So Thursday was 18 weeks since my surgery. And I feel great! I am down another pound and hit 140. I was hoping to be under 140 for my appointment with my surgeon today to be in the 130's....so close but no cigar. And I am ok with that. I know it is just a matter of time.

I did go see my surgeon and he was very pleased with my results and progress. I have not seen him since December (a month post op). He was pleased that I have had no side effects other than the hair loss (which is still not that bad). He told me that since I am doing well and have no issues that I don't need to come back for another 6 months. Naturally he reminded me that I can call or make an appointment any time I need anything. But truly, I am good and anything I need I can do with my PCP who is much closer to my house than my surgeon.

So I followed up with my PCP today as well. Just as I suspected, still need to remain on the BP meds. He stated that he thinks I should be able to get off of them by the end of summer. Will follow up in 3 months to see how it is going. My bloodwork was all good. I had previously (before surgery) had elevated liver enzymes. Today they had dropped drastically and were in the good healthy range!! My PCP was very pleased with that. I have lost 14 lbs since I saw him 8 weeks ago. Comes out to 1.75 lbs a week. Not too bad. I knew I had been averaging 1-2 lbs a week and this further confirms it.

Tomorrow we are going to a golf tournament. We go at this time every year. Usually while my husband golfs I take my kids to the beach. Unfortunately this year the weather sucks. So it is just going to be my 15 year old going with us. We will have a girls day while my hubby golfs. Shopping, lunch, nail salon, and possibly even the hair salon. I am debating if I want to get a little cut off.

And today I had taken off because of the 2 doctors appointments I had. It was very relaxing. Now I am watching Moana with my daughter. So far it is adorable. And it just started storming and all I could think is thank God I am snuggled up at home instead of having to drive home in this crap.

Happy Friday everyone!!
