3 Month check in

Well yesterday was 3 months from my surgery. I have lost 56 pounds and 79 from my highest weight. I am 12 pounds away from twonerville. I will be glad to get there. I  was a bit disapointed to have only lost 6 pounds this month but from all the different profiles and postings I have read, it seems that this happens just about now. I am noticing a minimal increase in my hair that is falling out. I will keep my fingers crossed that it doesn't get any worse. My plan is to lose 202 pounds prior to plastics. I believe I will still need liposuction to get rid of the saddle bags I have on my hips. So since I have lost 56 pounds in 3 months I am approximately 28% of the way to my goal. My labs still show low D and prealbumin but they are moving in the right direction. Now I have low sodium and potassium so I am taking a potassium pill. Once I replace my deleted stockpile I should be okay. My issue is that I have been tired but it is hard for me to say whether that is because I am getting up around 5:30am these days or some other reason. So all is well and I got a full release from my surgeon so I am beginning on my 10 pin bowling league tonight. Yeehaa!!

Hi Jo, It sounds as if you are doing wonderful! You have lost a lot of weight, keep doing what you are! Have fun tonight while bowling! Hugs Amy

Thanks Amy and I had a great time bowling. We laughed soooooo much.

Wow!  That is awesome, Jo!  Congrats on your success :) Teri

Thank you very much, Teri.

Sounds like you are doing great! How was bowling?  Do you take B12? How do you take it if you do? I found the injections work so much better for me. I am now giving them to myself.

Thanks Aime. Bowling was a blast. Yes I take B12 injections. I am so close to my PCP that I just run over and he does it. He likes to keep an eye on me anyway. hahahaha

 Congradulations Jo, It is great to hear you have lost this amount in only 3 months, I am sure you will hit your goal the rate you are going.  Good luck and keep us posted. Do you take Biotin for hair? I know that my Nut requires all of us ot take it post op Ellie

Thank you Ellie. I have biotin in the multi vitamins I take so maybe that is helping.

Seventy-nine pounds is awesome!  That's like losing an entire 5th grader, Jo!  You will be in twonerville before you know it. Edie
