3 Month Appt. with PCP Today

May 04, 2009

I have been feeling great since I had surgery.  I have lost 62.5 lbs. in 3 months, and my Dr. couldn't stop telling me how good I look.  It felt great to hear that from her, because I never thought an HMO Dr. would even remember who I am.

I had a physical done, and was given a form to have tons of lab work done for all my vitamin levels, thyroid levels (I am hypothyroid), and my cholesterol.  I am hoping all tests come back normal, and will keep you all informed if not. 

I had my blood pressure taken and was shocked that it was 140/100, which is high.  In fact, this is the highest it has ever been.  I asked her how it was possible, and she said that I should watch my salt intake.  Too weird, especially since I don't eat half the salt that I used to.  I guess I will watch my salt, and go back in a week to re-check it. 

I also asked her about some dizzy spells I get.  She that I am probably not getting enough sugar/carbs.  I think she is right, because I do mostly eat protein and very little carbs each day.  She said this is really bad when I working out for 2 hours 3-4 days a week.  She said to eat a small carb stack half way through my workout to keep my sugar levels normal.

Well, thanks for reading my update.  I guess I should just post this to my blog.

I hope everyone is doing great on their own journies.  I truly enjoy reading all of your blogs and questions/answers.  Thank you!
