April 07 update

Apr 28, 2007

Well, went to the doctor's again for my latest checkup/weigh in!
Now I'm 295! That's a total of 119 pounds fo me gone, or just a little over two of my son! I feel great and my new trick is that I can now touch my toes!  People are giving me clothes for me to fit into as I trim down and I find it a wonderful feeling to be able to fit into this stuff!  I once was a 4x and now I wear 1 & 2x's depending on the item! People at work say I walk faster now, and my dog is happy that I have a lap!
My hair started to fall out, but they discovered that my thyroid medicine wasn't getting into my system enough and had to increase it. Now it's coming back.  That's all for now.... new update in another 3 months.

January Doctor's visit

Feb 15, 2007

Well, I went to the doctor's the end of January. I now weigh 333lbs. That's a total of 77lbs lost since my discharge! I don't go back until three months, so I'm hoping to finally be in the 200's! or at least close to it!  It's great to be able to swallow pills again. I started to panic because my hair is getting thinner and falling out, so I told my primary physician.  He added another test to the tons of blood they took that day and found out that due to the malabsorption surgery, I wasn't getting enough thyroid medicine in my system! That's all to report for now.
