RE: My 3 month update.
Ok ! I have to let you all know what I have been up too. I have been lurking but have not posted for a long time.
Well I just had my 3 month post-op checkup last Thursday the 28th with my surgeon, and I am right on track says the doc. infact I am ahead of the schedule and doin awesome. I have lost 100 lbs. in 3 monthes 
but I have another 200 lbs to my goal of 200 lbs. Man have I got so much energy now I have a hard time going to sleep at night and I catch myself staying up til 2 or 3 in the morning some times. Like two or three times a week and then I only need about 5 hours of sleep and I am up again. I am still using the BI-PAP machine but its been turned down from 25 to 7 so that is good, other then I have restless leg syndrome still. So my internest has me on meds for that now. But for all my other meds I was on before this surgery the only thing I am taking now is LIMBREL for my arthrisis. I was taking a antidepressant and Celerbrex and I am off of those two now. I had a hard time keeping foods down until about 2 weeks ago, until I told myself that 2 tablespoons or 2 ounces of meat at a time. Or I make sure to puree all my soups and stews and they stay down with no problem. I can do some dairy products like 2% milk and cheeses, but not cottage cheese (I dump on it) and I drink at least two protein shakes a day.
It is realy been a change, my clothes are getting so baggy infact I am going to do my last mail -order for a pair of pants this week and I should be able to go to the thrifty store and get my clothes in another month or so. I tell everyone I talk to about the surgery that I would do it again in a Heart Beat ! Well that its for now... Take care and I will be standing By !!
