6 Months Post Op

Aug 29, 2011

saw Dr Reed today who said I was doing fine.
my blood work came back normal and I learned that our bodies store 1000 days worth of B12 and you won't notice the deficiency until the end of the 1000 days.  but to prevent the lack, I am going to start taking the vitamin, so that I won't be lacking later on.  He said the issues don't come into affect until years after surgery.

once the hair stops falling out, then I can work on building muscle and not before.  Keep working on the cardio and leave the muscle building for another 2 months.   once the hair stops falling out, then you know your body has started to use protein again to grow hair.  that is when you muslce build, because doing so before your muslces won't build because your body is using the protein for your organs.  Muscles need protein to build and I am deficient, hence the hair loss. 

I need to loose about 20 more pounds, which he feels will not be an issue and something I can certainly achieve.
he wants me to reach a BMI of 27 -which will bring me to about 160 lbs.

a lot to take in, and lots to learn. 
any how I am doing very well, and another 20 pounds will help with the bounce back!!!!
