No longer diabetic (for now) - Had my 6-month labs. My A1c was 5.4 :) My LDL was 57 and the PA said I should talk to my pcp about getting off of the cholesterol med. 

Best 5k ever! - I still mostly walk, but I cut a whopping 4:30 off my last 5k, making that a total of 11:44 from my first 5k in August! Made sure I stretched before and after, and I'm only a littl...

Hot chocolate and lactose intolerance - I've become lactose intolerant. Cheese and yogurt are fine but milk makes me so sick. I bought some diet Swiss Miss. It's mixed with water but has milk as an ingredient. Do you ...

OT choice of doctor - Why on earth would someone see a gynecologist for general health and psychiatric care? Someone posted a comment and this is not a criticism of her, as I've known people personal...

Update on dizziness - I had wrist surgery on the 4th and was out of work for a week. I need to get at least 100 oz of fluids per day or I get dizzy. I'd had maybe 40-60 oz per day that week. That Fri...

I'm freeeeeee - Had wrist surgery last Monday. Splint and stitches came off this morning. I looked at the nurse and said, "That's it?" The incision is only half an inch long. It needed two stitche...

I feel a little guilty - I post my weight loss on Facebook. Every now and then my aunt will praise me on my hard work. I haven't had any hard work yet. That comes in a year or so when maintenance starts. I...

Blackheads on my wings. - Just discovered them in the shower yesterday. Weird. Had wrist surgery yesterday afternoon so now I can't squeeze them and it's driving me crazy, lol.

Ow. Wrist surgery. - This hurts worse than rny. Maybe because it's isolated to one small area? Dunno. I just know that I'm walking to the pharmacy in the morning to fill the dilaudid script. The leftov...

Something positive - I've been so negative about things lately that I thought I'd post something positive. Found an old pic yesterday so I wore the same shirt to compare. I don't feel any different,...

Maybe a dumb water question - No one's told me and I never asked why hydration is so important after rny. I understand that we don't get much liquid from the small amount that we can eat, but why do we have to ...

It's a Xanax for breakfast kind of day. - Trying to mend fences with my family and it's not going so well. I spoke with my mother on Facebook yesterday. Dad's not speaking to me until I apologize. I told her I deserve ...
