4 months tomorrow

Jul 01, 2009

Tomorrow it will be 4 months out.  I finally got to the Dr. for my 3 month check up.  I am down 48lbs since surgery and the the 10 prior to surgery making a total of 58 lbs.  The nurse told me that make 27% loss of my total excess wt.  She then went on to say that most people loss 30% in 3 months...hmmmmm.  So then we go into the room and take a look at my labs....B12 is good, cholesterol panel is good, ferritin is a little low.  My TSH which represents my thyroid function is almost 3 times higher than it should be....which means I am going to need more synthroid.  NO wonder my wt. loss is a little slow and I am tired.  Here I thought it was because I was doing more and staying up later......Can't wait for my  meds to be adjusted. 

At work it is neat hearing people ask about my wt loss, people whom did not know I had surgery.  I have not hid it but I work in an office building.  I may be losing slower then most but I am losing it and remain motivated. 

So for anyone whom is reading this......keep using this surgery as the tool that it is.
