more surgery
I'm scheduled for a hysterectomy on Dec. 17, the day before my 1-yr. anniversary of WLS. (I do these crazy dec. surgeries because it fits into my work schedule, NOT because I like having pre-Christmas surgery!!) Hopefully, this will take care of my anemia which is slightly better now after 20 iron shots but still not where I should be. I'm at 10.3 as opposed to 12.5 or higher that I should be.
As for my weight loss, it seems to be over or stalled but I really think that is, at least in part, because of the hormones my dr. put me on here prior to the hysterectomy. They are strong and awful.......I hate them! I have actually gained 5 lbs since being on them. My total loss was 123 and now is 118. I still have 15-20 lbs. to goal so am discouraged about that. I'm hoping that going off the hormones (I took my last ones pre-surgery a couple days ago) and then just having another surgery will jump start my weight loss. I plan to really concentrate on that for the next couple months after surgery. I have slipped into some bad habits....I eat something sweet about every day......wish I'd never started that. I also only walk about 3-4 times a week (2.5 miles) as opposed to this summer when I was walking 2.5 miles 10-12 times a week.......twice a day, most days. My schedule just doesn't allow it now.
I eat pretty well most of the time but my eating could be improved. Walmart quit carrying the protein drink I liked and I can NOT find one to replace it....that is the pits. I do feel like I'm struggling here....partly my own doing, partly just my situation....hoping I get get FULLY back on track here soon!
