6 mth follow up

Oct 13, 2011

Well  I'm 6 mths post op.  Went to the Dr. last thurs.  I was so wanting to be in the 180s for my appt.  Well I was close, weight at the office was 190.0...However I was 187 this morning !!!! Dr. was very happy with my progress.  When I asked him where I should be when I see him in 3 months.  He  said he was not going to give me any numbers.  He wants me to keep doing what I'm doing. 
Then he surprised me.  He asked me to speak at his next seminar for the folks that are thinking about surgery.  I am very flattered.  However I'm nervous, and not sure what to say.  Do I take pictures? What kind of info do I share?
I feeling really well these days.  Having some problems with constipation(alot)..Trying to figure it out.  i guess it is really the lack of fiber in the diet.  Have seen some posts about chewable gummy fiber..guess I can try those.  Having a hard time getting in all my water.  I'm unable to have water at my work station( I work with radiation,, can not risk mixing those two...LOL) So I have a hard time getting it in during the work day.  I'm sure the water will help with the constipation also.  Will try to work on this more. 
Having a hard time with people telling me that I look good. It is a little embarrassing.  It's strange to hear all the good words, after years of not hearing them.  I  guess it has to do with my self image.  I know I really have to work on that....I cleaning out my closet...I have very few clothes left.  Almost everything went to goodwill...It felt so good to try thing on and they fell right off. But it was so sad to see that I have nothing left to wear.  I'm left to wear yoga pants and t shirts...I guess this will be my wardrobe for a few more months...It will be worth it in the end to go try new stuff on and look great..So I will continue to do what I am doing and hope that the next 3 months will be as wonderful as the first 6.....
