4 Month Checkup
Well, I went for my checkup on Tuesday. The doctor was very pleased with my weight loss. He drew blood and I am awaiting results. He thinks I might be anemic again. He did tell me that I am not getting in enough calories, and that is why my weight loss has slowed. He wants me to get at least a 1000 a day. The bariatric nurse specialist said I had my body in rescue mode with only 600 calories a day. So, this week, I have been trying to increase it. We'll see what the scales say tomorrow! Also, I went to the support group at Gateway Medical in Clarksville while I was up there. It was awesome! Very educational and not aimed at only the pre ops like the ones that I have gone to here. I am going to go back when I go for my July checkup.

P E A C E - It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.
