6 WEEK FOLLOW-UP

I had my six week follow-up appointment today with my surgeon. I have lost a total of 40 pounds! Alice said I am doing great and I don't go back until December. I am finally getting "hunger pains" and have been eating more real food. I need to try some real meat instead of deli meat. I still love my Unjury Chocolate Shakes for Breakfast.

After my appointment, I met Brooke and her Mom, Annette. Brooke is having revision surgery tomorrow afternoon! I am so thrilled for her to have this opportunity. Please keep her in your thoughts tomorrow for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery. I will talk to Annette tomorrow evening to make sure Brooke is doing well. They are staying in Fresno until she has her first follow-up appointment so I will see her again before she heads back home.

I DON'T WANT TO EAT!

I am going to get yelled at next Wednesday when I have my 6 week follow-up appointment with my surgeon. I still have no desire to eat real food. I am drinking Unjury with Carb Countdown and having tuna about once a week. I tried a few peaches, tomatoes, 1/2 of a banana, marinated garbanzo beans, salad, and deviled ham(YUK). I am not hungry and make sure I get in my protein and water everyday. I haven't weighed myself since I will have an official weigh-in next Wednesday. I know I have lost because my pants have the baggy-butt syndrome and I fit into a tank top I haven't worn in 8 years.
Last week I started having horrible cramps that lasted 9 days. I am seriously looking into having Uterine Ablation since I am not having any more kids and I can't deal with 9 days of pain and PMS until Menopause. Not even my morphine touched the pain and I was yelling at my husband to "just shoot me now". He has been very patient and understanding about me not feeling up to cooking, so once I felt better I BBQ'D a huge Porterhouse Steak for him and baked a yam. He got 3 meals out of it. I guess living on Healthy Choice dinners since I had surgery shrunk his stomach too.
My Birthday is on Tuesday so I emailed Alan my Wish List. This is the first thing on my list: http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11005162&whse=BC&topnav=&browse=
Then I wrote that I would be just as happy with a new purse and a pair of Temper-Pedic Slippers. Of course he asked me yesterday if I really wanted the bracelet or spend the money on the house remodeling we are planning and I said "I want BOTH". I am sure I will get the new purse and slippers but he may surprise me. Who can figure out men?
