ONE MONTH APPTS

I saw both a PMRI nutritionist (Danielle) and Brett at Dr. Iragu's office today. Thanks for everyone welcoming me back to the boards, so I thought I'd let you know how I did. (And maybe share some of my experiences with others!) The nutritionist was great. I love their scale. 32lbs if right! Anyway, I was not eating enough (only 2oz protein 3-4 times a day), not getting a balance (virtually no fruits or vegs), and not drinking enough fluids. And I'm not settled on a protein powder I can stomach. The good news? I am moving off the purreed diet and have suggestions to change my "mistakes." BUT I am scared to death to eat more!!!!! WELLLLLLL.....isn't that the old "diet" mentality. Dr. Iragu's...their scale said I lost 27 lbs. Still OK! :>) Got the same sort of info from them about my eating habits. But all in all, it was positive. I am healing nicely and I can do more activity (exercise) now. Got some answers to the practical questions about constipation, and all that fun stuff. Back to see both in early NOVEMBER!

Miss Kitty- Plz tell me your real name? I feel so bad that I work at the office and I am not sure who you are. Are you Lisa? Anyway, I wanted to put a name with the face and nickname. Nicki

Nicki, I'm sorry, I got started with Kitty because that is my family nickname. BUT yes I am Lisa. I saw you today at the office and talked to you earlier this week when we had to rescedule my appt. Kitty aka Kit aka Lisa aka ?????

Wow Lisa, Congrats Angelette. I knew you looked pretty good on Saturday. Either way 27 or 32 that is pretty awesome. Don't be afraid to eat for gosh sakes. Take it slow and try to eat slowly. You should do okay. Wanna go to the gym with me next week to work out, swim & hot tub? My trainer is awesome with us bypass patients. He is a real inspiration and such a positive force in my life right now. Make sure you take it slow at first. You're gonna do great. TT you. ((HUGS)) Elissa
