve my overall health and wellness. Hope everyone enjoys a wonderful weekend!
