3 Month Post Op Visit

Tomorrow is the 3 month post op visit with the surgeon and I am dreading it. Today was the blood draw and I am almost hoping the results are not back in time. Am I losing weight? Yes but I do not feel healthy and am terrified of what the labs will show. None of this is rational, it is just how I feel and needed to vent about it.

    Well...look at it this way. If there is something off then now is the time to find out and do something about it. I pray you are right on track but if not let them give you all the help you may need

    Hang in there! If you're doing everything your doctor recommended and you're losing weight, you should be fine. Don't over think it. Sending you good vibes.

Thanks very much for the replies and support. The visit went well, he is pleased with my weight loss but is now insisting that I exercise on a regular basis. I know this but mentally the idea of losing calories when I am eating so few is a major challenge, has been from the beginning.

The labs were a little questionable since I had a delay in finding Vitamins that could be tolerated after surgery. Vitamin D was low but it's been so since before surgery so that does not concern me right now. My cholesterol jumped 20 points in three months(!) and my AC1 is elevated. I have NEVER had an elevated glucose level, fasting or not, and this has set me on edge. Doc says this was the body reacting to surgery over the time period and the new way of eating but still.

I have a visit scheduled with my PCP in about a week and will have her pull labs again to double check these results.
