The Dr is very well pleased with my progress. I have dropped from 319 to 284.6 a total of 35 pounds. I no longer have to crush my medicines and place in Applesauce,but rather swallow one pill every 5 minutes. I was glad to hear that because crushed medicines in my food,made my food have a very foul taste.I complained to him that much of the time I feel weak,He smiles and told me I probably will till Easter. He explained I had a major surgery on my stomach,plus due to a previous abdominal surgery I had a ton of scar tissue he had to remove so I won't have an abundance of energy for quite a while. He suggested that I start taking B complex vitamin as it may help with my energy level,not a written promise,but it might help.I was asked by Pat99 about the reason I wasn't allowed to take in powdered whey protein from day 1. I was told it is because the stomach is what you might say kinda raw from surgery,and they wanted to take no chances in a powdered protein clumping up and causing a blockage so he preferred a liquid protein diet for my first seven days after surgery. I can start taking in a little bit of meat Sept 30th as long as it is pureed. In October a month from my surgery date he said to progress on to stage three diet. The next appointment will be in December if all goes well. All in all I was very and am very pleased,and losing 35 pounds feels super great. Hope you all have a wonderful evening.
