Follow-Ups with The Nut & Physical Therapist

Jun 07, 2011

I had my six month follow-up appointments with the physical therapist and nutritionist yesterday.  They were pleased and I was pleased so it was a big pleasedfest.  The prior concern of muscle mass loss is no longer an issue.  Pumping iron the last three months diligently and taking the supplements they recommended helped bounce it back.  The physical therapist was elated with my body comp and told me to keep up the great work.  The nutritionist had no recommendations for me other than continue what I was doing.  She said I've adopted the behaviors they try to instill.  One of the key things is I keep track of my food, exercise and nutrients in my iPhone app My Net Diary.  It makes tracking calories, protein, water and so on very easy.  They don't need to see me for another six months which will be one year post-op.  I feel a little weird about going that long without follow-up, but I can call them anytime I want.  I'd mainly be interested in seeing the physical therapist as I like knowing the body comp.  However, the doctor's office will do that as well and I can always have the trainer at the gym do it.
