I saw Dr. Bacal last Monday, the 9th, and he was pleased with how I've been doing. My labs are all good, but my weight loss is a little on the slow side. I'm still having trouble getting in 800 calories a day, but he says just 800 a day is OK with him. I will be three months out tomorrow. It doesn't seem like it.It's amazing how much better I feel. I remember when I first tried walking after surgery that I wanted to get in a 20 minute walk, but pooped out after 15 minutes. Now I walk 2-1/2 miles daily carrying hand weights. The dr wants me to increase not my time walking, but how far I walk within the 40 minutes. I'm working on it!
At last I seem to be getting in my groove with the whole eating, drinking, 30-minute wait issue. I ended up setting the timer on the stove to keep me on track. Just waiting for it to become second nature to me.
