Had my 3 Month Check-Up today!!

Well, I had to wait forever, but all in all it was a good appointment. My surgeon's scale has me down 59lbs, I think I am down about 60-61. He told me that my 1 year goal is -87lbs so I am well on my way. We talked about my fistula and my lack of satiety. I am not going to do any more testing on my fistula right now since I am still losing, but I will get evertyhing re-looked at when I hit goal or before if I stall. He said there are new techniques coming out on correcting fistulas. I have perimssion to eat up to 3oz of protein at a sitting so I feel satiety, so that makes me feel better. Thanks for listening!

I'm glad that your apt was good! Sounds like the Dr has a good idea on waiting for anymore testing!

What is lack of satiety? I had a vaginal fistula after the birth of my second child. Had it repaired and it's fine now. Hope yours goes well! Donna

Hiya Roni, Congrats on your 61 lb weight loss - way to go! Only 39 lbs to go! You are doing great! I think (not that I am any sort of authority) that you will feel much better eating 3 oz of protein - I have been doing that for quite a while now and in addition to that I also eat a vegetable at the lunch and dinner meals so I have been eating more than you. Maybe now that you can eat a bit more it wont be an issue for you! God bless you and keep you, ~Andrea
