February 13th, 2017 The Doctor Appointment

Today I went to the Dr appointment to get the medical ok to participate in the program.

I really enjoyed the Dr.  We really hit it off.  Anyhow, all my bloodwork came back fine, except the glucose...  Well, what timing, I have crossed to line to pre-diabetic.  It is time for this diet.

She is discontinuing the prescriptions I have taken for years of a water pill and potassium that goes with it.  Because I will be drinking 1 gallon of water per day she doesn't want me to be on a diuretic.

She is discontinuing the prescription I have taken for years for high blood pressure and will be giving me another prescription that I am not to start until I start the diet food.

My weight was taken, with shoes and clothes  189
My height - 5'1"
A picture of me was taken.

We went over all the info  on the diet and the Doctor has given her ok.  She will be following me, along with another doctor through the whole process.  She has set a goal of 150 lbs to reach.  She said I should not have any problems reaching that goal and maybe more.  She will be monitoring to make sure I am not loosing too fast or too slowly as per my health.


I will be getting a card in the mail for the meeting that actually starts the diet.  One person mentioned will won't be starting on the diet food until the next week.  This meeting will lay out all the practical things we will need to do starting the next week.
