A WOW Moment!.....finally!
LOL.......... 
FINALLY a WOW moment! All my clothes are just hanging on me so knowing I had a doctors appointment yesterday, I went out and bought some capri pants. I didnt try them on. I was just going by the size of the jeans I was wearing at the time, which fit comfortably, size 24W. I dont want to spend alot on clothes at this point so I only go looking when the clothes are getting too baggy in the butt to keep wearing. I bought 22/24W. I just knew they would fit, because the 24W jeans are baggy in the butt but fit across the belly just fine.
I go to get ready for the doctors appointment and put on the capri jeans and they were so loose they were literally were falling down. I thought, WTH! I grab the sage green ones, hoping they would fit better because they are a different material. I noticed I grabbed the wrong size on them. 18/20W. I thought, great these are gonna be too small and I gotta go to the doctors nakid!
I was SHOCKED to see the 18/20W fit perfectly! I cant believe the difference between last week and this one with only 3 pounds lost in the last 2 weeks. Needless to say I took the 24W jean capri's back and got a size 18!
I didnt get to see my surgeon yesterday. He was in emergency surgery. All my blood levels are good except my Iron and Ferritin levels. They keep going down. My ferritin level is a 7, I think a normal low is 50 so it is really LOW. Im waiting to have my surgeon call me and let me know what we can do about this but at least my hemoglobin was up this time to 23. My B12 level remains HIGH, so I keep taking my sublingual B12 to keep it up. Apparantly Im not drinking enough fluids, my BUN was low at 7 so I have to work on increasing fluids more. I sip ALL day and ALL night as it is, but obviously it isnt enough so will have to try to drink more. Im tripling the bariatric advantage iron tablets but they are not working too well for me, so I have no idea what he will want to do. I was borderline anemic pre op, and it seems this is getting worse post op.
Ive lost 45 pounds total. July 4 will be my 3 month post op date, and I am right on schedule according to the nurse. I feel better knowing that. I know others loose much more 3 months out than I have but on the other hand I am glad it is going slowly to hopefully avoid gallbladder problems you can have from rapid weight loss.
Im just 8 pounds away from my first real goal of getting under 250! This will be the first time in 5 years I have been under 250, when I can get under 200 that will be my first time since the 5th grade, IONS ago!
