8 weeks...44 pounds

Jan 30, 2009

Time sure flies!  When people say that WLS is an adventure....they are telling the truth.  I thought I was prepared.... for the adventure...I read every thing on line that I could find, read every post on here and in magazines/books.  Now I realize that most people only post the good news and how much weight they have lost.  My biggest issue is not remembering to chew-chew-chew and to eat slowly.  When I don't follow those rules...I get very bad indigestion and a painful feeling in my chest.  Not good.  I have started losing some hair already- evidence that I am not getting enough protein in daily.  I went to my PCP today...my blood pressure meds are now cut in half and I am no longer considered diabetic!!!  She also mentioned that I am very dehydrated.....which I assumed...because I haven't been drinking my required amounts either.  I know...I know....BAD ME. 

I'm going to make a committment to get my protein and water in everyday!
