Yesterday was a much better day!

Jan 08, 2011

Yesterday, I dragged myself into my primary care physician's office to discuss medically managing my insulin resistance / pcos.  I told him that the VSG was done.  He didn't require me to have more labs done.  I showed him my labs from before surgery (different hospital).  He fully supported me in all of my decisions!!!  See that is why I have a great respect for my PCP. 

He put me back on metformin.  We both agree that this is medically managing symptoms that will likely resolve once I am closer to a healthier weight.  The dosage will need to be tweaked periodically.  He stressed the importance of fitness.  He was very encouraging!!

I was still in that mindset of doubting my judgement for having this surgery prior to talking to my PCP.  I see how others are so successful so quickly and I was not.  Admittedly the green-eyed monster caused me to belly ache a bit (or a lot).  He thought that I chose just the right surgery.  He reassured me that I would be successful with the surgery, fitness and medication.  I felt so so so much better after talking to him.

After taking the first metformin pill my stomach did get a bit crampy.  No other 'symptoms'.  I ate and drank to as close to my protien and water goals as I could.

This morning, I stepped on my scale and I lost 3 lbs since yesterday!!!  Yesterday!!  SO if you heard a bit of celebration all the way from the Dakotas that was just me finally being UNDER 300 lbs again!
