Last meeting with Laura today

I had my last meeting with Laura today.  She is happy with what I am eating and how much.  My weightloss has slowed from 3.5 lbs per week to 2.25 lbs per week and that has her happy as well so as to reduce the liklihood of gallstones or kidney stones.  I have been very lucky diet wise, I can eat a nice balance of protein, veg and carbs with almost no problems....have to keep working on my water intake though.  She said if I wanted to I could reduce my protein shakes from 1 a day to 3 per week as I am getting a good amount of protein from food.  She said 60 - 80 grams per day.  She said the goal is 200 minutes of moderate exercise per week.  Gotta up that. 

Don't get blood work till 6 months so I don't really know how that is going but she did say that from the preliminary bloodwork they did at 6 weeks all seems normal.

I have an appt. with Dr. Hardy next week ( I thought they would do blood work then??) and then have to book my 6 months check up with the new clinic for November.  That's all for now!

How often does a person have to go after surgery?  and wtg on the progress, now get yer runners on girl and giver!! go for the inches

My surgery was May 15th, saw Dr. Andrew and Laura at the end of June then saw Laura again today and Dr. Hardy next week.  Then 6 months and then again at 1 year I believe.

I am still suffering with a sciatic nerve issue on my left side and it won't let me walk much.  I have been going to aquasize and that seem to be going better on the leg.  Now to try the elyptical again.  Bought new and expensive runners in January and they are a wide width .... now they are kinda big

What I forgot to say and surprised me the most was that my bmi went from 48 down to 39.  I really didin't expect such a big change with 55 lbs.
