Follow Up Appt. Results

Attended my follow-up appt today.  I got fussed because I am not getting in a enough protein ... I deserved the fussing.  I will work on that.  I also was diagnosed with thrush.  So like a newborn, I have to take the thrush meds for 10 days.  I am healing well and everything looks on target. The best news though - 18 more pounds gone forever!!!!  I have lost a total of 51.5 pounds since March 3rd.  I just cannot wait to start seeing the difference.  YEA!!!

Isn't thrush like a yeast infection in your mouth?  That could be part of the ketosis, yucky mouth feeling that you've been having too.   Protein first girl...you know that.  Use your protein shakes as a crutch until you can eat your 60 grams of protein a day.  That was one of my first goals was to be able to eat 60 g not drink them.  I still have to have a shake 1 to 2X per week when I get off schedule or didn't track well enough to be sure. Wow, 51 pounds.  That is awesome.  You strut your stuff girl!

Yep, it is a yeast infection in the mouth. I likely got it from the antibiotics they gave me during surgery and it is probably what is driving me nuts, when I thought it was ketosis.   All my protein at this point is liquid and that is the problem.  Those shakes - and I have three flavors - are hard to get down.  I am going to renew my effort though!

You should start posting on the daily calorie countdown and then I can fuss at you about protein like I fuss at Estelle Glad it went ok, bummer about the thrush, but all those antibiotics will do that. 

I read your calorie countdown post, but unfortunately mine looks like this. Water Water 3 oz protein shake Water Flavored water Not too exciting at this point.

Yes, I guess "getting a fussing" is a southern thing.  It's just you good old fashioned reprimand!
