My first post-op visit with the doctor

I went for my first visit to see the doctor since my surgery last Thursday.  It went very well.  He said that I did amazing with the surgery (better than most) and he attributed that to how well I did before my surgery.  He did say that I was still a little dehydrated and that I needed to push the fluids but other than that I was doing great!  I also met with the psychiatrist and the nutritionist.  The psychiatrist told me that my original estimated weight loss was 70% of my body weight and that because I did so well before surgery I may even exceed that.  The nutritionist told me that I was doing great and to try to get a little more protein in.  She suggested adding another protein shake each day.  I am still working on that.  I felt really good when I left the office knowing that I had did my best before surgery and that I was moving right along since surgery.  This is getting easier and easier each day and I am so thankful that I was able to do this.  Only 9 more lbs. and I will have hit my first goal of 100 lbs.  I can't wait to see that!  The doctor did tell me to give myself at least another week before I go to the gym since I have started back full-time to work.  He said he didn't want me overdoing it and that he considered me still in the "fresh out of surgery" stage.  He also told me that most people get a surge of energy around week 6 which is where I am at today.  I am looking forward to that as well!  I weigh in Wednesday so I will let you know how that turns out then!  Until then.....have a blessed day!
