UNDER DR A. Weight Goal.......

Good morning Everybody, I went to see Elise (dietican) and weighted myself ( remember I do not weight myself at home and took my trianer's advice to try on smaller pant than weight yourself). I was very surrprised to see I weighted 16 pounds less than Dr Aranow's goal weight. Now They tell me STOP LOSE WEIGHT!! on my 9 months since I had this surgery. I am not used to hear this word because in the past The doctors and everybody keep telling me losing your weight..... They want me to maintain my weight now and explained to me once I had Tummy Tuck and I will probably losing about 15 pounds from extra skin from my stomach. Also They do not want me to get sick for underweight from my body. She will tell Dr Aranow to email me about this. I will see Dr Aranow for check up in Oct where It will be one year anniversary. I am trying to eat more up to 1200 calories. Elise said She can tell how look good from my body because of my muscles toner showed from my body and is very proud of me to work hard for this. This late Fall, I will start to research for plastic surgery doctor and will interview and meet him/her before I pick one of them to be my doctor for next Summer. Execerise everyday, having trainer three times a week, eat healthy foods with NO CARBS, keep using my tools helped me to reach my goal. I thank you to all of you to support me before , during and after surgery and now I will be very happy to help pre op people for their surgery or need her/his support. I keep pinched myself if it is true and was little crying in my car before I go to post op meeting. I shared this new with people at Post op meeting last night!!

Hi Linnie, Yes I always bring bottle of water or propel with me all the time and sip and sip all day everyday . Have you try to sip from the bottle instead of drink some of fluid in ? Try different kind of water... Frui****er, Propel or simple smart milk , Nectar Ice tea ( my favorite) etc.. Email me private then I will be happy to help you with intake Hugs Kathy K
