2nd post-op appt

May 15, 2009

Yesterday I had my second post op appointment.  It went pretty well.  I didn't lose as much as I wanted, but I'm learning what I can and can't do and so I do feel I'm making progress.  Dr. Woodman has said time and time again to only eat a "saucer" of food.  I didn't see him this time, I saw his NP.  So she told me the same thing he's always told me.  Finally I asked what they considered a saucer of food and she tells me it's a tea cup saucer.  Silly me, I thought it was just a regular saucer of food.  So I've been eating too much!

I lost 6lbs in 5 weeks so that's 27lbs total in 12 weeks.  I have lost 14% of my excess body weight which I was very happy about.  She did give me another fill and I can defininatly tell it.  I can ONLY eat that tea cup saucer of food now before being full.  I think this is the sweet spot I hear about.  I hope it is anyway.

I go back to the doctor on June 11th for my 3rd post op.  I hope to have lost another 10lbs by then.
