I had my 6-wk post-op appt today... I'm "STELLAR" according to my surgeon.
- I can take pills now (yay)
- I can eat solids now - focusing on protein, of course (I'll have to go slowly as Thumbelina is not liking to work too hard)
- My daily protein should be between 60 and 73 grams (at 2 wks it was 75-90!)
- I can stop taking Folic Acid and extra Vitamin D... lab tests show I don't need them
- I've lost 20% of my excess weight (assuming my goal is 135 - ha!)
- Adding protein and starting aqua classes netted a 5 pound loss in a week!
Next check up will be at 3 months (early May) with full blown lab work...
I'm on my way... and this ride downhill is AWESOME!
