It's about time I posted some new pictures. These were taken on Saturday, Nov. 3rd, 2007. I have lost a total of 82 pounds...Yah!! I'm currently at 145, only 18 lbs to my goal. We'll see how that goes. I'm having other health issues and had some MRI's and Ct Scans done last week, so we'll see what comes of that.

I now weigh 157 and I have 30 pounds to go. I am now wearing a size 14 in pants and they are starting to feel a little loose. I'm wearing a medium in shirts, which totally blows me away. 
I have never been able to wear a medium. I'm feeling pretty good. My energy level isn't all that high yet. I went back to work after being off for 3 months. I went from full time to part time until I get back in the swing of things. I know it's been 3 months and 2 weeks since my surgery but I'm just starting to feel good. I have been having problems eating. I'm never hungry and when I do eat nothing tastes good and I have constant nausea. It's getting better. Sleeping 
has been terrible. My doctor prescribed ambien, but it didn't work. So my surgeon gave me rozerm and it didn't work. But then I found out that you have to take rozerm for 8 days before it starts working. The doctor didn't tell me that. My labs came back ok, the only thing they found was that my potassium was low. So I went to see my PCP to have more labs taken on Monday, then Tuesday I had an appointment to review them with the dr. and she said they didn't re take the potassium. So I had to have labs done again that day and she said she would call me the same day to tell me the results. Well, the doctots office didn't call until this morning to let me know that my potassium was still low and they want to do some more blood work, so now I have to go in to have more blood taken. I don't mind so much about the blood thing it's just I live about 40 miles away and 3 times in a week is a little much. So I will go in tomorrow to have it done and hopefully they will figure out what's going on. 
I was excited. No I don't weigh myself everyday, I thought I would do it twice today just to see. I'm still not getting in all my protein. But I'm trying. I am really trying to drinks some shakes, but it's hard. It was so easy pre op. I thought this whole eating thing would be easier than it is. But boy I was wrong. It's the hardest thing. I hardly eat anything. I'm never hungry and when I am I can only stand a few bites (small bites) and that's it. I don't see my doctor until October. I hope I get some labs done so I can see where everything is at. I'm going to try to post a newer picture this evening. We'll see how that goes.
