WOW 6 Months have gone by !

Jul 14, 2010

Well here it is , I am now 6 months into to this,  I did my labs, thought the PCP did not want to do them.. But did as Dr Stewart Requested.

That was the Longest time.. it took FOREVER for the lab to get all the test right. I had 6 redraws, and close  to 32 vials done, which I am sure some were thrown out, because of miss package ding!!..LOL

So far,  I am down from a size 24/26 and just bought a pair of size 16 jeans...and my tops are L/XL  . I can sit with my legs crossed,  AND they even dangle... When I flew to Norway to see a friend I have not seen in 10 years, I not only FIT in the airplane seat, the belt had to be tightened!!!

I walked ALL over Norway, and this place is built in a Cliff !!! NOTHING is level ! LOL  But it was fun. The flight was 19 hours  and other than getting up to move every once in a while, and keeping hydrated,  It was a piece of cake..

Health wise,

I am off BP meds, I run in the 110/70's most of the time
I am off glucophage, my HGB A1C is in normal Range of 5.3
Seem to have lots more energy now days. I keep on goining all day long now.  ( Energizer Bunny here )
I have had LOTS of hair loss , from the anesthetic leaving my body , so I have started biotin and extra protein.
Went to the Salon and had my long hair cut to a shoulder length and added highlights, so the thinness is not so apparent.
Made me feel better anyway!!! LOL

As a revision  from Lap Band, we in general loose a little slower, and may experience stalls, but it does slowly melt away. I was concerned how I had not lost as much as some of the others, and a bit jealous, but in perspective, I had to loose110 pounds and as of today I have lost 62 pounds, so I have lost over half my weight by 6 months,,,, not bad !!!!


I so love my DS !!!!
