6 week checkup?

tomorrow is my 6 week post-op.  What does that mean?  Will they just weigh me and look at my incisions?  Or will I have blood work to check my diabetes, cholesterol, ect. too?  Just curious about what to expect.

I can't answer your question, but I hope you have a great post-op visit!

Thank you.  I only hope Dr. Walton's not too dissapointed with my slow weight loss!

diana - shut it missy!  dr w will check things and see if something needs tweaked.  there is never any admonition or i told you so's....   they will check your incision sites, poke on your tummy a little bit, talk to you.  i think they will hold additional blood work for a few more weeks, but then the protocol keeps changing and i can't keep up! do you see jessica tomorrow as well?  that may be where you get some questions if so....be sure to have your journal ready!!  LOL keep on keeping on - we all lose at different rates!!  it is not a one size fits all kind of program - so quit worrying yourself hon!!

They decided not to have you visit w/ your dietiician at the 6 week post-op anymore.  You only get to see them at your 2 week class and then I will see her at a class in July.  I guess they were getting too busy.  I'll see if I'm able to call Jessica though, because I need help!!! Whine, whine..... I'm still the same darned weight from when I gained weight last weekend!  For a whole week now.  I'm just frustrated.  I think I'm going to try the bike riding thing.  Thanks for the info by the way.  I called her and left a msg. 

How much have you lost since surgery?   Looks to me like you're doing well. Do you think you might need to up your calories?

Good luck tomorrow, Diana.... Besure and let us know and like I told you last week, I could tell you have lost.....  Keep it up and I will see you Wendnesday and I will be at the meeting Thursday!!! Robin

Hey Diana, I have my 6 week post-op visit tomorrow as well and am nervous about my slow weight loss also.  I hardly eat anything, maybe I'm not eating enough.  I did start Curves today, I hadn't been exercising at all before now.  I almost feel like a failure!

Liz, I think that's great that you joined curves!  I've heard they have a great program!   Kim, I've only lost 34 lbs, including the 12 pre-op.  I eat about 1000 calories a day.  Maybe too much?  My hubby thinks I don't get enough protein, but I eat a lot more protein than I ever used to.  I have been feeling a little weak, like I've lost some steam lately.  Maybe he's right.  I know I don't get enought liquids in, so that could be some of it. Robin, I missed our walk tonight!  Hope you're feeling better and see you Wednsday. Thanks everyone for your posts and encouragement.  I love this group and how it makes our weight loss journeys a little easier and a bit more special. I'll post after my appt tomorrow! Diana
