DRUG FREE

Postby Loribug » April 20th, 2006, 5:16 pm

I went to my lupus doctor today, I haven't seen her since december. When I told her that I had weaned myself off of my steroids and all the other miscellaneous drugs that I have been on for 12 years she just grinned from ear to ear. She couldn't believe it and that I had lost 55 pounds to boot! She checked me out, said everything looked great "clinically" and is checking all my labs for a final clean bill.

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone and their support. I couldn't do it without you guys.

Silver Fox, I went to take a "during picture" for you guys and my avatar and my digital camera batteries were run down! But I promise you will have a picture by next week!

Thanks again you guys!

LORIBUG,

Isn't that just the greatest news ever! Even your doctor is excited about your good news. Fifty-five pounds since December is no small accomplishment. Next time you see her, it will be even better!

I will be seeing my doctor in a couple weeks for all the blood work, annual exam, etc. and I can just imagine her reaction at my 34/36 pound loss since January, especially since she has encouraged me for years to lose weight. :shock:

It will also give me the opportunity to show her what Medifast can do for her other overweight patients. I may even take her a before and after picture so she will recognize me. :lol:

And you better believe, I will be reporting everything back to you all, as well. :coach:

Thanks for sharing the good news with us, LORIBUG! What an inspiration you are to all of us.

:heart:
Lizabette

Way to go Lori! And it sounds like you have a very supportive doctor there too. That is great, especially because you read on here pretty often about docs who are really nregative to their patience. You are doing really well, I am glad your doc can appreciate that.
