Post surgery doctor visit

Hi all!!! I went to visit Dr. DeWitt in Birmingham yesterday. I have to just tell you how much I LOVE HIM!!! He is so personable and wants to make sure everything is going okay. I asked him to refer me back to the nutritionist so I can talk to her about protein since I am having some nausea after eating. I also got to weigh, which I haven't done since last Friday (we went to his office when we traveled through B'ham on our way to Nashville). Last Friday I was 293, and yesterday I was 288. My beginning weight was 325, so I am down 37lbs. It is a little slower than I wanted...I hoped to be down 50 or so lbs by now, but I am going to be better about eating protein and working on getting all of my water in. Just wanted to update y'all!! ~~em

Emily, This is a fantastic weight loss! Don't feel that you're slow, everyone loses at their own pace and one day you may wake up and have a lot of weight off all at once. I'm glad that you love your surgeon. I too love mine like that too. He's got so much confidence in what he does and high hopes for his patients. Paula
