First Check-up Today

Had my 2 week visit today. I am down 16.6 pounds ( lol gotta get that .6 in there ) and I feel wonderful! Energy level is good my lap incisions look like tiny little scratches. Drain site healed nicely too. Went over my food intake with Brett and he was very pleased at how I'm progressing. My coat is feeling bigger everyday, and my clothes feel ALOT different than they did. I will definitely be curious to see what the inches lost works out to be when I go back to PMRI. All I can say is I feel wonderful. I check my blood sugar 4 x a day and all my readings are fabulous. This was my main reason for having this done. Iwas dx'd with it 5 years ago and my whole family is diabetic. It is such an ugly disease...this girl is gonna beat it tho! I don't know how anyone else feels but the actual weight loss seems to be more like a happy side effect rather than the whole deal with me. I'm doin the dance!! Hope you are all feelin' fine this cold windy day! Linda

Congrats on a great check up Linda - you seem to be progressing so wonderfully!

Yeah Linda!! You're off to a great start! It also showed in your whole attitude on Saturday! Keep on keepin' on girl! You're doing fantastic! ((hugs)) Carla

Great! Very good check up, Linda. You must be happy. Wishing you continued success.

That's fabulous Linda! Great job.. and I'm proud of you for not peeking until today

Linda, congratulations!!! I am so very thrilled for you. And I have to say that I echo everything that Carla has said ... your positive attitude simply bounced right out of you!!! Keep up the good work!!!

Linda, Awesome. Whoa 16.6. It's really not hard. The WLS has given us a great tool to work with. Keep up the positive attitude. You must have an asbestos mouth to be able to handle the Actigall so easily. I just hated it and wasn't good for the 1st month about taking it consistently. So I am glad for you. Do you have to give yourself the Blood thinner shots? How are you making out with them? TT you soon. ((HUGS)) Elissa

Hi Elissa, No blood thinner shots for me, and I finally lost my bruise from the ones in the hosp say yay. Asbestos Mouth

Linda, You're off to a great start! Congrats!
