Went to the Doc today for my 4 week check up. I am off all my blood pressure meds and my BP is very good. My blood sugar is normal with no intervention. My weight is down 29 lbs in 4 weeks. I feel good! The few bad days I have had are chalked up to life in adjustment and will fade as time goes on. It is strange to learn to listen to my body again, ( Read more... )

Is the good news about your BP directly related to the weight loss? I guess I'm asking if you had high BP before the surgery.

Congratulations on the loss! That's a fantastic start!

Arthritis sucks...and I speak from experience.

My lemon trees are blooming!

I am on glucosamine with chondrotin & msn twice a day for my knee and it does help. It is not a pain reliever however so not sure if it will help the pain you are having.

Good for you....29 lbs down and all systems are go!

Way to go!!!!!!!!!

I was on it before but have to see if it is compatible with my remodeled tummy. The lower back, hips and knees are all because of the limp I have with the bad knee. I am hoping it will help. Thanx Cathi!

I hope it does too. I know it has helped me.

Pain is such a bummer! I'm glad you can play in the garden in spite of it! I'm glad you were able to lose weight after your surgery. Doesn't it slow down your metabolism, though?

I'd like to lose about 80 lbs. I think I have to do that on my own, though!

I have been there done that with dieting a million times but it always came back with friends! So far I haven't noticed it slowing down but I am trying to exercise as much as I can. Hugz
