I've been horrible about updating, but here I am. I am down 71 pounds and it will be 4 months out for me as of 8/14. I'm feeling better, except for fatigue every now and then. My back and knees don't hurt anymore, and I am feeling better about myself. I am able to tolerate more foods and eat a tad bit more. I am able to take vitamins that are not chewable, which is major for me. The chewables were making me sick. I still can't tolerate protein shakes, but I try to get at least 70 grams in a day. It is a daily goal that I work at continuously.
My hair is shedding, but for now it isn't very noticable. I have thick hair, so that helps. However, I will more than likely go ahead and get it cut. I think I'll do that when I'm down 100lbs, which is only 29 lbs away. Are you kidding me? I've never lost more than 60 lobs in my whole life, so I've already surpassed that. It is amazing, and I thank God for allowing me to get RNY, as I would be 370 lbs by now if I hadn't have gotten it.
I notice that I clean the house more and read more. I am finding things to do to fill the time besides eating. I'm enjoying it, and I am spending more time in prayer and meditation with the Lord. God is an awesome wonder!
Exercise? Well, I need to step this up a lot. I'm dusting off my bike and I will strt riding it and then walking. I don't know why the motivation was lacking. I can't make any excuses. I just need to go out there and move it.
I've gone from a size 30/32 to a 18/20 top and 22/24 bottom. I'm excited about all that is happening. It has been a ride with ups and downs, but it is wonderful to not feel like food is controlling my every waking moment. That storm is over. My new challenge is to use this tool to get the weight off and develop new habits. With God's help, I will do it.
Until next time, be blessed and keep the faith.
