6 week visit!
Today was my 6 week appointment!
I saw Terry her appointment was before mine, she has definately lost some weight!!
I was a little nervous because the scale at the clinic always weighs me in at a few extra pounds. As I got on the scale I was saying "248, 248" and sure enough it was 248 (245 on my home scale).
So I went into the little room and the girl who escorted me in there was like what's that in your water bottle hehe I had cut up half a lemon and stuck it in there.. some sugar free lemonade.
Then I waited a bit for the doctor, but in came the nutritionist instead. She gave me some handouts and said I'm doing great. She said 500-600 calories a day is just fine as long as I'm getting my protein in. She said I can switch to swallowable vitamins and told me to start taking a calcium suppliment. I also can stop taking my stomach acid reducer! Woo hoo.
Then came the doctor. He said I'm way ahead of schedule! He said if I keep losing at this rate I could lose all my weight in 6 months... of course it's going to slow down, but what a nice thought. He told me my goal is between 140-150 but I'm thinking more 120-130... we'll see when it gets closer.
