Re: BU: Dr. Appt 2

  • Believe me Kim I understand what you are going through.. My levels are crazy also and I am about 80 lbs heavier than when we got married just 2 short years ago.. Yup 80 friggin pounds.. My vitamin D levels are 16 when they should be around 165.. I have been taking 50,000 units of Vitamin D once a week for the past 6 months and no change yet.. I am also pre diabetic and since I had gestational diabetes I am well aware of the finger prick tests 10 times a day and the insulin needles 9 times a day.. You would think that would scare me.. Nope haven't been able to loose an ounce since I gave birth.. If you need to talk or want a pep talk from a crazy New Yorker, let me know.. I will be right behind you..  
  • Yikes, those numbers are scary but it's good you have the information now! I don't think it's up to anyone to say what you should or shouldn't do. You have to make the decisions you feel are right for you. I mean, at least you're doing everything under educated supervision.

    Is Kevin on board? What about your immediate family? It will help for them to help keep you motivated to follow doctor's orders.?

  • Sorry I'm late on this Geo. I'm really proud of you. I think it's totally safe to go 10 days without meat as long as you're getting your protein from someplace else...hence your protein shakes. I'll be really excited to hear about your progress as you do this!
