Almost 4 months out.
Hi Strangers 
,
It's been a while once again but I am back to update. On the 18th I will be 4 months out from surgery. Alltogether I am down a grand total of 91 lbs. Can't wait to hit that 100 mark. It is very exciting. I am still having a hard time seeing the loss. I can see it in my face and when I really concentrate on shecking myself out in the mirror. I think the main reason I don't see it so much is that I avoided mirrors pre surgery. SO the only time I horrified myself was when someone caught me on camera.
I am feeling pretty good health wise. I seem to have a stall for a week or 2 and then I will lose 10 and then have another stall. I am having a lot of knee pain (which I will post about under a new topic to see if anyone else has this experience.)
I got my bloodwork done early as I had Low Potassium after a bout of the flu and dehydration a couple of months ago.
My bloodwork came back low for B12 and Iron. As well as I have low good cholesterol. Otherwise all is good.
I am going to take 1000mcg of sublingual B12/day for 100 days and retest to see if it works. If not I will have to discuss shots. I am not sure about the iron but so far they are going to just retest that when I get tested next.
The good cholesterol though should be improved once I start exersizing (I haven't been because of my various leg issues). I plan to begin aquafit once I move at the end of the month. I am in a mad scramble to pack every night now...lol.
Hope everyone is doing well. I miss you all and haven't been keeping up. There has been a lot going on in my family and life. Hopefully when it calms down I will have more time to focus on posting and my health in general.
