3 Month Post-Op Doctor Visit

Aug 07, 2010

Went to see the bariatric doc and NUT on July 27th, the day after we got back from Florida.  According to my numbers, I have lost 36% of my excess body weight so far, still ahead of schedule.  They expect me to be at 30% of EBW, so I am not as discouraged this week since I hadn't lost a pound.  However, I am losing more inches as my only pair of size 46 shorts now requires a belt.  They aren't falling to my ankles yet, but they aren't tight like they were a month or so ago. 

My daughter asked me last night if I could wear a size 44 yet.  I told her I don't own anything at size 44 so I don't know if it would fit.  We were shopping for school uniforms then and being that I got off of night shift that morning and going back on dayshift this morning, I really didn't feel like trying on clothes.  Maybe on my day off Tuesday. :)

Anyway, feel pretty good.  Other than the knee issue, I feel great.  Haven't thrown up in a month.  The NUT released me to try air-popped popcorn, unsalted nuts, and lettuce.  Also fruit with peels, like apples and such.  I LOVE APPLES.  Got one in my luuch kit today, will try that out.
