Perks or not so Perks?

So I'm not sure if I mentioned that the doctor that did my surgery is located right around the corner from me. I have at times lunch with his secretary. That's how close his office is located near my counter. I usually hear him come in  (I'm located in a flippin hallway, not a cubicle, not a certain place with a real desk, I have a counter) and he'll say "hi, good morning, etc". Today I was standing up making copies and faxing and he happened to come from around the corner. I had already heard him this morning passing by. I happened to be making copies and faxing when he comes around the corner and for the first time, I caught him looking at me up and down. I dont mean in a flirty way. I mean in a patient/phyiscian type of way. I presume he was looking at my progress from the ground up. Alot of people ask me if I see a difference. I dont see it like I mentioned in early posts. I see certain things, like my neck, my turso and I have always worn elastic-waisted skirts/pants. I cant even tell you the last time I wore real "pants" such as jeans. So to notice my waist shrinkage is very slim because elastic sits whereever the waist may be. I will say that some pants are feeling loose, feeling somewhat bigger by my waist/tummy section. Yes, clothes are starting to fit loosely. I dont even own a belt! If you make a fist and put it between the material and my back side, the fist will be able to fit between the two. So yes, I suppose I am loosing weight, not at the rate I would like but I am loosing weight. Today when he looked at me, it was weird, my pants were loose and I hope I didnt look bummy. This is the very first time I seen him do this. Naturally when I go for an office visit, the nurse weighs you and I sit on a chair and talk to him. Never does he measure me let alone see my physical apperance first hand. I'm hoping that when he checked me out today, he was pleased with my progress. So the perks of working with the doctor that did your surgery I'm not so sure are perks but much more less no perks due to the stress that one may feel that their surgeon sees them on a daily basis and you better be following the rules to the T. Not that I dont because I do but you get the jist of what Im trying to say. The only thing he would be displeased about right about now withme is the fact that my water intake is very low. Will I tell him that on my next visit? HELL NO! But I know I must drink water and its a work in process! Why lie about it? I dont like drinking water but I know I need to in order to be healthy.

OH and one more thing, Im so tired of popping vitamins every damn single day! UGH! Especially the gallstone preventer one! Oh and lets not forget the iron vitamin. That one is horrible but as I mentioned, it must be done for the rest of my life because I choose to have this surgery and everything that came along with it including the water and vitamin intake! I have the right to vent about it, it doesnt mean I will stop doing it because that is not the case. I just get tired of popping pills every morning before heading out to work or start the beginning of my day. It's silly actually and Im just being bratty!
