Nothing says "Be my Valentine" like preserved meat.
Feb 14, 2011
This is my first valentines day since surgery and its been great. My husband and I exchanged gifts this morning and he got me a heart shaped tin that he filled with my favorite beef jerky. Nothing says Happy Valentines Day like preserved meat. Lol! I got such a good giggle out if it. I never thought I would be so excited about getting dehydrated meat. He is the best husband a girl could have. 
3 months out today
Feb 08, 2011
Well, I cant believe its only been three months. All of my eating hobbits have become second nature and I'm having no problem with getting the protein/water I need. The one thing I have had trouble with is my iron levels. Despite taking 3 iron supplements a day I cant seem to get my levels up where they need to be. I'm having some lab work done tomorrow to see if things have improved. Other than the iron thing, life has been great. We have moved into out new home (still no kitchen) and almost everything has been unpacked. My biggest stress right now it what color to paint the living room.I had a check up with my surgeon last Wednesday and he said I'm right on track. I'm down to 186 lbs from 264 lbs (Jan '10). That makes a grand total of 78 lbs lost so far. Ive lost 48 lbs since surgery. I only have 36 lbs to go until I hit my goal of 150! At the rate I'm going, Ill be there in no time. Ive noticed my hair has thinned a bit but not badly by any means. I think my Biotin has helped me with that. I'm feeling good and looking great. I don't have any new pictures as of yet but Ill be sure to post some in the next day or so.
