Hello everyone :DI know its been a bit since I lasted updated. On my exactly 3 month mark I forgot to press submit on my blog and so it never got published lol. Sorry about that. Well let me give yall a little update. I am doing very well, I am getting everything in just fine and I am feeling good. I haven't been weighed in about a month
because I do not have a scale of my own. So I will have to wait till my next appointment with my PCP for that. I did have my 3 month blood work and my PCP and surgeon said that everything looked good. Except my thyroid level was a little high, which was weird because I've never had that problem before. But then we noticed that I was never tested for Vit D and that calcium and vit D can play a role in high thyroid levels. Overall I am doing well, though it seems like my abdomen is getting bigger, which is so frustrating. I think my mind might just be playing tricks on me. I am still on water pills but I haven't seen much if a change while on them, they are these TINY little pills. One odd thing is, is some days I don't have much restriction feeling and I am not to hungry but then other days I feel soooo hungry but I have a LOT of restriction feelings. Its odd but Ive learned to take it slow and deal haha its not that bad.
I did have some gas problems and I wasn't sure what was causing it but now it seems to have gone away! But of course if I have a little of something carb-y then yes as expected it comes back. But I am glad that it doesn't happen to often. I believe that I have began to lose some of my hair but it doesn't really bother me to much.
Things are going good family wise when it comes to me with my wls and everything, my dad is always excited to ask me how much Ive lost and all that. Sadly he has been submitted to a hospital in St. Louise by Kentucky because he has severe MS and he developed a deep infection in his leg that won't heal. He was in the hospital for when it first appeared but now since it wont heal he must go back and get a skin graft. Recently I started using facebook and I was able to get in touch with all my older sisters who plan on going down and visiting my dad in march or April of this coming year, I haven't seen my dad in 5 years because of money and also his and my health. But I am most definitely looking forward to visiting him this year! And getting to finally meet my dad's side of the family, and I am glad that they will get to see me at a healthier weight.
I have before pictures and current pictures and all that, but my mom doesn't want me to post them because she is a afraid of what people would say and do
. So I probably wont be posting them any time soon. Maybe when I get a bit smaller she might let me. haha its weird how shes kind of ashamed and I really don't mind. haha. Most of my family is accepting of my surgery, and others think it was a waste of money. We all know how some people can be
, The other day when I saw my grandma for the first time since a couple days before surgery, the first thing she yelled was "YOU'VE GOTTEN FATTER?!?!?!" in front of a large group of people, at the store. -sigh- that wasn't so great but I know shes a bit 
so I just proceeded to tell her "No I have lost about 70 pounds......" and she said "O, well hm.". Haha talk about a bit of a Debbie downer. (SNL)Well thats about all for now. Thanks for reading everyone! I hope everyone is doing well!
