My Visit with a Recent "Graduate"

Today I went to the doctor's office and met with a nurse practitioner.  I was really glad I did as she had a great Barix experience and has lost over a third of her excess weight in just under three months. 

Some points that really "connected" with me:

• she was a "carb craver"
  
• she did not feel full
  
• occasional bad choices did not seem to equal weight gain
• concern about health and appearance
• bad knees
• trouble sleeping

Some points that gave me encouragement:

• no regrets, no negatives
• back to work in two weeks
• feel terrific - knee pain gone
• able to eat most foods now
• feeling full really does happen!
• body stores fewer calories as fat (less absorbed calories) "Today I had tea and a cookie at break - one cookie, not five - and less of that cookie was absorbed." 
• looks forward to weekly weigh-ins
• Barix is wonderful

If I had any doubts they are gone. 

I hope to get the "all clear" from the cardiologist a week today.  That is the last step in my approval.  I will then be getting ready for "take-off"... (yes, a double meaning... no, not that one; clean your minds...)
