Week 14 - feeling Great!

Jan 07, 2014

It's week 14, wow the time has flown.   I had my 3 Month follow up with my Surgeon, Nutritionist and Psychologist this morning.  All said I am right on target or doing well.  Improvements is to be more consistent with my Vitamins, I have gotten lazy with taking part in the morning but skipping the evening ones. So we have moved most to just the mornings, so that should help. 

GREAT news is I am officially down 60 lbs since starting this journey and 49 since surgery date ( I lost 11 on the pre-op low carb diet).  I am feeling hopeful and proud.  Definitely energized for the road ahead.

Issues: I have started getting bouts of heart burn, which they are going to keep me on omeprazole. Hair is starting to fall out, not noticeably, but I see more in the shower and brushing my hair now, I have added Biotin in my vitamins.  Also, I am starting to notice irritation/moisture under the lose skin, particularly in the lower abdomen and inner thigh areas. The Doc says this is normal and as the weight comes off this may increase. If I notice any irritation call him but for now he gave me some powder to place in those areas.

My gym time is becoming more of a happy place, its still hard to be dedicated and can still be swayed, but once I am there, I seem to enjoy it now.  I am going to look into a couple 5ks to do for fun to work towards and challenge myself.  I can't over do it but even walking them would be a great achievement.

Feeling good!
