Well I had my 6 mos appointment yesterday and all was good. I met with the LS doctor not the surgeon anymore I guess. They passed me on to her and she will track me from now on. I also met with the dietitian and she is great.

I know now I need to be at around 800 to 1000 calories to maintain my weight and between 60-75 of protein to stay healthy. They said I did not need to lose anymore, but still may slowly. That is OK with me as I am happy where I am now. The surgeon never gave me a goal weight I decided for 140 and the dietitian suggested 130 and I am right in the middle of that now.

The Doctor did suggest I take Vitamin A, that mine was on the border of the low side. So that is one more thing I need to find. I am so happy I made this decision and it has made my life so much better for me and my family. Ms V does not tire me out so fast anymore.

You Go Girl! I was having a blast chasing Jayden around this weekend. To be able to chase a 7 year old around outside (all I wanted to do was to wipe some gross dog slobber on him!) and laugh while doing it was totally cool!

Congratulations Dolores! You need to give yourself a big pat on the back. You have done remarkably well. Do you find you can eat a little more now or do you still fill up really fast?

Elizabeth. I can eat more but it depends on the density of the food. But, mostly my eyes are bigger than my stomach. Poor DH has been eating my leftovers. He seems to be enjoying it or we share a meal.
