I started it on Friday morning, the 13th. I have to take it 1-2 hours before breakfast, so I take it as soon as I get up.
So far I've been on it for over three weeks. It definitely works as promised! One of the side effects is insomnia and on three recent nights, I experienced that.
I am down since I started the drug, but I am not sure how much. My follow up appointment is next week. Hopefully my doc will give me some refills, but I have to show a loss for him to approve that. In addition, I will get the results of my first bariatric blood panel where I will find out whether all my vitamins are at the right levels.
This week I also saw my regular GP, Dr. Nichols. I had regular labs done this week to find out if my cholesterol is improving. The good news is that it has improved since my last visit in December; however, he wants me to continue on the Lipitor and see me back in 6 months.
Some additional good news is that I am off high blood pressure meds for good. Yay!
My last weight was 187, which is 63 lbs lost from my HIGHEST weight of 250 in April 2014. I have gone from a size 18/XL to a 10/12 and medium tops. I am sort of in the middle of a 10 and a 12 because I have some size 10 jeans and work pants that fit me just fine but not all size 10s fit me like all size 12s do...
That is all for now!
