2 months out!

I had my RNY on 10/02/07 weighing 427! I weighed on 12/03/07 I was 379!!!! Down 48 pounds! I am SO Thankful for WLS I could not have done this on my own! I am noticing that my emotions are all over the place... and that I really was a person who ate according to my emotions as stupid as this will sound I didn't believe I did that until now. I am also seeing hairs all over my shirt! I hope that doesn't get really bad... I would much rather have improved health over my hair but I don't want to be bald! Also my DH was laid off from work yesterday and of course I am worried a bit this is not the time for this to happen... He went to unemployment today and if he filed today he would get like 1/2 of what he would get if he waited to file in January! AGGGH... He went to a temp service as well so PRAYERS please! He does Construction and has done that type of work for about 15 years! I am hoping that he can find an inside job that is all year round that would be a blessing! Blessings to all of you! Jenn

Hi Jenn, Congrats on the 48 lbs gone forever. I am sure you are really going to miss them, NOT! From what I have read, some hair loss is normal. But check with your Dr. He is the only one that can really tell you. I am sorry that your DH got layed off , It is never a good time, but 3 weeks before the holidays really suck.  Hugs  Lisa

Hi Lisa... Yes I actually have a list for Dr. Guske when I get to see him on the 17th. I am thinking of more questions as time goes by so I have started a list so I don't forget! Thanks Jenn

Hi Christina, Thank you for your prayers! Jenn

Jen congrats on your weight loss.  I am so sorry about your hubby being laid off.  We know God has a plan for us and He will make things work out.  My prayers and thoughts with both of you. Hang in there.

Marilyn... Thanks so much for the prayers! God is SO good to us I know everything will be ok! Even in times like this we thank Him for all he has done for us and to remember there is a bigger picture that we sometimes can't see... Blessings Jenn

Dear Jenn! Wow, that weight loss is awesome! Concerning the emotional part------YES, that is VERY NORMAL.  Just hang in there, those hormones will settle down eventually.  The worst of it for me was between months 7 & 8---I thought I was going to kill someone----everyone and everything ticked me off.  Normally, I am NOT that kind of person, and it upset me quite a bit, but I could not help it.  I was told that the fast weight loss releases stored hormones and causes all kinds of emotional roller coasters. I will be saying a prayer for your husband to find something suitable soon.
