My yearly appointment....

May 15, 2009

Well Dr. G considered it my yearly appointment.. I quickly reminded her that I still have 2 weeks left LOL  Not that I am not happy with the 80+ pounds I have lost.. BUT just saying... it hasn't been a year yet LOL

So it went well.. I did NOT get a fill.  Didn't need one.. didn't want one!  I have been having reflux at night but only when I sit and drink 32 ounces (for real) a few hours before bed.  But can still be a sign of being too tight.  She says to keep it here though because i lost 10 POUNDS.. yes 10 pounds in a month. WOW.. haven't dropped 10 pounds in a month for a long while now.  So I am THRILLED with that!  Of course her scale is different then mine.  When I saw her last month her scale said 185, my scale said 182.  When I went in Wednesday to see her I weighed 175.. my scale that morning said 174.  BUT it is still pretty much 10 pounds in about 5 weeks I guess it was.. and I will take it!  Considering I was stuck at 182 to 185 for about 7 weeks.... this is great!  And then I think.. wow only 5 more pounds and I coul dbe seeing the 160's.  LOL  CRAZY!  

Dr. G says "wow.. 10 pounds, how did you do that"  Well I dunno....  LOL  The only thing I can think of is... more protein.  I have been a HUGE milk kick lately.  I mean like 30 ounces or more of milk a day.. on top of 32 ounces of powerade a day and whatever else I drink.  For some reason I have been very thirsty lately LOL  Guess that is a good thing!  But I am still eating just like I was before and pretty much the same amount!  So who knows.. myabe walking those 13 miles finally caught up with me too!

And get this.. if you didn't read my post on the baords... I now have high cholesterol?!?!  She seemed kind of sleptical about it and didn't have an answer.  Before surgery it was like 206.. now it was 236.  I do not eat any more red meat now then I did before.. if anything it is less.  I used to be able to eat beef.. now I have a steak once a week and that is all the red meat I eat.  The rest is chicken or pork really.  I do eat a lot of cheese but always have.  So NO health issues before surgery and now I lose 80 pounds and have this.  She didn't seem too concerned.. just said to follow up with PCP in 6 months or so.

I should say my mom who maybe weighes in at 130 is on meds for it too.. so it could be a genetic thing not a weight thing.  As long as she isn't concerned then neither am I.  And when I go back to see my other doc I will bring it up.

Sooo that it all in a nutshell!  12 more days and it will be 1 year!!  I can hardly believe it is here.  But it is awesome because it is almost summer and I will be wearing shorts this year and proud of it!

1 more week of school too!!!

Hope everyone is doing great!
