95.7 lbs!

Mar 19, 2009

Wow. I have to say that I am reallllly impressed with myself.

I've come such a looong way in the past 19 months! It's been exactly 19 months since my surgery (as of "today" March 20th). I've lost an average of 5 lbs per month, which is PERFECT and exactly where I should be. I'm so happy with my success so far. If you would have asked me a month ago, I would have most likely said that I was disappointed with my weight loss.

I'm hoping to be at goal by the end of the year which means I need to lose an average 5.5 lbs per month for the rest of the year. That's a pretty steep goal, but if I'm at goal before the 3 year mark, I would be extremely happy with myself.

I know 7 or 8 of these lbs have been in the last week and have not been under good circumstanstances, but hey, I'll still take it, and I'll build on it. Hopefully I don't gain any of them back since Dumb Doctor took 1/2 CC outta my band!!! I'm still having the burning pain on the right side, and Dr Tom doesn't start at his new practice until April 1st, so I'm thinking about going in to see my GP about it. I've decided that I'm just not comfortable with Dr. Moon.  I met a Saint E's surgical nurse today, and she told me that he's only been certified in LapBand for a few months!!!!!!! No WONDER he couldn't find my port, even if it WAS tilted! I'm kinda upset that he put me through all that AND then didn't even return my phone call or give me my test results...  But, then again, she also told me that I don't want to see Dr Tom... She said that He is no longer with Saint Luke due to an "ethical issue" and that I should just sick with one of the other new doctors. I was extremely offended by this insinuation!!!!! I told her that I LOVE  doctor Tom, and that it should be obvious that I LOVE him because I'm willing to drive an hour and twenty minutes to see him for a 1/2 hour.  I also know one of the staff member at TSWLC and she said she can't decide if she wants to look for another job, or just try to stick it out... She didn't seem too happy about all the new changes that were going on... 

Oh well. Hopefully, a trip to the GP tommorrow to see what's up with this nagging pain on my right side.
