Surgeon Testimonial

Randal Baker
My fist impression of Dr. Baker was that he was very nice. He answered all my questions and was very straight-forward and honest. He is a very capable doctor. I loved everyone at MMPC. They were all kind and supportive and enthusiastic.

He did discuss the risks of surgery but told me I'd be an ideal candidate. He has a very structured aftercare program. I would rate him 10 out of 10.

Nov 8, 2004: I'm over 2 weeks out now. I have had yogurt, pudding, and Wendy's Chili (blended up). I even had mashed potatoes. I've also tried crackers with Peanut butter. Everything has gone down OK. Still struggling to get all my water in. Having a bit of trouble with depression but I think that has to do more with me staying home all the time with 2 toddlers than anything else.

Nov 28, 2004: Geez I'm having problems eating lately. I have been eating/snacking too much. Having all that Thanksgiving food around is hard. It's finally all gone now. Thank goodness. I haven't been journaling very good, still need to work on my water, and haven't been exercising. Feeling like there is no help for me. Not if I don't start acting like I've had the surgery. Of course at 5 weeks out my portions are small but I'm not getting enough protein in compared to carbs. For example I have a tiny piece of turkey but 2 TB each of mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, stuffing, and a roll with butter. I hate writing it down it makes me feel so stupid. I need to be working on NEW habits like eating more protein and less of anything else and exercising and drinking more water. ahhhhh. I can't believe this is the "honeymoon" period. Some days are better than others. The past 2 have been so hard but maybe that was from Thanksgiving and my mom going into the hospital. She just got out today. I'm turning 30 on Tuesday. Just got to get it together.
