10 months

Apr 05, 2010

I've been gone for a while, so I'd thought that an update was needed. I'm 10 months out from my gastric bypass. I'm 193 lbs right now and wearing 10/12 tops and dresses and 14 pants. Honestly, I thought that I would have lost a little more weight by now, but I guess everyone is different. My doctor told me he would like me to lose 40 more pounds. I hope I can do it!

Oh, yeah I cut my hair really short. All the thinning of my hair after surgery (months 3-7) I needed to do something. I stopped using chemicals in my hair. I ended up just cutting all of the relaxed ends and wearing my natural hair. I'll tell you it feels so healthy now and is growing back wonderfully.

As some of you out there may know my number one reason for my having the surgery was because I was diagnosed has having PCOS. After surgery I was on birth-control from August until October. I went off of the contraceptive, because I was curious if my body was working, and sure enough it was! I have been having very regular periods with the exception of this month, which ran a little late. This is the first time every in my life that I have 6 consecutive cycles. My fear is that it's gonna end...But, I'm trying to have faith that everything is going to work out.

Oh well, I'm gonna stop my babbling. Talk to you guys later
