9 Month Check Up Report

I seen my NP yesterday for my 9 month check up . She did not recognize me . We talked a lot about emotions .. body image and she wants me to start seeing the inhouse therapist . I am also having issues with Hubby that I hope gets better . Any hoo .. My iron is low.. she did the gold test on me .. as my rings are turning my skin black.. she had me hold my ring to my forhead and rub it across .. it if leaves a black mark . it means your iron is low . I told her I am taking my iron suppliments everyday .. so we will see what happens after my blood work comes back . We addressed the Plastic surgery and I told her that yes I did want it but I want to be further out .. cuz my body is going thru a lot right now and I want to be further out in my maintence . She asked about my calorie intake - which is 900 she said that was ok but on days I exersise to eat a little more .. as to my carbs she said .. do not worry to much about them .. she did not want to put a number on me .. I told her I get @ 50 some days she said that was great . She also said that I would probably loose another 20 to 30 pounds as the weight loss is not over .. I said OMG where .. I am a size 10 now .. she just told me to be prepared for more to go .. OKKK that is kinda scary .. but we will see .. She is the best .. and I am so lucky to have made it this far . Love yas , Natalie

Wow Nat!! Smaller than a size ten!!!!!!! That is great news. I am still riding at size 18's and sick of it! Hope you find out more about your blood test soon. I will keep you in my prayers for things to resolve for you and your hubby. I know with this transforming succes it is hard on us as is our mates. Best of luck sweetie, your doing great keep it up- Melissa

Natalie, I really hope your issues with hubby get's resolved. I didn't have the best marriage before surgery, and I didn't no what to expect after the surgery. It has gotten better than I ever expected and I hope everything works out for you as well. That is interesting about the ring/black skin thingy....I to have always had issues with my fingers turning black from my rings...only in the winter, and even before surgery. I used to think people would think my rings were fake. lol WOW another 20-30 lbs! You know my skinny friends used to tell me that for every 10 lbs you lost or gained meant a size in clothes up or down. When I was large, 10 lbs didn't do squat up or down for my sizes. Now 20 lbs did...I have noticed this to be true now that I am in regular sizes. SOOOOO since your a size 10 now...you could be a size 4-6 WOW. Isn't it just amazing????? Buckle up girlie, it looks like your ride isn't over yet. Brenda
