Doctor's Visit
I went to my doctor today, first time since starting LC in February. (Actually, first time in over a year, but that's a long story.) He did notice the weight loss, and when he asked what I was doing I just said "Atkins."
Paused for a moment (and I thought I was about to get flamed), then said "are you watching your nutrients?" "Yep." "Then keep it up, it's obviously working." My blood pressure is down (REALLY down!), and I am apparently in terrific health (all things considered). He took me OFF one of my BP meds, and confirmed that I'm doing all right on half my acid reducer dosage! I still want to be prescription-free by the end of this year, and when I mentioned that goal to him, he said essentially, "if it's possible, you'll see it." |
Wow, I'm so happy for you! Feels soooo good, right? I know because I had my "doctor good news" this week, too.
Congratulations! Great to know that we're doing the right thing. Take care! Alina |
Wow!
I'll bet that felt good. I think you'll be greatly surprised at how ou feel and what medications you can eliminate, once you get your weight down. Thanks for sharing that encouraging experience!
Good Luck Continuing! |
WAT TO GOOOO!!!!!

You'll do it.
I'm down from 12 meds to 2 in one year, and I was a heart patient with a triple bypass in my history. Your task should be easier. I am VERY happy for you. :thup: |
Congratulations! What wonderful benefits you're seeing in addition to the weight loss. Not only will you feel better without having to take medications, you'll be saving $$ too. Keep up the good work.
God Bless, Amy-Lynne |
GREAT JOB!!! it must be in the water this week. the doc let me off my bp med as well.
by the way, i told my doc i was doing atkins, all he said was "i could do that diet". he gave me a scrip for potassium and said good luck! |
Great job! AND every doctor who sees results like yours will have to reevaluate his opinion on Atkins! Helps all of us!
