3 Month Post Op

Apr 22, 2011

Well I went to see the bariatrician for my 3 month follow up. All but 2 of my labs were normal. Prior to surgery I was pre diabetic and now my levels are normal. My B12 was high and that was due to me taking to much of it (oops) and my Ferritin was high so he is going to keep an eye on it other than that he was very pleased. He did lecture me on stepping up my exercising, he said if I don't want to exercise after 1 year that's fine but for the next 9 months I have to kick it up and get off as much as I can during this crucial time. Sooooooooo I have started my Richard Simmons again and then my Gazelle. I asked my grandson if he wanted to do Richard Simmons with me last night and he said yes, I think he was expecting a wimpy workout and it does start out slow (warm up) but when we peaked I looked over and he was sweating and huffing and puffing, it was hilarious, he did say it was a good work out. I must admit I do feel better afterwards but I HATE EXERCISING and I really don't know why. I'm hoping my mentality will change with time but I keep pushing myself. I have lost 78 lbs so far and feel fantastic! My next goal is to hit my half way point so I have 25 lbs to go. Go me!
