3 month post op check up....

I can't believe I am 3 months out. It has gone by so quickly. When I was waiting for the surgery days just drug by now boom another week gone. Dr. Sudan & Co. Were very pleased with my 3months out. I told my nutritionist when she weighed me I didn't want to know the number. I told her how last week I stayed the same. I told her that I had weighed in at 195. So I was standing backwards on the scale no****ching and Krystn says I think you should look. I was 190lbs. I was so excited. I found out I was off on my highest weigh in for his office. My highest weight at Sudan's was 256 (not 252). So I have lost a total of 65 lbs. That is almost as much as my 6 year old weighs. My goal was to have lost 60lbs by post op 3m. I have surpassed my goal by 5lbs. My next is to loose another 30 by my 6th month check up. Krystn also taught me some stuff today..... I love eating almonds, a few pecans, and sun flower seeds as a snack. I thought it was okay because it has protein in them. Well sun flower seeds and almonds are better. Yes they have proteins but they are in complete. It's like eating red beans it is incomplete proteins until you have the rice then it becomes a complete protein. So it was suggested that I mix some low sugar granola with my sun flower seeds or almonds and that would make a complete protein. You can teach an old dog new tricks. Well time for bed I am so tired. I am excited though... I am going to meet Sheryl E. face to face Saturday for the first time. We are meeting for coffee.... Hugs to you all Melinda Thank you Father in Heaven for every one of life's lessons and each and every one of my blessings. Thank you for every ounce you have allowed me to loose. Thank you for the friends I have made here, their support, laughter, and love is so strongly felt.

Way to GO!!!! Congrats on surpassing your goal!!! I love your words of prayer that you add to your posts. So very uplifting! Sheila

Thanks Sheila.... I guess I am kinda weird. I know that he is the reason for my success and if I stop thanking him then I stop succeeding. I appreciate the words of encouragement. Have a happy Thursday.... Hugs Melinda

AMEN!

YOU GO GIRL!!!!! Wow - surpassed that goal, you did!!! Stay away from the scale and you end up getting nice surprises when you do weigh in. Good for you - I am so proud of your accomplishments! Interesting facts about the nuts - I didn't know that either. Enjoy your meeting with Sheryl = be sure to give her a big group hug for the Obesity Help Iowa board troop :hugs: Now, you know what I think about the prayers - anything to give God the glory for our new lives!! Amen sister!! May HIS blessings continue to be poured out upon you, Andrea
