Flash 55, Take 14

I'm sprawled on the couch
feeling more aroused than I've ever
felt. His hands slide up my
thigh and I tingle with anticipation.
I'm begging him to take me.

I hear a sound like a bomb going off.

My eyes snap open.
It was all a dream and the loud sound
was Mr. Sign farting.

Yes, I wrote this over a year ago but modified it for a 55.

Yesterday, I had my one year weight loss surgery doctor appointment. I had to talk to the (new) dietitian who I could have taught a thing or two. Nothing against them, but they really have no idea about anything that isn't in their manual. I enjoy asking them an out of the box question just to watch them panic when it's not in their book. She yelled at me about using protein shakes. I let her know that since what I'm doing is obviously working for me, I wasn't going to worry about liquid calories.

I was bummed not to be able to meet with the surgeon. I was lucky to have been able to speak to him as much as I have between Mr. Sign's surgery and my gall bladder surgery. I saw the physician's assistant. I really enjoy talking to her. She kept shaking her head as she walked into the room. She told me that all the staff was discussing my progress. Apparently they were amazed. Who knew? She said the most amazing part is the weight loss I've achieved in the last 6 months. Based on that, she thinks I should be able to take off 40-45 pounds in the next year. The average weight loss for the second year is 12-20 pounds.

I've lost 26 inches from my hips and 24 inches from my waist.

They do this body analysis where you stand with bare feet on a metal scale. It measures body fat, impedance and total body water. It breaks down how much of your body is fat. It also tells you how much of your body is bones, muscle and water. The great part is that when my body type came up, it said athletic. I find that kind of comical even though I do have quite a bit of muscle mass.

My blood work came back excellent. My cholesterol is 116 (less than 200 is normal), HDL 38 (should be greater than 59. I'm low here), LDL 69 (less than 100) and triglycerides 43 (less than 150 is normal). My protein and iron were perfect.

Woot!! I'm healthy! I could have told them that based on how I feel now. I've never felt better. Had I not carried all that weight around (170 pounds) for so many years, I'm not sure I'd know how great I feel today .
