3 month check up 10/6/09
I am soooo nervous about my 3 month check up on 10/6/09 with my surgeon. I have been taking my vitamins, I just haven't been good with my protein intake. I'm really nervous my lab work is going to come back low or something. I've been dreading this day because I know I don't take my protein like I should. I get in about 20-30g a day. I just can't seem to fit in any more. As of today I've lost 81 lbs in 3 months 3 weeks. I'm not concerned about my weight loss, I think my surgeon will be pleased with it as am I, but I can't stop stressing about my lab work. Is this normal? Did any of you experience the same issues.
Wow you are doing great.
Have you tried using a supplement to bump up your protein? There is a pretty good pudding (i freeze it and eat like frozen yogurt) that has 33 grams of protein in it. I use that and a latte or other protein drink with 30 gram to get 60 grams in a day. Sometimes I only do one and try to get the rest from real food.
Don't stress.....whatever comes up can be worked on.

Well i had my appt and it went well I guess. I thought the nut was going to draw my blood levels but I guess not. I was honest about my protein and he definately said I needed to work on it. 60-70g a day minimum. He said I didn't have to take my Iron but how does he know that for sure if he didn't draw any blood. He said he wasn't going to draw any blood until 1 yr post op. Werid? He was very happy about my weight loss and said he would like for me to weigh between 170-180. So I'm half way there. Wooohoooo!
