Well its been a while since I updated on here.  There's really not much to say.  I'm down about 85 lbs in 5 months which is good.  Of course I was hoping for more.  But 85 lbs in 5 months isn't too shabby.  The only problem I am having with my surgery is now that I've had it I can't find any birth control that works right and regulates my monthly cycles.  I've tried the nuvaring and now on Femcon which is a chewable birth control pill.  I'm still having 2 periods a month.  Which is getting a little aggravating since prior to my surgery I had to take provera just to have 1 once a year.  But my ob/gyn said give this Femcon one more month and if I'm still having the same problems to let her know and we will try something else.  So I hope we can get something that will work and only give me 1 period a month.  I didn't even realize I haven't posted pictures since I was 2 months out.  So I will get some new pictures posted soon.  I go back to Dr. Hart and see Rachel the nutritionist in October for my 6  month follow up.  I can't believe its already been 6 months.  I started at 317 and as of this morning I'm at 234 which I'm on my monthly so I figure if I wasn't on it I would be back to my 232 from a few days ago.  The weight loss has really slowed down.  But from what I've heard its pretty common for it to start slowing down around 5 and 6 months out.  But I'm still very happy with the loss I've had so far.  Anyways, thats all for now.  I'll post new pictures soon.
