That's AWESOME Kelly!
I wouldn't worry too much about seeing the psychologist. There is a stigma attached to it, but there shouldn't be. I would be worried about not being able to eat more than 1/2 cup of food too! I'm sure things will be fine.
Keep up the good work....or rather....just maintain that good work.
See you tomorrow night!

One year later and I am down 125 pounds!
Clothing sizes are way down along with that too.
Someplace I have lost 10 pants sizes...8 shirt sizes.....and a number of jewelery sizes,shoes etc. IF found do NOT return them to me!!
Regrets? Heck no!
Today was my one year follow up appointment. The surgeon is very happy with my progress and congratulated me a few times. Then he let me kind of have it. He wants me to NOT lose any more weight. Says I am at the perfect size and need to maintain. He is worried I will become malnourished if I keep going down and then he says I will have more issues to resolve. He took my labs today, which is unusual, my PCP usually does this. The surgeon didn't want to wait longer to see where I am at, he wants to hit any issues now, not in 6 months. He also set up for me to go see the NUT as he thinks she needs to set up a plan for me to maintain and see where I am lacking. He knows I still can't eat more then half cup of food per meal. He was not to happy that I only intake approx 800-1,000 calories a day and thinks maybe my protein might be on the low side,even if I get in 60 plus grams a day. Sometimes you just can't please all the people in the world.
I will be waiting to see what wisdom the NUT bestows upon me soon!
More up dates as things/results become available.

Join us for our monthly support meeting on Monday night, in the lower level conference rooms of Innovis Health hospital on 32nd Ave S in Fargo.
We have a couple of people who are in the process of getting surgery scheduled, so we have something to celebrate as well as offer words of encouragement. As we've all communicated in the past, there's not a one of us *****grets our decision to have weight loss surgery.
Tomorrow topic is on exercise. What deals are insurance company's offering to motivate you to go to the gym? Do you have flex? What is the benefit flex can provide if you turn in your monthly bill if you've had WLS? Why is exercise for a WLS patient more than just walking and require needed strength training?
See you Monday night!
Thanks Ladies!
