So much has changed in my health since my surgery in May 2012.
I am down a grand total of 53.5 pounds
I am off ALL BLOOD PRESSURE Meds !!! ( this alone is a HUGE accomplishment )
My Kidneys have made a dramatic turn around in 6 Months my protein in my urine dropped from 1261.00 Mcg to 697 and I was called today by my PCP that from 7/29/2012 to today my Protein dropped again to 225 mcg.
Its amazing the power of weight loss ( and Losartan )
I feel good, I look better than I ever had.
But I didn't realize all that I was missing.
The best part for me other than the Bp/Kidney changes are the fact that I have been "shopping" in my closet. I have been wearing more skirts, dresses and shirts from two plus years ago because I can !! I forgot that I had them, and they fit well !!
There is nothing like hearing you look good. Don't get me wrong, I have so much more to lose, at least another 60 pounds, but this is such an awesome start, I will NEVER go back.
Even my Kidney Dr told me that I could start having kids in a year or two based on these results, but I have decided that Its not worth losing my kidneys, or health just to say that the baby is "mine"
Once you adopt a baby it's yours for life. So I did not see the need for any change. I do not want to jeopardize my future health or bury another child because I thought I had a chance. Safe and healthy is the new way for me.
