Just had follow up blood work done, specifically to test for Vitamin D and A1C levels - pre surgery my Vitamin D was at 10, now at 29 (recommended is 30+). My A1C was at 7%, now at 5.8% (7 is diabetic and 5.8 is pre-diabetic). Feels so great to moving myself outside of the dangers that come with diabetes! Fortunately all my other numbers were good.

And, I have just donated 10 bags of professional clothing that no longer fits me and my closets are empty.

I want to thank the posters of these Forums - I don't fear the stalls (had a week 5 one, others to come no doubt), I am tracking everything, relate to the # on the scale as a tool to assess what's working and what's not working and feel great. I am proud to have lost 30% of my excess weight and can't believe what has gotten accomplished in the past two months!!!!!

Life is a privilege!

Congrats!!! I know how happy you must be with those numbers.

I can't wait to have my A1C tested in November. I am off all of my meds and my bs are normal now.

Hey, congratulations! Feels great, doesn't it?

That's so great. Im so stoked for you.

OMG Congratulations!!!!!!!!!! That is fantastic! I love hearing this. I'm 9 months post op and am in the last home stretch I think, I'm guessing maybe another 40 to lose. It feels amazing!! I'm so happy for you, congratulations, That blood work coming back must make you feel like a million bucks!!

Wow! Now that's something to celebrate!
