6 week post op appt.

Well yesterday was also my day to see my surgeon. Actually he was on vacation, so my 6 week appt is a couple weeks late. They are very very pleased with my progress. Things I learned: - my goal weight is 135. To me it is kinda low, but we will see what happens. - I am right on target with my weight loss. with losing 19% of excess weight since surgery. - I need to change my methods of cooking chicken, since I have issue with grilled chicken. - My low blood sugar should resolve itself. I mayhave additional battles with it every now and again, until my body gets adjusted. - Taking too much b-12 right now, need to cut it back in half. - Need to take a vitamin c chewable with my iron. I see him again in 6 weeks for my 3 month appt, and then not again until next June. I will still follow up with my gp weigh ins once a month. I feel good. I measured last night, and have lost 31.5 inches in 2 months with almost 60 pounds. I got a major compliment from my hubby yesterday. "I like the new you" he said that I have a better attitiude than I have had in a long time, he likes the way we are eating, and he wants to start walking with me 3 times week. Yesterday we had lunch at a Red Robin, kinda a sports bar known for thier burgers. Normally we would have had and appetizer, meal and dessert, and about a $45 bill for the two of us. Yesterday, no appetizer, no dessert, just a burger and fries for him, and chicken tortilla soup for me. total bill was $19 plus tip. We were pleased. Pam

wow you're doing great... when my husband and i went to the taco place, our bill was under 12 bucks... anyway.. thanks for keeping us posted. I have my 1 month appt on August 7th. I'm getting excited to find out what he has to say. My appointment is late because of scheduling conflicts. I can't wait to be able to swim and take baths again. My doctor doesn't recommend doing those things until I've had my 1 month appt! I cheated though... I got in the hot tub when I went for massage on Monday... Shhhh! don't tell on me!
