3 month visit

Dec 09, 2011

I went to see Dr. Steinberg today.  His scales say I'm down 23% from 290 to 252 (38 lb. lose), but my scales say I'm down 296 (from the actual day of surgery) to 251 (45 lb. loss).  He said he expects me to loose 50% the first 18 months after surgery.  I hope I'm down a lot more than that though.  I can swallow pills now....yay, I hate B-complex in pudding!  I can also take Elixor (Liquid) Ibuprofin for my recent knee surgery as long as I'm taking pepcid too. 

The only problem with my blood results was that I had a D vitamin deficiancy.  He gave me a prescription Vitamin D - 50,000 IUs to daily WEEKLY. 

I don't go back for 3 more months.

I was worried that I didn't have the dumping syndrome, but last week I tried it out to see if I actually do have it and I DO!!!
I was making sugar cookies for my Sunday School Christmas Cookie exchange and ate some sugar cookie dough and 15 mins. later started sweatig real bad and cramping real bad.  I laid down for an hour.  I can eat one sugar cookie, but that's about it.
