Health update

[Magicbob]

First let me thanks everyone for the prayers and messages of support.

This week I met with both the cardiologist and the bariatric doctors.

We have been chasing a heart problem for over a year, 1 surgery, 7 cardioversions, and numerous drugs changes. Well good news, it's been about a month sense the last procedure and I am still in sinus rhythm!

The weight doc started me on a high protein/low carb diet the week before Thanksgiving, with the holidays it was hard to stay on and some days I failed, but I am still trying. I started with a weight of 349 lbs and I am down 30 lbs so far.

Now with the heart cooperating, maybe when the weather breaks I can get outside and be more active, hopefully we can get to 250 lbs by the end of summer.

Thanks again.

Congratulations with your weight loss success and I wish you continued success. Keep up the good work and hopefully the cardiac issues will solve themselves.

Take care and God Bless.

You pedal, I'll turn.

Hang in there and keep doing what is suggested by the Docs. I survived a serious heart attack in 2015. It took some time to get adjusted to a new life style but it can be done. I'm about 99.99% back to what I was before (I had zero signs and warnings until that moment when it hit)....I just can not do things as long as I used to do them. It took me about just over a month to be able to walk without any type support for more than a few steps. Now we walk a couple miles a few times a week. I still love to look at completed pens on here LOL I even get out and turn some myself

You can do it
