First Weight Loss Check-in
Jul 30, 2011
Ok now I know I have started my journey. I had my first weight check-in last Tuesday and weighed in at 300 lbs. I also received the results of all my blood tests and ultrasound of my liver. I was a low on Vitiam D so she wrote a prescription for me and my ultrasound was fine that was a relief so that's is one down and 5 to go.I am supposed to quit all soft drinks and beer and I am surprised to find giving up cokes is harder than giving up beer. I am replacing beer with O'dules to help me quit and that seems to be working for now, a couple of those are enough a couple times a week instead of 5 times a week, but the cokes are harder but I am down from about 4 a day to 2 a day so I am trying.
I have to say everyone at Vanderbilt have been so nice and professional. Next on the list is a stress test on the 8th so I can get cardiac clearance and visit to my PCP this Tuesday for a letter of recommendation, hope it all works out.
