Follow Up Appointment

Jul 29, 2009

 I saw Dr. Mora for my follow up appointment this afternoon. It's been less than 5 months and I've lost 95 lbs since surgery. Everything looks good too. All my labs came back normal. I was a little worried about the protein, but it was normal as well. Low normal, but going up. I've managed to doctor the protein shakes with splenda and peanut butter and they are actually good. No intolerable protein smell that way . The only real complication I've had is a kidney stone earlier this month because I got lax with my calcium and water for a few weeks. That was horrible and I've learned my lesson!! It was more painful than childbirth. Not fun. So for all the newbies, the water and calcium are crucial! Oh yeah.....and the hair loss is bad.

I have a part-time job at Lane Bryant now. The best part of the job is the amazing discount on clothes. Now I'm happy to report that I can't even take advantage of that anymore! I'm too small for a 14/16 women's! I'm in a 16/18 misses! This is insane! I was pushing a 26 before surgery. Now I can shop in a regular women's store. I start an internship the last week in August and I assumed that I would get most of my clothes from Lane Bryant with my discount, but I can't now! It's really overwhelming to be able to find something in (almost) any store. It's a nice problem to have though
