Saw Dr. Paya today.

The nutritionist assigned to me was ill, so they asked if I would reschedule. I told them no. My labs were already in and they were stellar, so I figure I am doing a good job. Dr. Paya was not concerned.

My sugars are normal. My A1C is 5.5. My cholesterol is under 200 for the very first time! All mineral counts were OK. I am healthy as a horse...AND...

I no longer qualify for WLS! I have a BMI under 40 (38.8) and I have no co-morbidities! I told Dr. Paya this and he said, "Yep. That is why we do what we do!"

My daughter (12 y.o.) named my pouch today.

We were at a hawaiian BBQ joint and i was having a shredded bunless pork sandy with sauce on the side, and cole slaw. I ate a little more than half the meat and a couple forkfuls of the slaw and I said, "I am full. Pouchy may get grouchy."

She said that Pouchy isn't a good name, and came up with Nafoo.

Nafoo?

Yeah...No Food...NaFoo!

Ok, then. I guess it is NaFoo!
