Update from my 1 month doctor appointment.



Recommended Posts

Went to the doctor today ......great appointment .....Dr. is thrilled with my weight loss 32 pounds in 30 days and was told that the reason I was having so much difficulty with pureed food is because I was not taking my priolosec. Dr. says that I am to proceed on to solid food .....sometimes we called this the mushy phase but he said I cannot use my blender .....I want so much to use it but he said I have to get over the fear of eating real table food..today for dinner I had went to Taco Bell to feed my kids and I got a side order of pinto Beans with cheese it was amazing..... just a few bites and i took my tome and it went down just fine ....I'm so much happier :-)

Other NSV's

I was definitely told to get the on uninjury Protein just like you folks said

I was told that the changes in taste that I had experienced was coming from being in ketosis

I was told that my sleeve is functioning 100% correctly

I was told that my calorie levels were acceptable

I was told that working out with an excellent thing for me to do and to continue to do as that would support lean muscle mass

I was told that for pain I could take tromadol and I no longer needed to be concerned with ibuprofen if I did not want to

The last great win was that my gallbladder medicine is going to be converted from a capsule to a liquid and Felipe is thrilled!

I feel much, much, much better!!!!!

Thanks for all of the great support everyone!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
