Post Op Update

I had my 3 month post op appointment with the Dietitian and Dr Walton today. Both went very well. I met first with Jessica. She reviewed what I have been eating and I am right on track as far as what I should be eating and my current portion size. I am up to about a 1/2 cup and eating a good variety of mostly protein foods. She said by 9 months I should be up to a cup, but this could start as early as 6 months. For now I am to continue to eat protein first and veggies as space allows. Fruits are last and should remain limited due to the larger carbohydrate content. I did ask her about the Juice Plus supplement that someone suggested. She said she considers this a "fad product". Although it would not hurt me, she feels I am taking enough supplements that it really is not necessary.
After Jessica I met with Dr Walton. He figured up that I have lost 40 % of my excess body weight to date and said I am doing awesome. I am feeling great and have more energy than I have had in years. I don't have to go back for 3 months.
I got done sooner than expected so I went back to the office to check on an issue I had left hanging. I opened my email to find a very welcomed email. Check Giorgi's blog for an update there too!
