Hello all,
I'm Manisha Pradeep Mansabdar from Mumbai. I have been a kidney cancer survivor since 2014. When I came to the FFD office in December 2018, my HbA1C was 8.3. The doctor advised me on Glyciphage SR 500, advised me on diet and exercise, and asked me to follow up after 2 months. I took everything lightly and even neglected my health due to family problems.
From April 2024 I began taking BP medicines advised due to a sudden spike. Blood tests done that time showed everything was haywire - HbA1C was 9.7, cholesterol was not good, eGFR was 49%, uric acid was high, and creatinine was 1.15.
On 4th May I attended Dr Pramod Tripathi sir’s DRS session. He said as I was surviving on a single kidney it would be good to join immediately. I joined the FFD HTP one-year program on 6th May and my journey started. The first month was very hard, doing exercises was not in my routine. I felt hungry too, but I was mentally prepared to come out from these health issues.
FFD What’s App group managers helped me with portion size, what and how much to eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Every day posting pictures on that group helped a lot.
My doctor, Dr. Vaishali Jadhav Madam also did a splendid job. She did regular follow-ups which was great. She guided me properly and on 26th May she stopped my sugar medicines.
My Dietician Priyanka Deshmukh Madam gave me the best diet which I followed very well. Her guidance on what outside food I should choose was immensely helpful. She was constantly in touch.
My exercise expert Sayali Kale Madam guided me about exercises and provided videos of them. I had appointed a yoga teacher. That time Sayali Madam advised yoga exercises. I have started staircase climbing after my lunch. It was very hard at that time but without skipping anything I did all my exercises. I lost 23 kg.
The stoppage of tea and rice did wonders. My current weight is 72.5 kg which I would still want to reduce.
I am very happy to join the FFD program. When I go out no one recognises me. People curiously asked how I reduced this much weight. I feel so confident now. When I was 98 kg I never got good readymade clothes. Customized clothes were the only option, but now I get different types of clothes. I feel thrilled.
All my family members, especially my husband never expected this and are glad.
My sister who is in the USA has also started FFD after me. She also reduced her weight and her sugar medicines were stopped. My husband started following my diet and he also lost 6 kg. I started eating healthy food in my house. My parents' HbA1C came by 1.5 points. My second sister and her husband both started eating FFD food & Salads.
My whole family is pleased. I have completed 9 days of FFF1 on SSS and 5 days of FFF2 on SSS and I really feel very active, energetic and lightweight after doing this program. I cleared my GTT for the first time which is a big achievement for me.
My special Thanks to Dr Pramod Tripathi. He is doing great work, saving the life of diabetic patients.
Dr Malhar Ganla sir's videos are very inspiring. Sayali Kale Madam has advised me to start a Gym where I will start my new journey. I will not stop now.
Big thanks to all the FFD team without you I would have not achieved this.
