cher40rie reacted to BrickHouse in Albany, New York....?
I had my 3 month check today. Everything was SO much improved! My A1c went from over 12 to 6.5! My glucose went from high 300s to 113! I am down 53 pounds and I even went to the gym today! I had to keep my momentum going today since I won't be able to MOVE tomorrow! LOL!
Kyle, glad you are going to see Dr. T. His staff is very helpful. I dealt with Nick a lot. He was great. Chelsea is new, but she is also very helpful.

Hey everyone, hope all is well. Today I called the doctors office and found out I was approved a month ago. They said they called me but I never got anything. April 28th is the day! So excited and nervous!

cher40rie reacted to AmyV in 1.5 weeks out, first restaurant trip
Had surgery 2/26 and am still in liquid phase. Husband made last minute plans with friends for dinner. I was a bit freaked out. I drank half a Protein Shake on the way to the restaurant and then ordered a cup of corn chowder. It ended up being more chunky than I expected but I was able to skim the broth off the top and act normal. Friends commented wondering if Soup was ok and I just let them know I was eating a lot less these days. I SURVIVED!!! And I'm a cheap date at $2.99!!!

Good for you Amy! My husband and I went out a week after surgery with Friends and I was a big ol baby and just had Water lol. I'm five months out and I can't do corn at all, but love my clam chowder, picking the potatoes out . I'm down over 100 pounds since surgery date of October 7, 2013. Welcome to the sleeve side and keep up the good work!

I am going to get my cats portrait (I have one of my other cat as well). I am going to do my dad's senior picture portrait and I am going to get some cheetah prints on my shoulder with a inside phrase between my family. Maybe I can post a pic of my other cat tattoo

Wow everyone is doing awesome. Brick how you feeling Hun? Kyle you look freaking awesome! Cherie good luck with all the paperwork, it's one hell of a ride but it's worth it. Right now I've been working my butt off and after eating crap for two days BC I was out of town... I actually lost weight and got over my stall. Go figure! I think I was being too strict. Oh well... Life is good and I have three upcoming tattoo appointments to show for that... Sooo excited.

Everything is fine. Went to Doctors today and met with doctor and results from testing look good. Problem....? Well it's stress. Turns out not only is stress bad for you as well all know, but it's very bad after having Bariatric surgery. Need to keep the stress levels down and go from there. Meet with head doctor on Monday. Hope everyone is going well.

~Update~
I am somewhere where I never thought I would be. Four months ago day of sleeve I was over 250 pounds. I do not weigh myself at home, I consider the scale my enemy, so I only weigh in at doctors. Well, I am now not only in 'onederland', but then then half of it! Weighed in today at 147!!! The sleeve was and is the best decision I have ever made! Think of you guys and wishing you nothing but success!
