Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | (show all) Heather Was Right -- AGAIN!       #56930 - 04/01/04 02:57 PM Edit Reply Quote Bevvy Reged: 11/04/03 Posts: 5918 Loc: Northwest Washington State Bless you, Heather! Just got back from the doc appt. Hubby went in with me this time. I'VE LOST 3 POUNDS IN ONLY 2 WEEKS!! Doc was ecstatic! I was flabberghasted, jumping up and down, hooting and hollering -- I created quite a scene. How'd I do it, you ask? Well, it was Heather's doing. 2 weeks ago she suggested to me that I cut out sugaaaaa. And that's what I did. Okay, okay, so I had a little honey in my tea, but we're talkin' SUGAAAAA!! Cut it out, and 2 weeks later I'm 3 pounds down! I am flyin' so high right now, I don't even need a Jack! Okay, the cholesterol is a little high, but the doc is so pleased about my weight loss, and he said he can clearly see how hard I've been working at it -- I had food diaries, I had research on flax seed oil, I had my blood pressure chart -- I went prepared, folks, I mean PREPARED! He was very impressed. And that's why he DID NOT PUT ME ON ANY MORE MEDS for my cholesterol! Yaay! He said he's convinced if I can drop those 20 pounds we'll see that cholesterol come down too. He's given me 3 months to do it. AND I CAN SOOOOO DO IT! Thanks, Heather! You're THE BEST! -------------------- <img src="http://home.comcast.net/~letsrow/smily3481.gif">Bevvy Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Yeah for Bevrs!!!!!!!!!       #56931 - 04/01/04 03:00 PM Edit Reply Quote crampgirl Reged: 02/23/04 Posts: 514 Keep up the good work!

I'm so happy to hear that, I'm beside myself! Your persistence paid of, girl! And now no meds. I can't believe it, but I can. I get the impression you're quite stubborn and you set your mind to this.

I was so nervous about the appointment, I deliberately didn't eat anything beforehand, and took an Equalactin and a Gas-X (I was passing gas like crazy!). Sitting in his office, we were going over my meds and my chart, and boy did I ever have to fart! I squeezed my legs, grinded my teeth, and the blood raised up to my face ..... oooh, it was tough ..... I couldn't go to the bathroom, not in the middle of his "schtick" -- and then he told me the good news. And guess what? I totally forgot about the gas pains! Totally! They completely left me. I was fine! In fact, I was jumping up and down! It wasn't until I got back out to the car and pulled out my keys that it dawned on me: hey, what happened to the gas!? Amazing. -------------------- <img src="http://home.comcast.net/~letsrow/smily3481.gif">Bevvy Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Thanks Guys -- But I Forgot To Tell You --       #56962 - 04/01/04 04:29 PM Edit Reply Quote chinagrl Reged: 12/18/03 Posts: 2439 Ha ha ha... where did it go?

REALLY? Gee, I can't remember that far back. It seems like YEARS. What do you remember? Was I a total dork, or what? (I was scared.) I love The Happy Dance. You know who I like to see do it the most? Woody Harrelson. Remember him doing that dance on "Cheers"? He cracked me up. Yeah, I'm doin' it today, you bet! Hubby says he thinks I'm finally on the right track now. Oh! And I forgot to tell everyone -- my mind isn't on straight today -- the doc has set up an appointment for me with a nutritionist. Boy, do I have a lot of questions to ask HER!
