2 Week Check Up

I saw Brett yesterday for my 2 week check up and my official weight loss is: 25.4 pounds!!! It is just unbelievable! I had lost 20 pounds in the 2 months before surgery so I am only 6 pounds away from my first milestone that I wanted to reach - under that 300 number! Brett was happy with my progress and recommended that I add some protein drinks (Isopure, etc.) to help boost my protein. I'm currently getting in about 40 - 50 grams or so a day and this will take me over the 60 gram mark - plus it gave me an excuse to go to Carb Busters! Well, time to go out and walk - I'm doing 1 mile each morning and averaging 12,000 steps for my daily total. Thanks again to everyone here - you guys are wonderful!!! Patty

Hey Patty, Way to go. Remember to listen to your body and don't skip your meals. Take your protein as directed as with your supplemental vitamins. I live on the Townsend/Symrna line so am happy to see someone else around here. Keep up the good work! Michael Http://Backninefarm.zoomshare.com and Http://UCIC.zoomshare.com

That is so awesome Patty!! Isn't it a wonderful feeling when you hit the scales and see the loss!! it is really a booster!!! Hope

Wow !!Patty thats great!! Bretts always pushing the Isopure But personally I like the protein ice at Carb Busters alot better.Keep up the good work. Cathy

Patty, That is fantastic!! I visited Carb Busters right after my appointment with Bret yesterday. Don't forget to let Ed & Sherry know that you are a WLS patient. They'll give you a 10% discount card!! I'm with you...it's time to go for a walk. Ken

Hi Ken - how are doing? If your walking in the hospital was any indication, you must be almost ready for the Boston Marathon!!! Thanks for the info on the 10% discount card. I was talking with Ed and forgot all about it, I had told him that I had the surgery 2 weeks ago; however, he and my hubby got talking about people they knew and I think it got forgotten. That hubby of mine knows someone no matter where we go in a 5 state area! Hope you are doing fine. Talk care, Patty

Hey Patty way to go on your weight loss and about the hubby, I have one just like that everywhere we go, even on vacation he runs into someone he knows, who knows, maybe they are brothers? Take care Dana

Patty. Good job. Way to go. I bet you are glad to be on the loosing side and getty healthy. ((HUGS)) Elissa
