I have been taking my iron pills and trying to get in as much protein as humanly possible and the scales are moving again! Since I went to the doctor have lost another 5 lbs. I am sooo thrilled that I can hardly stand it because that gives me 60 lbs gone!!! I thought I would never get to 60 but I have made it and looking forward to the next 10 - 15 to melt off. My next goal is to see the down hill side of 200 lbs which is just around the corner...5 lbs to go to see 199. I haven't been under 200 for about 5 years. This is gonna be great!

I went yesterday for my 3 months check-up which was about 3 weeks late...lol. I had lost 55 lbs since surgery. Sally said I was on track with my size from before surgery. I told her that I have seen on here that some people had lost as much as 60-70 lbs by 3 months post-op and was concerned that my success was rather lower compared to them. She said that more than likely those that had lost that much was probably bigger than me. I only had 120 to lose where someone that had 200 or so to lose would lose faster then me. I guess that sounds about right? I won't want to lose too fast and get sick. That just wouldn't be good! She said that I need to start lifting some weights to build my muscle mass. So I guess I will have to buy something to use here at the house since I do not have time to go to a gym. I am now on iron pills because my blood test came back that my iron level was down to 19! Before surgery I was a 53. BIG difference there!!! No wonder I feel like crap sometimes!!! Over all she was pleased with me and now I don't have to go back until April. She said by then I should lose another 20-30 lbs. I hope she is right!!! I would like to weigh at least 175 when I go back but we will see....

The funniest thing happened to me today at work....I had soooo much energy!!! Where in the hell did that come from? The dept. manager had me and another girl closing the photo lab tonight because she wanted the dept. to look its best because the district manager and the big wig from FUJI was coming to inspect the machines to make sure we are doing our weekly and monthly maintance on the machines and keeping everything nice and clean. Well, I took it apon myself to go hog wild with the cleaning. I wiped down everything and I mean everything. I cleaned all day long and couldn't stop. I haven't had a mood like that in years. I told the girls that I work with that I was wasting my energy on Wal-Mart I should be home doing this stuff. Hopefully on my next day off I can get into the same mood and get something done around here for once. Here it is almost 11 pm and I am still keyed up. God, it is gonna be a long night. I am truly amazed at my energy here lately and the fact that my back feels just fine. I think I am starting to love myself again....lol
