Guest guest Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 Before surgery, Randy was on insulin and 27 pills a day. He took cholesterol, blood pressure diabetic and God knows what. He now takes 1 glucophage and 2 actos a day for diabetes, along with his vitamins. No insulin. Blood pressure....great! Cholesterol....great! Vitamin levels....great! No hair loss.He has never dumped, never gotten sick from eating or smelling food, he has lost 80 pounds since orientation, 65 since surgery on August 2. He eats anything, but if it's not a good thing....like BBQ ribs (and only twice in four months!), only a bite and then the rest of the meal is good nutririon. He never feels hungrey or deprived, he doesn't crave food. He eats cuz it's meal time. UCLA makes you lose weight, but often not all 10%. Insulin makes it very hard to lose weight. He is now a size 38 pants, well he will be once we buy them, now he's in a baggy size 40. A XL shirt that isn't skin tight. Quite a difference from the 46 pants and 3XL shirts that he used to wear tight. We know your struggle, and pray for your good health! Remember to take good care of yourself post op! Don't do anything even one day earlier than you should! Not all people are lucky enough to get a second chance at good health, you are so lucky to get to change your life for the positive and with such positive friends like we have in this group! I have my surgery on Wednesday, November 30, I'm feeling nervous and excited all at once! I'll be walking the daylights out here in Palmdale on your surgery day! But just know that you will be in our hearts all day! Hugs!!!!! Sue in Palmdale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
