Its Been a Long Time...

Feb 02, 2009

Yeah its been a while since I've blogged and I just felt the need to.  I have just been too busy it feels like.  I don't know honestly.  I have lost over a 100 lbs and it is just surreal.  I had my 6 month follow up visit about a month late with my surgeons office and I just knew they were going to say my B12 was low because I've been so tired lately and guess what?  Yeah it was low!  Really low, below 200.  I was at 189 and they told me below 200 isn't so good so I have to give myself weekly B12 injections and take a sublingual everyday for the next 6 weeks to get my numbers back up.  Does this depress me?  Of course!  Why?  Because I went through all this to be a healthier me and 7 1/2 months out I'm having issues.   I'm trying to stay as positive as possible but it is a bit of a let down to think you are doing good and your body is against you.  The reason I say my body is against me is because I was already taking more B12 than the doctor had said to begin with and its just not working.  I had my first shot last Friday, which my Dad had to give me because I'm a big wimp, and I do feel better already so I'm hoping this will work.  Other than that things are good.  I work in the public and my customers are like wow you've lost weight, and I just smile and say, yeah just a bit.  Its nice though that people are noticing and it makes me feel more confident and better about myself.  I just have to keep working towards my goal.  I am 49 lbs from my personal goal and I just can't wait until I hit it!
