Almost 6 months

Aug 08, 2009

I can't believe i'm almost 6 months out-  I am still having problems with the iron so I had my blood drawn again last week and am waiting the results.  Doc said if there is no improvement this time that he is putting in for the 5 week iron infusion.  I just am glad that we are at the point of doing something about it. I'm tired of feeling tired all the time!
Things are going really well--I am loving being back home, and being able to see my kids and do everything I need to do. Not working full time has helped alot with the exhaustion part--I can get through the day now without a nap!
I am still loosing and am wearing a size 6 jean and down from a xl/xxl to a sm!
Still adjusting in my head--
My scale says 140 now and it doen't seem real--though I think there might be something wrong with it because I went to my pcp and their scale said 150. I really don't care--according to their records i've lost 70 pounds.  We will see the "official" count when I go to UC Davis later this month for my 6 month check up!  I am enjoying being out in the sun, getting warm and doing gardening.  It's so much easier now!  Everything is easier now! Just bending down and tying my shoe!
At this point..I am happy where I am--If I don't loose another pound I'm okay and look a healthy weight for me. but something tells me I'm gonna loose more and that is okay too-I am just saying that either way---I have not one regret about having the surgery or my outcome! It has been a tough road, but every bit worth it! 
I am now off my cholesterol meds!!! No more CPAP machine!! BP is in the normal range instead of borderline high and my BMI is normal! It can't get any better than that!!
