2nd Doctor's visit

So i called back into the doctor's office yesterday. I was semi nervous because she was going on and on about my vitamin levels at the first appointment. I thought she was going to tell me something horrible. But! It wasn't too bad and i got to weight in again and this time the numbers read 234! Can you believe it? 4 pounds just like that! That lifted my spirits and I walked into the exam room forgetting all my fears. So the Doctor came in and she went over all my blood work. And the only thing she told me I didn't already know was I have a very serious Vitamin D deficiency. And the over the counter pills will not help. So i have to take prescription Vitamin D. I had the lady print out my blood work so I can keep track and maybe share it with all of you! I know! It's so exciting! I'm just that giving! Also it finally happened. The thing my mom has been waiting for. The thing that she has had Dr. after Dr. check all my life because she was so sure I had, has happened to me. I have low thyroid. It runs in the  family and it is directly related to weight loss and gain. :\ I'm kinda bummed about it. 


Drum roll please!

  1. I went to the doc last week and had my lipid panel done and the results were:

    cholesterol 165 mg/dL
    triglyceride 61 mg/dL
    HDL 44 mg/dL
    LDL 109 mg/dL
    Very LDL 12 mg/dL

    Keep up the good work and can't wait to see the numbers in 6 weeks.

  3. Actually it should be as close to the .30 to feel the best.
