[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 185624, member: 1991"] Sharon, the beach sounds lovely. Enjoy! I've dropped a bit more weight - I'm down to 77-78 Kg now, which means I've lost roughly 20 Kg (44 pounds) in five and a half months. The aim was to not only lose weight but also to get my liver in better shape as well as get further back from the precipice of Type II diabetes. OK, the weight is down. The liver - the doctor did some tests a week ago and the liver is better, but still not good. Before the weight loss GGT was in the high 800s. Now it's in the 400s. I don't know what the insulin resistance is, but fasting glucose was a little lower which is a good sign (still normal - it was normal before, but on the high side of normal). The pills I'm on cost a lot, and I'm running out of clothes that fit. Even new clothes I've bought are now too big. I haunt op-shops and sales. My blood pressure is starting to go up. If it gets much higher, I have to go off the pills. Once I go off the pills, the extreme diet has to stop and the weight will go back up a bit then should stabilise (according to what I read). I see the gastroenterologist in a month. That will be interesting! Marg [/QUOTE]
