The non-photo before/after - todays health markers

Got my labs back this morning and my A1c and cholesterol are both better than they were when I started compounded sema, even before the scale hit 31 lbs down. The nurse practitioner actually said my numbers look like a different person than a year ago. Curious what non-scale wins others have seen in their bloodwork or blood pressure numbers.

My blood pressure cuff stopped flashing the high warning at me, which honestly felt bigger than the scale moving. Did your liver panel change too or just the a1c and cholesterol?

My resting heart rate dropped into the low 60s, which I noticed on my watch before any labs changed. Did your bp come down too or just the cholesterol side?

Did your liver enzymes come down too? Mine did before anything else budged, and nobody warned me that would be the first thing to move.

My liver enzymes were the thing that moved first, years of borderline numbers and they came back clean before I'd dropped much at all. What did your NP say about how often to recheck?

my liver enzymes were the surprise, they'd been flagged for a couple years and came back clean at my last draw. Did your np say anything about how fast the a1c moved or was it just the general "different person" comment?

Curious whether the A1c moved first or the cholesterol, mine came down together but the glucose side lagged a bit.

. Curious whether your triglycerides moved at all in that same draw.

Blood pressure was the one that surprised me, my home cuff readings dropped well before my waistline changed at all

Curious whether your triglycerides came down alongside the cholesterol, mine did and that was the one my doctor actually cared about.

My blood pressure cuff readings have been creeping down too, which I honestly did not expect this early. Did your nurse say anything about how often to recheck the lipids?

My blood pressure was the first thing to budge, way before any of the lipid stuff caught up. Kind of wild which marker decides to move first for each of us

My resting heart rate dropped about ten beats according to my watch, which I did not expect at all. Did your nurse say anything about whether the lipid stuff keeps improving as you stay on it?

What did your triglycerides do? Mine came down a lot but the A1c barely budged at my last draw, so I'm wondering if that one just lags longer

My blood pressure was the one that surprised me, it came down well before my weight really moved. Still waiting on my next lipid panel to see if the triglycerides follow

My liver enzymes were the thing that surprised me, they'd been creeping up for years and came back clean at my last draw. That was honestly a bigger deal to me than the number on the scale

my liver enzymes were the surprise, ALT went from borderline scary to normal range. Kind of wild that the inside stuff shifts first

My liver enzymes came down a lot at my last draw, which I honestly didn't expect since I was mostly watching the scale. Did your HDL move at all or just the LDL?

my blood pressure came down enough that my gp halved one of my meds, which honestly surprised me more than the scale stuff. Did your np say anything about revisiting your doses?

What did your bp readings look like before versus now? Mine hasn't budged yet even a little, so I'm curious whether that one just takes longer
