Hey, I went to see the Dr. that did my surgery. He was very happy with my progress. Since I saw him in March I have lost 34 more pounds. That is a total of 75lbs. since the surgery and 113lbs. since October when I began. All my blood was good except for my protein level, that was down and he said that I needed to start drinking the protein powder or do protein bars. He also said that I didn't need the nurse to come by any more. I even went in to see the dietitian and welcome her back, she had a baby boy in March I believe. I wanted to ask her how much protein I should have each day and she said around 100 grams. I also asked her about tortillas, and she said to make sure they are not to dry, its different than bread.
Now the bad news, Dr. Camacho is leaving next month to work in New York. He had said something about it back in March I believe but didn't sound positive that it was a done deal. He asked me for a hug and I thanked him for all that he has done for me. He told me that I would do well with Dr. Reyes and Dr. Garza. I really hate to see him go, but he did stay until I was healed, Judi told him he couldn't leave until I was healed.
I am going to go see my family doctor tomorrow to make sure my sugar readings are okay since I've been off the medicine for 3 weeks, and hope that she will take me off the water pill since my ankles and feet haven't been swelling very much since I've lost the weight.
That's all for now.
