Apr 07, 2009

Last week I went to my six week postop check.  I didn't get to see Dr. Krahn but I seen his assistant, Brian, who is also wonderful.  Brian said that I am doing great.  I have already lost 24.1% off my excess weight and by my six month mark, I should be down to goal weight.  THAT WAS SUCH ENCOURAGING NEWS!!!!!!
He said that I do need to up my calories a bit and increase my fluids and protein.  I have had such a very hard time getting the protein in.   I do find that when I get it in, I always lose more weight.  I asked if I could please please eat something more than meat, cheese, eggs and protein shakes and he explained that I have a window of opportunity with this surgery and I need to stick to it if I want to be a success.  So as hard as it is, that is what I am doing.  I just miss fruits and veggies so much!!!!!  Oh well, six months out of my life isn't that long and I will do this!!!!!!!
