5 mos post op

Apr 26, 2010

I saw my primary care Dr. last friday and according to his scale I've lost a total of 76lbs total. Which is great. I went from extremely obese to plan ole obese.  I went from a size 22/24 borderline 26 pants or 3x top to a size 16/18  or size xl top depending on the material and the way the item is made. I feel better but still happen to have bad days which is normal for anyone. I recently found out that milk is not my friend. I mean it really is not my friend. LOL. I couldnt drink it before and really can't drink it now. I'll stick with Silk products.

My Hair is growing back!!!!! All of my little baby hairs are coming out. Bad thing is that I just paid $260 for my hair to get weaved up and now the baby hairs are running wild around my hairline. I'm still happy though. Due to the damage and hair loss I plan on keeping the weaves in throughout the year(not the same one for those that don't understand. It'll be done several times throught the year. LOL) until my hair is as healthy as it was pre-op. I have new pics to post but I plan on taking more this week so I'll get them posted later. 

Next surgery is lasix eye surgery. Now it's time to get rid of the glasses for an extra boost of confidence. No date yet. Still trying to work out the kinks with my VSP insurance.

So far so good. I can't complain and I have absolutely no regrets!! I'm happy with my progress most of the time. I just have to keep reminding myself that it is progress regardless of what the scale says. My health has improved. I can jog more than 15 seconds at a time. Walk /jog 3 miles with no problem anymore. Off blood pressure meds and labs are great with the exception of B1, can't seem to get enough but I'm very close.
Until next time.
