2 Month Follow-Up

Aug 21, 2009

Went in for my 2 month follow-up today.  I lost another 14 pounds.  Woo-Hoo!  I also got the clearance to go ahead with more vigorous exercise and got the weight restriction lifted.  I CAN DO YARD WORK AND LIFT MY BOYS!!!  I am so excited to work in my yard this weekend.  Dr. Rosen called me his STAR patient and said that everything looked excellent.  All of my incisions look super and well healed.  I CAN ALSO TAKE A BATH AND GO SWIMMING!!!  I have been waiting so long.  I am gonna go hot tubbing with my friends now.  SWEET!  Today was a quick follow-up so nothing much else really happened.  I started my stage 4 diet today which is actually "regular" foods.  No blending, pureeing, or mashing.  I enjoyed lettuce, cucumbers, and tomatoes for the first time in 10 weeks.    I am down 144 pounds...since January.  My BMI is now at 52 from a 74, and my blood pressure today was 105 over 63.  I had to ask if I was still alive and the burse assured me that was normal.  All-righty!  Here are some 2 month post-op pics for ya!  Until next time!


Love and best wishes from my journey to yours!
