One year followup today with Dr A

I fully expect to be beaten about the head. Dr A wants me at 200lbs, I just don't see it happening. After four years of shoulder "issues" I am trying to strengthen my shoulders, but weight is around 180,, oh well we will see.

I am just shaking my head here.  how'd ever have thought one could get beaten about the head for weighing too little.  Simply never has been on my radar.  Hope all goes well.  Remember the old movie line (well at least I think it's a movie line)  "there's no such thing as being too rich or too skinny."

Sorry for the delay,,, well,, I guess I got lucky I went straight from work,, and had been drinking all day, weight was 187 per his scale,, so a bit light,, but not as bad as 180lbs. all else looked pretty good, a1c was at 7, up,, but much better than pre surgery, considering I am not taking any meds,, I guess I need to check with doc.  Vit D was low, so Dr A gave me a script for it. He said don't lose ANYMORE weight.

I am so glad that everything went pretty good.  So your A1C went up?  Have you been checking your blood sugar daily pp?  If not you should start so that you can target on lowering your sugars. Make sure increase your protein, and stay away from the unhealthy carbs. (corn will increase your blood sugar so only eat moderate amount of that)

Make sure to stay on top of the vitamin D. I was low too and now I am back to normal. I take a daily supplent even though my blood test came back normal.

Keep up the great work and nope don't lose anymore weight. You want to stay healthy for sure.

I am so proud of you.
