Feeling great! Down to 212. I feel like I'm losing a little slow but I'm not discouraged. I think I need to stay off the scales though because I obsess about it some weeks. I had another CT Scan done on my hematoma and some labs drawn and have the results back: My hematoma has shrunk to 5 cm. My hemoglobin is 12.5 and my potassium is a little low; the Dr. wants me to take potassium for a month to build it up again. My scar is still very bright reddish pink. I spoke to my friend Melenia and she said to try Maderma. Her scar from March 26 looks far better than mine so I will try some kind of scar treatment.
Recently we had dinner with a couple who hadn't seen us in a few months and they were so surprised by our weight loss--together we have lost 210 lbs. They had lots of questions and one of the questions they directed to my husband (who has lost over 150 lbs) was: do you feel like people treat you differently now? It occurred to me just then what is in store for me as well. Wow, I hadn't even thought about it really. In fact all my life I felt like people treated me differently because I was overweight. I haven't even absorbed yet the idea that I will be percieved differently as a thin person. God, this is going to be an adventure.
Our vacation to Las Vegas is rapidly approaching! I'm so excited. We've planned a side trip to L.A. since we are going to be so close to California. Thursday we got our tickets to be part of the studio audience of the Tonight Show with Jay Leno! How cool is that? I can't wait! My weight loss goal is to be under or at 200 lbs. when we get to Las Vegas.
