Sometimes there is no rhyme or reason that I can see for the amount of weight I lose per week.  It ranges from 1 to 5.5 lbs.  I can only guess it is affected by shifting fluids and changes in body composition.  I'm not sure where I left off with my last entry, but everything has been going well.  I have been surprised at the number of people at work who have walked right past me and not recognized me until later after hearing my name or looking at me a while.  Over half a dozen people have not recognized me.  I am almost 6 months out and 90 lbs down. 
      I have had some dental problems, which I have not really had pre-RNY.  1cavity, lots of abfractures and wear on my teeth.  Dentist said to use sonicare toothbrush and flouride rinse.  I was having bad staining along the gum line where the abfractures are, but after getting my teeth cleaned they are gone. My gums are receeding too.  I'm really trying to take extra special care of my teeth.  I have only had 1 cavity before in my life.  I was 18 and have only gotten compliments on my teeth from dentists until now.  Oh well, they could be worse.  They just better not get worse or God forbid start fallin out.  Doubt it. 
     I have had some moments where I am really down because I am still obese, but these are fleating moments, and I remind myself I am not even 6 months out.  I think I need to go clothes shopping.  Maybe that will make me feel better.  For the most part I am still wearing some smaller sizes from years ago,and they are still actually too big.  I have only bought some new under wear, bras and uniforms.  I am also considering doing a little tanning since it is getting cool and I am lookin a little pale. 
     Well I have to get busy cleaning.  I was up all night with a sick child with a stomach bug.  I have lots of laundry to do and am going out of town Monday so I better start packing.  I can't wait to get to Orlando and relax.
