I saw my DS surgeon today. Initial conversation:

Dr: "How are you doing?"

Me: I'm so cute! (laugh) You have created a monster!

Dr: That's HIS problem! (gesturing toward my husband)

Me: And I have Body Dysmorphic Disorder, but backwards. Most patients still think of themselves as fat. I feel so good that when we pass by a mirror, I wonder who the fat chick is who's holding hands with my husband!!

I need to add one Vitamin tablet (Dry ADEK's.) I asked if I needed additional Protein. I was told that almost EVERYONE--wls or not--needs more protein. (And I'm trying a new product as soon as its delivered.) My ferritin stores are fairly low, but as I have been post-menopausal for almost thirty years, he doesn't see that as a problem, so he doesn't recommend Iron at this time. I'm to return in six months.

On his high-rent-district scales, I weigh 75 pounds less than I did a week pre-op. But I had just been unfilled, so we KNOW what kind of a Last Supper week that was.

That was MY day...how are y'all doin'?

Sue, you look great! I am really happy for you that this is working so well for you! I love before/after pics, they are so inspiring!
