First post op visit

Jan 05, 2009

Dr Graber has agreed that Dr Dent at the Civic Weight Management Clinic will do all my visits.  So today was I weighed in and am down 54 lbs.   Woohoo.  Let me see 9 lbs before surgery and I am in week six.  Sooo 45 divided by 6= 5 lbs per week.  Thought it would be faster.  But,  for the last 4 days my energy has returned.  I am eating more protein (what I can keep down).  Still learning about bite sizes and chewing.  Hard habit to get used to.  My hands and my feet have gone down first.  I will add to my photos in a week or so. 

I was addicted to diet coke prior to surgery and have not had any since.  Coffee I am gradually drinking, but only a cup occasionally not like my usual 3 cups daily pre surgery.

Hardest thing is drinking water. 

I am returning to work tomorrow.  I have only been in 5 days since second week of November.  Got lots of work to catch up on.   Hope my energy levels remain up.
