Well today is my 3 month surgiversary. I'm going to do my measurements tonight but....did a little last night and I have lost a considerable amount in my legs. I have lost a total of 64 pounds so this past month has been a lot slower loss, but I still LOST. I had some issues this month with chronic constipation and had some test done to prove that's what it was since I was in a lot of pain in my lower abdomen. But now I'm doing daily benefiber in my drinks to help add fiber. I saw Dr Sherman on Friday and he is pleased with my results (weight loss and lab results) and said that my weight loss would probably slow down some now since that 3 month mark has hit so I reallly have to up the exercise and up the water in take, which is something I needed to do anyway. I am dealing with a lot of skin rashes because of extra skin so I just recently purchased some Spanx to try and help with that. Boy did my husband and I have a good laugh trying to pour me in to that yesterday morning before church. I'm making sure my internist doucments all that so when the time comes for Plastics down the road I'll have documentation of the skin rashes and infections.
It feels so good now because I have people that have no idea that I had the surgery are really noticing my weight loss and telling me that they can tell I've lost a lot. I've been very fortunate that everyone has been so supportive of me and my surgery. I haven't had really any one say anything negative about it. Maybe one person and she is also a very heavy person and said when her doctor suggested weight loss surgery to her she wasn't interested. I'm hoping I can show her the positive outcomes that can happen with it so she may eventually be motiviated to do it (if it's the right decision for her).
Anyway, thanks for taking the time to check out my profile and read my little blobs of information. :) If anyone ever has any questions please feel free to ask. :) I'm here to help!
