Ok its been a long while since i have updated my profile, so here goes.  I am almost 7 months post-op.  I have lost a total of 81 pounds.  I am off all medication minus vitamins and calcium. 

I am almost 12 weeks along in my 2nd pregnancy.  So far everything is going well.  I went to the Dr yesterday and was told that I might have to go back on Insulin just for the duration of my pregnancy.  THAT SUCKS.  I have gone from a size 24 to a 16 and am loving it.  I hope that after this pregnancy I will be able to continue to lose and reach my goal of 100 pounds.

Well, Thats it for now.

I had my 3 month check up yesterday and everything is going good.  I have lost 61#'s and am now off all medications.

The only problem i have now is trying to keep cloths that fit.

4 weeks out
on May 8, 2008 8:49 am
Well tomorrow I will be 4 weeks out, and I feel like I am at a stall.  I don't think the scales have moved all week.  First out of surgery I tried to only weigh once a week, now since the scales are not moving, I am finding that I weigh everyday.  
One thing that I have noticed, I still try and eat for comfort.  Haven't quite found anything that makes me feel as good yet.  Still worried about protien and fluid intake.  I go back to the Dr. on Monday, so hopefully I will get some good news.

First day back to work today.  I muct say it was a long day.  So far I have been able to keep down everything that I have eaten.  Although sometimes it feels like its hard to breath.  I asked my doc about that, and he said that it was sometimes normal.  Since the diaphram sits onto of the stomach, or vise versa.  I don't feel like I get enough protein.  I think I'm obsessed about it, I just really don't want to lose my hair.  I have tried the Isopure and the Nu Whey bullets neither were a sucess.  Today at WM I found a Protien drink that is like a Starbuck's drink.  It was really good, just really high in sugar as well.  

Till next time
