12 weeks post op/3 month check up

Hey everyone!! I hope everyone is doing well. It has now been 12 weeks since surgery. Like I said in the last few posts, I can't believe how fast these 12 weeks went. I also can't believe how great I feel. I still can say that I am certainly glad that I had this surgery.

Yesterday I had my 3 month follow up with Dr Shapiro. It went very well. I had to fill out a questionnaire on my progress so far. I filled out a small list about what foods I am eating and what times I am having my meals. I also listed the liquids that I have been drinking. He was concerned because I was not getting any Carbs in with my breakfast. He gave me some suggestions to add some carbs with my breakfast. I also checked all the "much better" categories under the "how has my life and health improved" section. The reason why I checked "much better" with all those is because it is true. Everything that I do routinely every day is much better. I go and see the doctor again in a month, September 7th.

My weight loss is down to 90 pounds. It's hard to believe in 12 short weeks I have lost more weight than all the weight loss combined throughout my life.

On the 19th I will be taking my three month post op pictures. Watch out for those. I am certain that you will definitely see a change from even my two month pictures.

One more thing. Dr Shapiro took me off the chewable vitamins and the B-1 Vitamin. I am now able to swallow pills whole. I am taking the Multi-vitamin for men, Citrical +D, and B100 complex vitamin. I did swallow them all whole this morning and they went down quite well. I had no problems. I did space them out, I did not take them all at once. I did feel the first whole pill go down and I was really worried but that feeling quickly went away. So far so good.

I hope that everyone has a great weekend. I will update you all on how the medications go.
