4 Month Check-up w/ labs
Nov 27, 2010
Had my latest dr's appt on Tuesday and it was a nice as the last one. My iron TRIPLED, which is phenomenal because I was extremely low prior to surgery. I was at 27 and moved up to 89 after surgery! I still have a ways to go, but this means I'm doing things right. I have to bump up my Vit D, so I've added more with my calcium. I'll go back in 2 months and do it all over again.This time, I weighed 220 which means a loss of 52 pounds in 4 months (how cool!), and a loss of 18 since my last appointment. I found that 17.5 of those pounds were from fat loss alone. Sweet! I'm enjoying the slow and steady loss because I just didn't look forward to dropping tons right away and not having a chance to get used to it. Sounds strange, but I've never been thin my entire life, so I don't want to rush into it.
I'm now on to my oldest clothes, which are size 18 (from a 22/24 pants and 3X tops). I'm running out of those, but plan to wear everything until I positively can't any longer. I'll only buy 2 pairs of pants at a time because I don't want to waste money on something I'll be out of soon enough.
Off to see my sister, mom and aunt this next weekend for a girls trip. We're heading off to Treasure Island and staying Friday through Monday. I haven't seen my sister or aunt since surgery, and my mom since the end of September. I definitely have changed since then, so it will be fun.
