Dr.Gluck

I had my teaching meeting/app. on thursday. I gained ten pounds!! Bummer......I do not think the doc was to happy about that. He is starting me on my fast two days (tomm.) earlier!! The app. lasted longer than I thought though. But it is over and I am on my way now!!! Starting tomm. the weight is coming off!!

how was the meeting?and why did it run longer and what type of things do they talk about? what did he say about the weight gain? i know that he told me if i did not loose weight by my pre op apt he would not do the surgery so i have been working with the nut and him so he knows i am diligent and want theweight to come off..... i am sorry about the 2 days earlier..... how much does he want to see you lose before the big day? and what time is your surgery? k

The meeting was ok. It did run longer than they said. They hit on everything about wls and all phases of the diets. Well I think he wants the ten pounds off. I don't think that will be a problem. My surgery is at 10. He was not real happy about the ten pounds though. I had a million excues of course....quitting smoking, and that ten pounds was from over a year....He was nice about it though. Are you going to the meeting on the 11th? I think I will. Some of them were really stressing the importance of going to them. They also give you some tips about the first two phases that are not in the book. One was you can have fat free/ sugar free chocolate pudding, if you mix it with some protein powder. I tried this but it made the pudding really runny and I did not think it tasted very good. All in all it is like a review. They had quite a few people speaking and Dr. Gluck was the last. He talked about the actual surgery and all the do's and dont's. Talk to you later, Tracy
