6 month visit with DVR

well well well I'm not a failure.

I've lost 62% of my EWL so I'm well on track to get to goal...

my blood work is stellar in fact I have to reduce my b12 by half..... everything else will stay the same.

we talked about the fact that I had minimal hair loss.... he wants me to discuss this at support group.... he feels it's because I'm getting 100g of protein a day (mostly with shakes), that I'm obesessive about my supplements (multis, iron, C, D and b12 as well as colace and magnesium oxide) and that I am getting a LOT of essential fatty oils (from fish and avocado mostly).... 

I try to eat 1/2 a small avocado DAILY (yes I told him this) mostly so I have enough fat to go potty.... but apparently it helped my hair.  Now yes I lost hair.... and some days more than others... but I have no THIN spots.... just a bit more loss than usual.

they were THRILLED with my gym routine  (30 minutes cardio 4 days a week longer on the 5th day--3  days of yoga (1 hour each) and 2 half an hour sessions with my personal trainer) and gladly wrote two notes for my Flexible Medical Spending for my vitamins and the gym and trainer....

YOU, A FAILURE? HARDLY!
WAY TO GO!  GREAT JOB! I KNOW DVR WAS THRILLED!

DVR Thrilled?   he was pleased.   I don't think ANYTHING thrills DVR....   I love him as a doctor but he's not all puppies and rainbows...

Nessa, This is great news and I am so happy you have done so well. Congrats and keep up the GREAT job.

thanks Julie.    I just have to keep telling myself I'm doing well... I really really struggle with the negative self talk.


I think so many of us do.

Nessa,

WOW -- your healthiness glows in your beautiful face!  So happy for you!
