Post Surgery Follow-Up

So with mixed emotions, I made my way to Marina Del Rey to visit my Lap Band doctor.  I had a heavy heart because I felt I had been eating way too much as of late and thought I didn't lose any pounds.  The other part of me was excited to get an "actual" reading from the doctors scale. Lo and behold, or as my brother Jose would say "Fua", I did it!  I lost another 6.5 pounds.  This brings my weight down to 268.5! 

While visiting my doctor, the pouch (or port) in my body got refilled and that meant an all liquid diet for the day.  Thank goodness!  He also checked my existing meds and asked if I was still taking blood pressure meds.  I said yes, however, I will triple check this with my primary doctor.  I have asked him if I can stop taking these, however, he still won't take me off them.  Soon... very soon!

My doctor also reminded me to walk and/or do exercise.  I told him how hard this is post-surgery.  I walk and I get winded right away.  Of course, I am just plain lazy too! 

My next appointment is on September 1, 2011.  Hopefully the results will be just as good.
