Second Follow Up After Surgery

Well I had my second appointment yesterday with my surgeon since my surgery and it went well! I didn't lose much weight in the past two weeks...only 3 pounds but as the doctor pointed out this is expected since I have been walking or riding my bike a minimum of 2 miles per day. I'm getting muscles! LOL I discovered my knees the other day....yes they were always there but so hidden under all the fat I didn't know they were there! I have lost inches but I am not sure just how many since I misplaced my measurements from two weeks ago. I know I lost because I can fit into a pair of jeans that I couldn't get into when I tried them on 2 weeks ago. I am now on Stage 5 foods, normal foods...no more pureed!! I am still having trouble with chicken but that is about the only thing so far that doesn't agree with my pouch. I can't wait to start introducing salad and fresh fruits back into my diet! I know, I know I have to take it slowly.... The best news is I don't have to go back to see the doctor till August 25! My blood work came back good except for my potassium level but that wasn't a big surprise since my blood pressure medicine has a diuretic. I go back to work on Monday...I am looking forward to that.....which will probably last about 2 days....and then I will be ready for a break again!

thats awsome youre doing so well and good luck

Wow Joan congratulations you are doing great.....you found your knees that have been missing for years.....and your building muscle now....you are losing inches and fit into a pair of jeans.....that is great and you don't go back to the doc til Aug.... Remember when you go back to work to eat and drink, we sometimes get so busy we forget....so please don't forget....and remember to chew chew chew... Christine
