April 18th - today is my son's birthday!! We celebrated and I even had some cake ....yummy! I did not eat half of it as I usually would but a small one inch slice was perfect and satisfied my desire for birthday cake.Yesterday APRIL 17th - I weighed at the spur of the moment and had lost 101 lbs. I made it to the century mark before 6 months!! YES!! It is one of those goals that was mentioned and I wondered if I would be successful at reaching it before 6 months.....you know those "failure" thoughts are still there and when you have the surgery you don't want to fail again. I know the bigger hurdle for me is when I lose about 20 more pounds because I have not been that weight.......hmmm since birth?? I am realizing more and more how society does treat people who are overweight.......is it right - NO! But it does happen still the same. Somethings that have happened since my last post is my hair is thining - there are not big clumps coming out just finding multiple strands when I put my hand through my hair or find them on my top. I have always had very thick hair so at this point it is not a major concern but I can tell the difference in the amount. I also got my 6 months labs - I go back to Dr Stewart on the 23rd of April so we will see what he says. My Vit A and potassium are low but I have increased the Vitamin A so we will see when he wants to recheck. I have 58lbs till I reach goal ~ it just seems sureal. I am planning on being an angel to Janet and it will be wonderful to help her through this experience. It is a wild ride and you really can't explain it till you go through it yourself. It is harder then I thought it would be but not something I regret doing or would change. BUT most things that are hard are worthwhile!!
