Dr. says I'm doing great :o)

June 14, 2006

Good morning everyone! I went to the Dr. yesterday for the first

time since surgery week... and he says I'm doing great! WOOHOO!! I'm

down to 230.5 (started at 286) and I can TASTE the 220's... I'm

almost there!!! I can't even imagine how excited I'll be when I hit

199... OMG!!

Anyway, I took all my stuff to him... protein, vites, questions,

etc. The only thing he wasn't sure about was my sublingual B tabs

from Trader Joe's. They have B-12, B-6, and Folic Acid (I guess

that's not quite what a B-Complex pill has). He said to take them

for now and we'll do labwork for my next appt (in three months) and

see how all my levels are. Also, he didn't know why my tailbone is

hurting, so I'll assume it's to do with the weight loss. I hope it

will lessen over time as my body adjusts. )

We're going to Disneyland for 6 days at the end of September and I

CAN'T WAIT to run around the park and hop on and off rides at my new

weight!!! In fact, I contacted Disneyland several months ago and

explained my special dietary needs, asking if I could bring special

food items in the park with me. They said yes, with a Dr's note. So

my Dr. wrote me a note yesterday!

I also got something cool from Dr. P... it's a card that I can use

when we go out to eat that says " The bearer of this card has

undergone major stomach surgery. As a result of the surgery, this

individual is limited to the intake of very small quantities of

food. Please accomodate this individual's medical needs by allowing

him/her to order limited portions of food, such as a child's plate

or off the seniors menu " . Interesting, huh? I don't know that I'll

use it, but what the heck... I'll stick it in my wallet.

Okay, I'e rambled hehe. Have an awesome day! )
