Six Month Check Up (acutally Seven Months)
Hello Wonderful Januarians:
Had my six month check up on Friday (actually it's been seven month since surgery) and the doctor was very pleased with my progress and my bloodwork came out healthy. She said she didn't have anything to tell me to do because I was doing everything on target. One thing she did add into my daily vitamin intake was B1. She said it prevents nerve damage after surgery which also leads to memory loss. [Okay that explains my brain freeze moments at times - ha.] It's something new that Kaiser So. San Francisco is having their bypass patients do now. Just wanted share that information with all you good people. I take one pill a day of the B1 (100 mgs.). (This is in addition to our B-12s.) My next check up will be a year after surgery.
Anyways, I still have about 50 more pounds to lose but it's all good at this point! One thing I did this weekend, which may be a big danger to me personally, I went to In and Out Burger and got a single protein burger with cheese. It was so delicious I even wanted another one. I don't think a burger ever tasted so good in my life. Hee. Gotta stay away from that place or I'll definitely be in big trouble!
