12 week follow up

Nov 11, 2009

12 week follow up with the surgeon,  I am down 60lbs at 12 weeks (minus one day )
 *13lb of the 60 was from 2 week pre op diet.

Nurse said I am 38% weight loss achieved. If I calculate right they want me to weigh 140lb's.
      Only another 100lbs to go  

I can't find my measurements log book but when I do I will measure & post inches lost.

My A was low (25) and my D was great (74) , Iron is good right now but I want to be proactive & ordered some Proferritan ES.  I posted my labs & regimen right before this post if interested.

Had the dietitian appt too.  She says I am not eating enough, not enough fruits & veggies, I need a balanced plate every time I eat.   MAN!  I have the stomach the size of a sharpie..... and I can't cook 3 course meal to have one bite of each food group! some times a piece of string cheese is just going to have to do it! She also said I should not be afraid of any food, carbs etc.  and if I get gas then it is most likely from too much fat. 

On the bathroom front: I mainly go in the a.m. , once in while in p.m. , they are formed. 

I have felt good from about a week post op. I notice that I am able to eat a bite or 2 more each month and tolerate more carbs some days.  I sure hope the weight keeps coming off.  It is slow but I will take it.  Oh yeah & I need to start exercising. . . . ..

I THANK GOD for this site and everyone on it.
