About Me
- Christine
- Honolulu, Hawaii, United States
- This was me about 4 years ago: I am a beginning my journey towards a healthy life through gastric bypass surgery. I have a 37 BMI with commodities of diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. I know that the diabetes will be tremendously affected by the surgery. The side effect of weight loss could also include lower blood pressure. My high cholesterol could also see some positive changes. Well, it worked! my A1c was 4.7 at my last appointment May 2014). My doctor said "You do not have diabetes". "Your cholesterol is perfect", she said. I did develop some good habits, but I still love food. Cheese, chips, wine, bread...and with that came my 15 lbs. So I am now doing the Fast Metabolism Diet. I am on day 3, I have lost 2 lbs. in two days. I feel lighter, and more energetic. I do miss cheese, though.
