One Month Post Op!!

I went and saw Dr. Peters yesterday. He feels I have a little ulser(sp). He is planning on another EGD next week. He still graduated me from pureed foods to soft foods. Thank God!!!! for that. He looked at my blood work that I got done at the Hospital and my protein level is a little down. But he was not surprised as I have been not feeling well. I have to take my meds for three months. I am on Karaphate. So we will see!!! FOR THE GOOD NEWS!!!! I AM DOWN 27 POUNDS!!!! wooohoooo!!!!!!! Besides the EGD, Dr Peters does not want to see me for two months!!! Smiles!!! Julie

Good for you!!! Keep up the good work. Will we see you on Monday night? Dee

Congratulations on your weight loss. Wait until you lose more. Keep up the good work. Christie

Julie, Keep doing what you have been. WOW 27 lbs gone forever. You are doing super girl. The blood work will even itself out. Just keep working on the protein & water. It will keep getting easier for you. Take every day as a new one & try to add a minute to your exercise each day. Brett, (former P.A. at the Dr's office, now in S. Carolina and highly missed,) told us to set aside 20 minutes a day just for exercise. Even if you can only do 5 minutes, save the other 15 for exercise. No phone, no TV, just quiet time for you. Eventually in a couple months the whole 20 minutes can be worked up to. Then you can start adding. I'm up to 2 hours a day 6 days a week and I absolutely love it. I get real upset if I can't fit it into my day. It becomes addictive. I think I changed my love for food to love of exercise. WOW what a butterfly I have morphed into. Let us know how the EGD goes.
