1 month Follow up appt.

Well yesterday was 1 month post op and today I had my check up with Dr. Seiloff. I am currently weighing in at 200lbs. I was sure hoping for something in the ones, but oh well I have done great. I have lost 27lbs since surgery and 52lb since the beginning of this journey.I am now half way to my goal of 145. Eating is going well, but I have been worried because my stomach has been growling and I have been hungry. I didn't expect this the Dr. just told me to eat more solid things such as protein and that should help. Did anyone else have a problem with hunger this early on? Oh yeah he freed me to eat meat. That sure will make the protein intake a little easier. I don't go back now for 3 months.

That's very good Angie, Keep up the Good Stuff. I had my Pre-Op tests today They only took 3 viles of blood & EKG. And since I asked they had me fill a small cup. After I went and had my Chest Xrays. That's it. Next in a week is Final Surgeon Consult. Then the Big Show. I can't wait. Mike

Look at you! 27 lbs!! Thats awesome! I go in for my 6 week next monday.. I CANT wait to get this stupid tube out!

WOW thats great. DOnt rush your weight loss. It will come in due time. remember to chew chew chew that protien and know that often times it will make you "sick" at first. take care and congrates!!!

Good for you, Angie!! That is fantastic. Did you try to shift your weight around on the scale to see if you could get it to go to 199. Don't fret though. You'll be well below that when you go next time. Keep up the good work. Betty
