so... it is now 6 months past my surgery..... i ihave lost apx 80 pounds.... ive been bouncing around with my weight.... but thats mostly cuz i weigh myself daily, i cant help it lol.....as of this morning (when i weight the least is morning lol) i am at a total weight loss of 84 lbs..... the number is overwhelming.... yet the results are so much better!

i know looks arent everrything... but as most of your may know... when you LOOK great, you FEEL great..and my feelings and emotions concerning myself have been in such tatters for years... the boost i get from daily compliments and congrats are well needed... one great thing, i can wear PANTS now..... pants? you ask...lol.... i never wore pants before....strictly skirts and scrub pants only for work... i never liked wearing, let alone trying on pants....cuz if they fit my legs well, then they were extremely tight on my waist, and made my wasteline look terrible, i felt like the michelin man lol   , and if they fit my waste, then they were SO incredibly baggy on my legs...so... wearing pants.... i never looked well kempt....always obese, and just looked haggard.

WELLLLL.... i have officially bought 2 pairs of pants!!! lol..... my mother kept asking me to buy pants, saying that skirts simply made me look wide all over... so i gave up, and gave in..... to a positive outcome!!! the pants i bought are size 16.....yes..... fucking SIXTEEEEENNNNNN!!!! i have not worn a size 16, since i was 16! honestly! its so crazy for other people to fathom, but wearing pants is like a totaly new experience for me! lol.... i love it, i feel fantastic.

NOW... on to the BAD side of things.... i am losing hair like CRAZY!!! from what everyone says, i should realy UP my protein intake, that this is the main cause of loss of hair right now...and i dont doubt it... i think on a good day, i maybe get 30g of protein, cuz i havnt been doing the drinks or n e thing....so.... losing hair, eew..... i dont think its noticeable to n e one tho... ive always had realy thick hair....so, im the only one who notices it now, especially when i am spending 24 hr a day picking stray strands of  hair off of my self and clothing lol.

number 2.. on my bad list..... i get so lightheaded/faint/dizzy sometimes! there can be a million different causes..... what i have narrowed it down to..... not enough water, not enough electrolytes, low potein intake, and/or blood pressure changes due to any of these items or more.

so.... im going to force some more water into my system, and see if that helps. its not too bad to where i think i will actually faint, but bad enough that i need to lean on a wall for a moment or two to gain my footing, and i know thats not normal. lol

well... thats all in my WLS world.... i start my surgical technology program next week,... the awesome part... i might actually get  to scrub in on some gastric bypass cases with my surgeon!! THAT WOULD BE AMAZING!!!!!

i hope everyone is doing fantastic...and i hope everyone feels great!!!! LOVE YA!!
