3 Months out and doing great!!!

Jan 14, 2009

Today, I had my 3 month post op appointment.  I only met with the nutritionist.  My BMI is now 29.1   I am now considered over weight and not obese or morbidly obese as I was when I started this whole journey.  That makes me so happy.  The nutritionist asked what I was thinking about as a goal weight.  I told her about 135 - 140.  She said if I lost another 20 lbs, they would consider me at a healthy goal.  Can you belive that, only 20 more pounds.  Holy moly!!!!! 

As of today, I have lost 45 pounds since the day of surgery and a total of 78 pounds since starting the whole process in June 2008.  I feel great. 

I haven't heard anything about the bloodwork which I had.  The nurse is due to call me today or tomorrow to go over it. 

I still have some issues with my fluid intake during the course of the day and getting in all my protein but I'm working on that. 

My husband and I are going up to Alaska this coming summer.  We'll be going to Kodiak Island for 4 or 5 days.  I want to go kayaking and do some hiking.  I will actually feel comfortable getting in to a kayak.
