three months out

Jan 22, 2011

HW: 311
SW: 297 (down 14)
CW: 238 (down 73 lbs total / 59  lbs since surgery)

Adjustments, adjustments, adjustments. That's all I can say.

HEALTH WISE:
I had my 3 month labs done and the iron issue is back. My iron levels are extremely low. I and thinking that I may need another infusion.  I am supposed to be getting 115 g of protein per day and that is hard for me. I don't think there's been one day where I have made my goal with protein. My cholesterol [which has NEVER been an issue] is now high...hmmm. My sugar levels are also high. Which was one issue before surgery that hasn't gotten better. Not sure what's happening because I don't eat suger. Everything I eat has 6 to 7 grams or less. So I am headed to all my doctors to try and figure this thing out.

I can't eat bread anymore...it's not worth the sickness. Not that bread was top of my list but it just makes me sick now. 

Over the xmas holiday, i slacked on my exercising. I am getting back on track this week so that's good.

SELF WISE:
I am not buying clothes. I actually got rid of a lot of clothes. Our bariatric program is doing a clothing swap and I donated a lot of clothes during the holiday to the Goodwill.

My wedding dress..a few months before the surgery I tried it on and I couldn't even zip it up. I tried it on while my sis was here from Vegas for the holidays and IT WAS TOO BIG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHEW HEW!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is amazing. Jeans that have been hanging in my closet that I was wishing one day I'd get back into are now too big. I have gone from a size 26 to an 18 in 3 months...this is amazing and a Blessing. No shopping sprees. I am trying ot hold off buying clothes. Getting ready to go on a trip via airplane and this will be the first time in a long time that i don't have to worry about a seatbelt extender :) I am so excited.

That's all for now. Wishing you all success and Blessings!
