WELL HERE I AM 6 MONTHS OUT AND NOW DOWN TO 178 LBS FROM 267 LBS DAY OF WLS.  IF I COULD JUST STICK TO A FOOD PLAN I MAYBE DOING BETTER.  HAVE TROUBLE FINDING THINGS TO EAT THAT ARE NOT FULL OF CARBS.  BEFORE WLS LOVED TUNA NOW EVERY TIME I TRY TO EAT IT I FEEL LIKE I AM GOING TO DIED IT MAKES ME SO SICK.  SALMON HAS BECOME MY BEST FRIEND.  HAVE GONE FROM TIGHT SIZE 24 TO NOW ABLE TO GET INTO A SIZE 12.  I HAVE GOT TO GET BACK INTO MY EXERCISE PLAN.  HAD VIRAL FLU AND MIAGRAINES MORE OFTEN SO HAVE GOTTEN OUT OF HABIT.  B-12 LEVEL ACCORDING TO MY BLOOD WORK IS DOUBLE NORMAL LEVEL SO PRIMARY MD FEELS THIS IS CAUSE OF MIAGRAINES.  STILL NO ENERGY BUT HOPING TO FIND IT ONE DAY SOME WHERE.  THIS IS ALL FOR NOW SORRY I DO NOT UPDATE MORE OFTEN.

FRIDAY BEFORE SURGURY WEIGHT AT PC OFFICE I WEIGHTED 267 LBS. AT MY PC ON FRIDAY MARCH 7TH 2008 WENT FOR B12 SHOT WEIGHT WAS 187 LBS.  CELEBRATED BIRTHDAY AND 25TH ANNIVERSARY ON 03/04/08. HUBBY SAID I WAS LOOKING LIKE THE LADY HE MARRIED 25 YRS AGO.  STILL FINDING IT HARD TO EAT BUT LOVE THE WEIGHT LOSS. GOT TO GET BACK TO WORK AND THEN OFF TO CLASSES.

WELL HERE IT IS 2 MONTHS OUT VISITED MY FAMILY MD AND GO MY B12 SHOT ON FRIDAY DEC 07.  AS USUAL HAD TO BE WEIGHTED AND ACCORDING TO MY CHART WITH HIM I HAVE GONE FROM 267 LBS THE WEEK BEFORE WLS TO NOW 212 LBS.  GOT STUCK WITH NO LOSS FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS AND IT ABOUT DROVE ME CRAZY.  JUST HOPE I CAN KEEP LOSING.  HAVE FOUND IT HARD TO EAT SOMETHINGS THAT I REALLY LIKE BUT AM FINDING NEW THINGS TO EAT NOW.  THE WHOLE FAMILY IS VERY PROUD OF ME LOSSING LIKE I AM BUT I STILL SEE MYSELF FAT.  I PROMISE I WILL KEEP IN TOUCH BETTER. 

As of last Monday I had lost  15 lbs..  Today I have to go have more blood drawn and hope to find a Walgreen drug so I can find some benapro and multi vitamins would also like to find a set of scales but not going to have a fit if I can't.  Have finally found a protein shake that is actually not at all bad.  Finally sleeping more than 2 to 4 hrs a night.  Plan to return to work on Monday Oct 29th ended up taking extra week due to signs of post op pneumonia.  Also the miagraines have kicked back in full forces and they are driving me crazy.  Take care ya'll talk more later.

Well things here are starting to get better.  The only thing I have problems with now is making myself eat and going to sleep.  I am averaging 2 to 4 hrs sleep a night.  I just can not sleep for some reason.  Everyone is already saying they can tell I am lossing but I can not.  Went by work late on Friday to sign some paper work for extra leave if needed they do not want me to come back to soon and be exposed to all the germs we are in contact with daily.  And neither do I because I want to enjoy things now.  There were only 5 people still there but they all had to come and see the new me,  and all stated you are really losing the weight.  I don't know if I am going to like all of this attention about the weight loss because I am not one for attention.  I have never needed or wanted attention on me for any reason.  Well guess that is enough got to try and get a nap.  Told myself if I only slept 2 - 4 hrs last night I was taking a nap so we will see how that goes.  Take care yall til next time.

WELL AS YOU HAVE HEARD I AM AT HOME.  HAD SURGURY ON MONDAY CAME HOME ON WED OVER DONE IT ON THURSDAY AND PAID FOR IT ALL DAY FRIDAY.  HERE IT IS SATURDAY AND STILL NO ENERGY AND THINGS GOING ON WITH MY BODY THAT I JUST DO NOT UNDERSTAND.  TOLD ALL WAS NORMAL BUT STILL SCARED THE HEBBY GEBBIES OUT OF ME AND MY HUBBY.  HE IS AFRAID TO LEAVE ME FOR ANYTHING.  SO HE HAS TAKEN A FEW MORE DAYS OF LEAVE TO BE WITH ME.  AND IF I DON'T GET TO FEELING BETTER I WILL BE ASKING FOR ADVANCED SICK LEAVE AND TAKE A FEW MORE WEEKS OFF.  I GOT TWO FOR THE PRICE OF ONE.  THEY ALSO HAD TO TAKE MY GALL BLADDER.  UNTIL NEXT TIME TAKE CARE YALL.

HAD MY LIVER SCAN FIRST THING THIS MORNING AND THEN TO THE DENTIST I WENT.  HAVING ALL OF MY TEETH REDONE.  AFTER THE NEEDED WORK ON TEETH I THEN WENT TO MY DAUGHTERS HOUSE FOR 45MINS AND THEN BACK TO DENTIST FOR CLEANING.  WHILE MY SISTER WAS CLEANING MY TEETH HUBBY CALLED BEVERLY WAS TRYING TO REACH ME THEY FOUND GALL STONES.  WE THEN PLAYED PHONE TAG I HOPE TO TALK WITH HER TOMORROW AND SEE WHAT ALL NEEDS DONE BUT I HAVE DECIDED WHILE I AM OUT THEN TAKE IT OUT.  THE GALL BLADDER IS NOT NEEDED FOR ANYTHING ANYWAY.  AND THAT WAY MAYBE I WILL NOT HAVE TO GO BACK INTO TO THE HOSPITAL ANYTIME SOON FOR ANY REPAIRS.  HAVE BEEN MAXINING OUT THE BREATHING MACHINE I HAVE MADE A GAME OUT OF IT AND SO FAR IT IS WORKING.  JUST WANTED TO DROP A FEW LINES UNTIL LATER YALL TAKE CARE AND KEEP IN TOUCH.
