Surgeon Testimonial

Jay Jan
Dr. Jan is a nice doctor and he listened to my concerns about surgery. I was really nervous on my surgery day but after meeting with him in the morning I felt very relaxed and felt like I was in good hands. The surgery went well and when I saw him the next morning he basically let me decide when I wanted to leave the hospital and let me make the decisions on what I wanted to do according to how I was feeling. Great surgeon!!

**August 4, 2006: It has been about three weeks since I updated my profile on OH. I weighed myself today and I was 262 so that makes a loss of 37 pounds since surgery. This week was a real challenge for me. I was gone out of town on business for three days. I didn't realize how hard it was to eat when you are out of town and have to eat out at all your meals. I eanded up going to the deli and getting some sliced turkey and cheese and making some roll ups for dinner each night. I ate for three days on about .00 for the total time...that's a first! When I was out of town I even exercised and did laps in the pool at the hotel. I am feeling really good the last couple of weeks. There is still one priority problem I have to deal with...I have to find some sort of hobby to keep me busy when I am at home on the weekends and in the evenings. When my husband and my son are both gone I am just so bored and I keep going to the fridge and looking for food. I don't eat nothing but I make many trips back and forth to the kitchen. I have never had the time or the energy in the past to have a hobby but now I need to find something I can get into. I am thinking about attending a karate class I heard about in my town. I am a little nervous cause of how I look and I am just sure that everyone else will be mega skinny there...just me being self conscious. I will keep you updated on what I find out about the class.

**August 11, 2006: Today's weight was 258...that's down 4 pounds in the last week. I have been feeling good but having a hard time with all the vitamins. Some of the pills are really big and hurt my throat when I swallow them. I have tried crushing the calcium but that is so gross. I guess I am left to trying the chewable Citracal. The total calories I will be eating with the calcium will be 140 but that means I will have to bump up my exercise to accomodate the increase. I know I have to take the vitamins so I don't see any other choice. I am still having a hard time getting in all my protein especially when most things don't taste very good. Also, I have been having this feeling that I am never hungry and it is a struggle to remember to eat. I am still doing water aerobics but I have been laxed on the treadmill and not doing what I should be doing. But that now needs to stop! I need to get back on track with my exercise, take my vitamins and eat all my protein each day. My goal for the coming week is to follow the above plan each day and see how that goes.

**August 18, 2006: Weight today is 253...down 5 pounds since last week. 

**August 25, 2006: Weight today is 250..down another 3 pounds since last week. I am little over two months post op and from the chart of weight loss I found on OH I am pretty much on track. I know that if I can start back on my exercise after I get done moving I should have a good weight loss. I haven't been feeling very hungry this week so it has been a chore to get my protein in. I know I haven't got it rom my regular food so I have been eating a half of a protein bar for each of my snacks.
