well, I went to my 1 year check up finally with Dr Brown. All vitamin levels are normal except B1 is very high. ? I got a referral to a plastic surgeon for a tummy tuck. I'm thinking next fall. I'm still considered "obese" my BMI is 33. I weigh 166. If I can get to 155 then I will just be "over weight" and then tummy tuck with take 10 lbs off so then I will be 145. My "ideal" weight for being 5 feet tall is 115 lbs which will NEVER happen and I'm ok with that. I've been walking again but now I can go alot further. He gave me a pill to coat my stomach and it prevents ulcers. I'm to take it 1/2 hour before meals. He gave it to me so that I can take something during my periods for the headaches so that I can take excedrin/midol/pamprin because the neurologist couldn't fix the headaches and i went soooo many times.

I am between a size 14 & 16 in pants/shorts. and I wear an XL in shirts. I have hit the goodwill several times. take things in and come home with new! I am discouraged because I've only lost 88 lbs. In 2 weeks will be my one year date. :( I thought I would be at 100 lbs lost by then and it makes me soooo sad. I just travel soooo much and its difficult for me to get to excersize. I have been put on anti-depressants since I lost my job last month and I go to see a counselor along with my family for court stuff that is going on too. My hair has quit falling out excessively which is good and I don't feel so self conscious going out in public. I wonder what my blood work will say when I go for my appt next month to the surgeon.?

so what is up with the spanx? are u supposed to wear underwear or not? why is there a slit in the crotch? i bought some that go up to under my boobs and it just rolls down like all the other girdles I've tried.

finally got a new computer! havent been on in quite a long time. How is everyone?

Well, I'm vit D3 deficient and B12 is borderline deficient. now I'm taking drops of D3 and a sublingual B12 in addition to the normal other vitamins. I've lost 68 lbs. I'm down 12 BMI. The dr said I should be about 10 lbs further along and 2 more BMI to be considered "average". It's so frustrating. I know I should be excersizing more and sometimes make better food choices but come on........In the last month I've lost 3 lbs  I do make sacrafices. I knowingly choose things I can tolerate eating over things I would really like to eat. I'm wondering if I could handle an appetite supressant? I guess I need to quit the Starbucks once a week. I am so sick of the snow and it taking me an hour to get home. I am trying to be thankful that I even have a job but I am so worn out and don't want to do any type of excersize when I get home. I guess that is the only thing left that I have to do to loose weight again is excersize. Why me? Why do I have to be the one to be the slow looser?

Well I actually bought a pair of size 18 550 Levi's last weekend at Khols. A "regular" store! OMG so exciting! I still can not eat bread or tortilla's without throwing up. That includes baked pretzels and bagels. I had to get my ring's sized down to a 6 1/2 from a size 8. My new bra size is 42 DDD which is way crazy. I still have to do Lane Bryant for those.

I got a new job finally working for the county department of motor vehicles. Yay me!! Holidays were good, so glad they are over. I definately tested myself and somethings went good one day and then the next time I tried them I puked or just had to lay down because my stomach hurt. I've lost 58 lbs. I am am now 201. I wanted to be below 200 lbs for January 1st, but that didn't happen. I have been drinking coffee in the morning with SF vanilla creamer for the long drive and the below zero degree weather. I still to this day can not get the protein powder to dissolve. The people at starbucks can't even do it sometimes when I was going there to order coffee (which I have stopped now).

Yesterday was my 3 month post op appointment with Dr Brown, the NUT and Psych. labs came back good. borderline with the iron he said. When I go back for my 6 mo. appt he will see if I need to add more iron. Made big Thanksgiving dinner for just my family of 3. I was able to eat some ham, mashed potatoes and a little bit of stuffing. Went to the movies to see the new Twighlight movie and took my 100 calorie bag of popcorn for myself. It was great having 2 days off with the family. Now I have to go back to work tmw.

OMG, so I tried on the shirt I ordered for our Christmas pics and it is too big!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! gotta get a new smaller one here before next weekend. I'm in SHOCK

My first week of my new job is over. As I look back I find myself not drinking as much as I need to and not having energy. How do people work full time, deal with customers and get all their water in everyday? I take yogurl, string cheese, applesauce and stuff I know I can get down without throwing up to eat througout the day. I'm thinking of starting to drink coffee again which I haven't done since before my surgery in August just to keep my energy up. I can't keep a drink at my desk but I get soooo thirsty and I know I am down about 20 oz. of water from where I need to be everyday. I try to take breaks as often as I can to go in the back and drink my water. I hope I figure something out. I don't think I should have to tell my work about my surgery, but what else can I do to be able to keep hydrated?
