One month check up

[Christinamo7 4,042]

Today I had my one month follow up, Doctor said I was right where I need to be with weight loss and recovery, they are pleased with my diet and the changes I am seeing. They did add back on my Water pill as my fingers have been puffy and my water intake is exceptional.

it is interesting how each doctor has a plan that varies, but he said I was released to any activities and can take any OTC medications needed including Ibuprofen.

I love the print out they give when they weigh me, it lists the calories needed to maintain your weight and it helps me to know where my calories need to be to continue to loose. Right now I am only managing about half what would be needed to maintain, so no matter if the scale gets stuck or moves, I can be confident that it will move at this level of eating.

In addition I had my best fasting blood sugar ever this morning and since diabetes what what drove me to seek the surgery I am thrilled.

Glad it's going well so far! Make sure you don't keep your calories TOO low. Especially if you're now cleared for exercise. You will need to increase your calories as you increase you exercise in order for your metabolism to not slow way down.
