Fabulous Dr. Check Up since surgery

I was so nervous waiting to see the doctor today. Today the medical director Dr. Stiles of the Bariatric Department of S.S.F. Kaiser says I'm doing fabulous..... I past the test with all the questions she ask about protein, iron, medications etc. And she asked if I had ever dumped and what caused it. I told her I never throw-up but did dumped twice the other way once on a protein bar and the other time on one bite of fried fish. And what type of foods I would eat on a normal day. And of course she asked abou****er intake........At least 64oz. a day. I told her 64 oz. is nothing I usually get that in every day plus. She asked if i had any questions... I asked her about blood tests. Since my main doctor only checked my cholesterol, diabetic numbers, and thyroid numbers. She was going to check my iron. I had told her the bariatric nurse increased my iron last month when I had a cold and added me on Zinc and Vitamin C....The Vitamin C and Zinc is okay to take. It won't hurt. But she said lets check your iron you might be taking to much 18gms plus 29 gms a day chewable. I see her back at my 6 month check. 48.5 pounds since surgery in 2 months 3 weeks I asked her if I was on track and she smiled and said no one is the same we all have differnect body structures and family history. Also if you follow the plan and eat protein first and don't drink and eat at the same time. Making sure drink your water intake and take your vitamins. And try not to snack or eat to many carbs or fat you will do okay. But you know that I can see it in your before picture shots and the scale..She said don't count on the scale to reward you. I said what....? The scale is not the only way of measuring your weight lost....Taking your Measurements, your energy level, blood tests, and mass. I felt pretty good after taking to her.....She said if i needed anything to just drop by or I can make a appt with her.......I wish all doctor would give you the time of day. Oh I also asked if I needed to attend those support meetings every tuesday and every third saturday....I don't think so YOu have shown you know what to do. If you feel you need to come back any time for support or a question asked then that is up to you......You look Great... What a nice doctor....................... Have a nice day........................... suzan
