A long-overdue update

Oct 11, 2013

...but only a brief one. I have lots to write about and all of it deserves more thought than I have time for at the moment. 

I've been struggling lately. But this afternoon I had a follow-up appointment with the ARNP at my surgeon's office and I got a referral to a counselor experienced with bariatric issues. I really, really need that. Which surprises me; up until a month and a half or maybe eight weeks ago, I'd felt remarkably sane. Anyway, like I said: I'll write more about this later. 

For now, I'm taking a moment to be pleased that my recent lab work looks good. Cholesterol good, blood sugar good, vitamin D a little low because lol Pacific Northwest, calcium somehow a little high. Beyond taking some vitamin D and taking less calcium, I'm apparently doing what I should be doing, supplement-wise.

And right now, despite some highly self-destructive behavior that I'm sure I'll write about soon, I weigh less than I ever have as an adult. Since I hit my adult height. Since I started puberty, probably. (WEIRD. I have Lots of Feelings about that, too.)

Anyway, the husband and I have to head out but I will try to compose a thoughtful (and reasonably concise) post about what I've been up to and what's been going on inside my head. I think keeping up with this blog, even if no one reads it, will be good for me from an accountability perspective. So there's a goal: update the blog regularly.
