So last week I had a three week check up with Dr. Hagen....
The whole appt only lasted about 3 minutes. Dr. Hagen weighed me asked if I had any questions or concerns. I said nope and he says I'm doing great and that I will be very happy I did this. And he wants to see me in 3 months.
So far I have lost 35 pounds... Ive been sitting at that for over a week now.. and although I know its normal it was still nice to have the reassurance that everything was normal and that I'm right on track. He thinks I should easily lose 30 - 40 pounds in the next 3 months.. and he said he thinks Ill be able to lose 150 pounds no problem :)
Not sure if it was worth the 4 hour round trip but oh well...
And today I had my one month check up at HRRH with the dietitian. I had Denise who I know some people have complained about... I'm guessing it worked because I have met with her twice now and both times they went very well.
Again I was weighed.. and now am at 295 (39 pounds lost with clothes on) since I started optifast.
My BMI when I started this was 55.... I am now at 49 :)
I'm finally out of the pureed stage and I'm able to start soft solid food and work my way up to crunchy and normal! I'm so excited.. and nervous to try new things... I'm just glad I can start to get back to my new normal routine lol

I was sent to PATTS again for more blood work.. apparently my hemoglobin and iron is low... soo much blood they took!!!!!!! Thank god I dont have to go through that again for a while!
And now on to the next stage of my journey... exercise! Ive been walking alot more than I'm used to and now with the puppy and walking back and forth to work... its daily. i was thinking about joining Curves.. but after talking to a lot of people on the forum I'm starting to think its not the best route for me. So I'm looking into other options... I really want to join a Zumba class.. but I'm scared I wont be able to keep up with everyone yet lol....
So far things haven't been as hard as I expected... but its still hard. Thank god for my husband... he has been my rock through this! its nice to start to be able to see results though... my clothes are definitely getting looser... and I'm not sure how much longer my wedding rings are going to stay on!
Anyway I'm doctor free for the next 3 months ... which is so nice since it takes me forever to get there and back!
Life is good :)
