1 month out from surgery

OK so here I am one month out from surgery.  Boy what a month it has been.  I was at Dr Trieu's office on Monday to learn how to give myself B-12 shots (needed once a month) and While I was there I checked my weight.  I am down a total of 64 lbs from September when I had my first consult and 17 from surgery.  I have learned a lot of things in this past month but the biggest one is to preportion my meals.  I have some babyfood jars that when I open or make something I store it in so that when it is time to eat I do not have to worry about how much to have I just grab one of the jars.  That has been a big help because I have gotten sick a couple of times from eating too much (I am still trying to deal with the "empyt your plate" teaching).  I am glad that I have done this surgery.  I did get my ears re-pierced when I reached 50lbs lost and I also got my medical alert bracelet with the band to match my new ear rings (light and dark blue)  I only have 11 pounds to go to reach my next goal.

great job. keep up the awesome work!

Hi Peggy, good to see your post, you are doing great. The baby food jars are a good idea, I'm going to have my daugter save some for me. I like glass better than plastic.
