I had my 3-month check-up today. My bloody blood tests did not get faxed to the surgeon so he had no lab results. Ay-yay-yay!

He did not seem concerned about my low vitamin D and said to take a total of 800 to 1000 units of vitamin D. That is about twice the US RDA. I bought Bariatric Advantage dry Vitamin D, but he said it is too high with 5000 IU. I’m sure as heck not wasting these bad boys, so I will take about a 1/5th per day.

Despite all the talk I see about mourning the holidays after RNY, I can’t agree. I totally enjoyed my Thanksgiving dinner.

Let’s see, I ate:

• A chicken drumstick with skin (I thought it was dark meat turkey, but later found it was chicken. It looked better than the white meat and was delicious! Didn’t miss turkey at all.)
• Stuffing
• Yams
• Corn
• Stuffed mushroom
• Macaroni & Cheese
