CindyDianne reminded me!

thanks for the reminder cindydianne!

everything went great last week with the surgeon appointment.

he didn't recognize me. :)

i got the ok to eat anything on the south beach diet, he recommended stage 3 (which i hadn't tried yet...have to get the book back out!) and that i introduce things slowly. i can't know what will or what will not agree with me. so it will be slow going.

he told me that the weightloss will go slower now that i'm introducing more foods so i don't need to worry about losing too much, or going below my desired weight. he says that rarely happens...but understood that my weightloss has been so quick, moreso than the norm, and still quick now that i'm doing all this yoga and weight/resistance training. so, he's not concerned. he said that if i find that happens, up the carbs and fat...but not the sugars. that's what's going to make me sick. i have to watch the sugar alchols, too.

my next appointment isn't until september! that's when we discuss what is needed as far as any surgery for extra skin etc. he has someone he refers people to that is realistic and not too aggressive as far as what he does. that's what i want. if i have to have a tummy tuck or lift or whatever it is, i don't want to look strapped in. i want to look reasonable. boobs? well, that's a given. they will need to be totally reconstructed. even now they're absolutely ridiculous.


125lbs lost for good. perhaps 25 more to make goal. go me!
