3 Month Dr's Appt

Welp... I am still healthy. All my bloodwork seems to be normal--even my iron. So, I dont know. I got a B12 shot. Why didnt anyone tell me they were gonna do this in my HINEY?? Good news is I didnt feel it AT ALL. I am down 59 pounds since surgery and 68 from my first preliminary visit with him. He says its normal and that I shouldnt be concerned about being a slow loser. Strange thing is my girth went up. In the beginning it was 55 then down to 43--now its 45. Dont know whats going on with that but they said its because everything is coming DOWN --nice way of saying saggy skin. I asked about the calcium pills and I should definatly be taking 2 tums a day. DeeDee, I asked about BCP and Janet talked to him and they said it should be fine because the pills are absorbed somewhere else--somewhere he doesnt mess with. Sorry I forgot what he called it. I am going to go back to my OB and see if he will just give me an IUD. I do not particuraly like the Nuva Ring. Strange thing happened when I took it out. Scared the crap out of me. Ill tell ya next week. Anyway, my next appt is not until April. I hate it. I miss not seeing him. I just love my surgeon. Really really really. As you walk thru Hattiesburg CLinic his photo is on the wall and everytime I see it I grin from ear to ear. I love him to peices. I had my mother take pictures of me the morning of surgery as I was changing into my gown. She sent them to me over the weekend and I cried. They are awful. I was so fat. I printed them and had them laminated and took them with me. I showed the 2 nurses and I cried again--one of them gave me a hug and I just cant believe the change in me in 3 short months. The saddest part is that I never knew I was that big. I didnt look at myself and think "Damn Girl--D.I.E.T" --Never ever in my dreams did I KNOW I looked like that. I am so happy I had this surgery. If any of yall want to see the photos let me know. I will send them. Its hard but I know I have come a long way. I am no where near where I want to be but I am no where near where I was. Thank you Dex for sharing the info earlier. I printed it and am going to keep it very handy. Its a lot of info and I appreciate it GREATLY. Love you all, Christine 275/266/207/160

Go, CC, GO!!!! Woo hoo!!!! I am so proud of you!!! Smoochies Arlies

I'm so glad your blood work came back OK....that is great news...As for the B12 shots, they usually ask me if i want it in the hiney or the arm....next time, ask them if they'll give it to you in the arm......the shot should give you a boost of energy...in fact, you should be able to feel it by now....hope so....i'm late getting mine and i can really tell it.....going next week to get it......i'd love to see your "before" pictures.....thanks and keep it up!!!!

I sent them. You should get 4 pics I think. NO LAUGHING!!!! I feel better since having the shot. Heck, usually I am in bed by now... haha I think its going to be ok!

Christine, Sounds like you had a wonderful checkup. Theres nothing like having a good cry session and looking good at the same time. I hope I can follow in your footsteps. Keep up the good work Becky

congrats on the good check up, gets me a lil excited and ready to be at that point myself...

hey Christine,I wannnnnna see your pictures I need all the inspiration i can get .....................Sherry..................:

I sent them. You should get 4 pics I think. NO LAUGHING!!!! These are NOT inspirational... haha... these are SAD!

Hey Sweet Heart !!! I am sooo glad that you are doing great. That is such wonderful news And you know that I want to see those pix. And I will not laugh !!! You are a beautiful person inside and out. So keep your chin up. And if someone says something ugly about your pictures, you put their chin up with a punch !!! BTW: I smile from ear to ear when I see my doctor.... And it has nothing at all to do with his being such a hot cuttie pie.

That's great that you are doing so great! We all have different metabolisms and I think I'm going to be a slow loser also. But it is important to be on the losing side and be keeping up with the program. I hope your B-12 shot helps out. Blessings, Carolyn in TX
