95 pounds down...

Oct 16, 2012

 I'm 95 pounds down since I got out of the hospital a little over 6 months ago and I am down 175 pounds from my highest 4 or so years ago.  I am just amazed everyday at what I have been able to do and the stamina I seem to have.  My mind still hasn't caught up to my weight loss though and I feel like I don't look much different.  I get plenty of comments so I know I must.  lol  I think it will just take some time for the rest of me to adjust.  
I has a great 6 month post-op check up with my dietitian and surgeon.  They are more than happy with my steady weight loss of 2.8 pounds a week.  My labs showed my protein is a little low but my PCP had just put me on a med for protein leaking into my urine so they weren't really concerned at this point.  I know I need to really make myself eat but I have a hard time with that.  For the most part I still am not feeling hungry and the more active I am the harder it is for me to remember to eat.

 Overall I am very happy with my decision, just adjusting.  :-)
