just got back from my 2 month follow up. all is great. i've lost 45% of my excess body weight and he said that's a bit ahead of schedule. he also said i have set realistic goals for myself and sees no problem in obtaining them. corinne caught me with gum. yikes she wasn't happy either! i always chew gum. i know i'm not supposed to because i could swallow it and cause a blockage but it's a nasty habit i'm trying to quit. all my bloodwork and labs were perfect. all is great here and i'm feeling great too. dr. loggins cautioned me not to go wild buying new clothes as he knows i'll shrink out of them pretty quickly. down the road i'll have to increase my exercise. 2 miles a day is great but will need to add weight training soon. don't want to get too flabby.

That is awesome! Love to see the labs come back good. You never realize how things could be off with not absorbing everything. Definitely hold off on the clothes...you will be ni even smaller sizes before you know it!

Sounds awesome! Glad that things are going so well for you! Sorry about the gum, it's been hard for me too! HAve you tried sugar free mints or candy? I keep a stash of baskin robbins SF mint chocolate chip hard candies and SF life savers in my purse for when the moment hits!!!!

Updated ticker! Getting back on track! I WILL make my goal weight!!!!!!!

haven't tried sf mints. gum is my passion

i'll try harder. it helps when i walk because it keeps my mouth moist. that's usually the only time i chew it. sometimes after a protein shake cuz my mouth feels icky.
