76.3 pounds gone forever
Jul 16, 2012
This morning was filled with nothing but appointments and blood work but I'm happy that i finally got everything done.Now i just hope that all my blood work comes back ok I'm especially worry about my iron levels because i don't want to start getting infusions but before i jump the gun I'm going to wait until the nutritionist call me with my results which she said should take a few days.I schedule everyone for today(PCP,Nutritionist and Surgeon) .So first up was my PCP and he was thrilled with my progress,He hasn't seen me since right after i had surgery.I was his first patient that he had to go through the whole 6 month supervise diet with.He couldn't stop beaming about my results he said that he was so proud of me.I told him i wasn't sure if i needed to see him especially now ,He said yes because he is the one that makes the decision about my meds and things like that.My blood pressure today was 123/86 and i was telling him that i stop taking my pills a month after surgery because they made me dizzy.So today officially marks the day that i got off bp meds and its documented.He wants to see me again in 3 months just to make sure that my blood pressure is staying low.Then i went to my surgeons office got on the scale and i weight 379.0 so that mean since last week i lost 9.2pds and since surgery I've lost 76.3pds.Dr Herron was very happy with my progress.I was a little bit nervous cause i didn't want to disappoint him.So i asked him as far as number how do i stand he told me that I'm actually ahead of the game and he is beyond happy with the progress that I'm making.He also said that he was thrilled with the way my scars look they are almost gone except the two big one,He said you you can't even tell i had surgery because my scars are not visible,I told him that's because he is the best at what he does. He told me that he wants to see me again for my 8 month visit....I totally
my sleeve its one the best decisions i ever made.After i was done with Dr herron i saw the nutritionist and we talked for a while about everything and she was also happy with how I'm doing.She told me to try to up my protein cause i was honest about that and she said to keep trying the further out the easier it will become to get more protein in .I told her that the amount that i eat is not enough and in order for me to meet my protein requirement would mean that i would have to be drinking protein shakes all day.So from this point I'm going to try and drink at least two protein shakes for the days,Especially on days that its too hot to eat.Some days i'm not going to lie i spend most of drinking water and sometimes i'll forget to eat because food is the last thing on my mind now.I'm going to try and go shopping this weekend to see what size i'm down too...Oh i forgot to mention that i took my measurements last week and since last month i've lost 17 1/2 inches off my body.I'm sure that total would have been more but i only started measuring last month.I'm going to try and upload some pics but most of the pics is on my phone and for some reasons with my android i'm having issues with OH.Thank you for reading,I hope that everyone is doing well.-Everchanging
