 Just wanted to drop in and let everyone know that I had my 1 week check up with the doctor and nutritionist today.  First and foremost, I am doing much better.  I feel great and am ready to take on the world.  However, I know that I need to take it slow and pay close attention to everything going on. 

The doctor office said everything look well and to just keep it up.  I love the staff at Vanderbilt Surgical Weight Loss Clinic.  They are truly amazing and supportive.

Okay, now on the the more exciting news.  When I weighed in at my pre-op visit 3 weeks prior to surgery, I was 302.  I weighed in today at 285.5 lbs.  That is a loss of 16.5 lbs basically in 4 weeks.  I am trying to only use the scale at the doctors office since that is the one that is being used as the official weight.  Therefore, when I weighed on surgery day (this was not the usually scale) I weighed in at 296.5.  That could be true since I only have liquids the day before surgery.  Regardless, I am officially down 39.5 lbs from my highest weight in June of 2009.

Thanks again for all the support and prayers.  I look forward to posting the future about my progress.
