My surgeon



Recommended Posts

Points funny how we like to show ourselves off to our surgeon. I like being a success and I hope the docs are proud too. My daughter is having her surgery this Friday so I get to see my MX surgeon one year exactly from my surgery. I'm excited.. Plus hopefully it's warm down there compared to here

;)

That's great! I'm sure your surgeon will be happy to see the progress, I bet they don't get to see it much with having most of their patients living out of country. Good luck to your daughter also!

Ha! Funny, I was reading your post Laura, and when I got home from work I had a message on my phone from my bariatric Docs office to come in for a 3 year checkup! I am so glad I weight a little less than the last time I was there instead of 22 pounds up pre 5:2! My last visit must have been at one year....

So happy for you that you have ARRIVED! Take that victory lap and enjoy it, sister, because you deserve it. I am also looking forward to my one year appointment, and I also want him to be pleased, though I'm not sure why. Our success is their success, so I suppose we have a common goal. Anyway, your selfie is proof that the number is just a number. You look great!

The thing is I just wanted to walk in there and step on that scale and be solidly in the 140's (with clothes on) I'm 149 so that means getting to at least 146 unclothed..

But the good part of that "blowing" your stupid goal? I Thought I'm going to at least look good You know the drill wearing the lightest clothes you can... Screw it! I layered up the wazoo. I've got two sweaters on, an undershirt heavy jeans my studded belt and a heavy necklace Stepped on my home scale and I read 153!!! Lol from 149 to that!!

I went to the doctors office and didn't even take my shoes off (you know every ounce counts) :P

Oh the doctors scale said 152 Note to self is scale takes off a pound at doctors. I'll remember that next time :D

Shoot, LV, don't stop yourself from talking to the newbies in the waiting room, show them the success, give them hope, get them excited! As for Iron, can you incorporate more Iron rich foods in your diet, like spinach etc? Also, I lol'd at your scale machinations, I happen to know *for a fact* that my boots weight 7.1 pounds, and that all of my clothes weigh a surprising 4 lbs, and any time I am weighed by a Drs office I am quick to point that out!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
