surgery went very well

HI!  No I didn't know she was a Trauma ER doctor for 13 years but I had heard she was the best.  She is a wonderful surgeon.  I went to St. Vincents and can't say enough about them so I can't comment on Clarian.  I'm sure they do a super job.

I lost 90 pounds 10 years ago with Weigh****chers and exercise (not since the surgery). I put above my signature, top weight 358, surgery weight 288.  I just kept gaining and losing the same 20 pounds over and over for 10 years.  So at the surgery I was at 70 pounds off.  The difference between 358 and 288 is huge.  I always say that no one knows what it is like to be super morbidly obese unless you've been there.  It's just a whole other world of problems.  Once I got under 300 pounds life got a lot easier. 

I'm just a little over 2 weeks out today and I've lost a little over 10 pounds.  So nothing huge but I am happy with it.  I really don't want to lose tons of weight really fast.  I'll be happy with a steady  loss of 10 - 15 pounds a month.  My goal is more about health. 

I've been really blessed that I have  pretty much breezed thru this recovery.  I can easily get in 90 proteins and 65 fluids a day and eat everything I've tried on the plan.  I am retired so it is easy for me to make things to eat and drink whenever I want. 

Good luck on your surgery.  I'm sure if Dr. Inman said you could have the surgery with your blood condition, it will be ok.  Blessings, Pam
