I had my 5 week post-op visit

For all those that are interested, I had my 5 week post-op visit and the doctor is very happy with my blood and lab results.  The Doctor was very shocked with the fact that I was able to put 4 pounds of muscle on, usually patients loose a pound of muscle with a pound of fat the first month, she pleased.  I have been on a 3 week plateau where I have not lost but have been diligent with my food intake.  She wants me to actually get more calories and get back to the gym.  I am very excited to be able to get my Jits on again, my Mountain Warrior brothers look out!!!

I have been trying new foods and am having a very difficult time with most, I was told this time is difficult for most and to keep at it.  I have been tracking my food presented her with a log which she was very pleased with.  We went through the log and she commented on data, it was a great tool and I suggest all patients go through this exercise

All in all things are going good even though I have not lost any weight in three weeks(which frustrates me).  I have lost a total of 50lb sense I began this journey in September.  Thanks all for the support.

Congrats on the clean bill of health! 

I am kind of frustrated with my surgeon's office!! I had my surgery on 4/10 so we are about the same time out from our procedures. I had a two week followup and I don't see them again until late June!!! How weird is that? I hope they still think I am doing great!! I am down a total of 69 pounds (44 since surgery). They told me to "transition to real foods" before they see me again wow..not a lot of guidance there!! I hope I am doing everything right. I guess I will know more next month!!
