Today marks 7 months since my WLS post op began.
I am below goal and working hard on staying in the 135 range - not as easy as it sounds.
I promise I am done loosing for the most part ( until I have my skin/reconstruction done )
So whats new?! Well, besides the obvious changes I am going through alot inside my body too. It has stopped making thyroid at all now ( or again, I should say ), I am retaining water like its never going to see fluid again, my joints are killing me ( most likely from the arthritus ) my lupus is flaring often, and my iron levels and blood counts are not very good at all...
No need to worry though - these are all very normal for someone who has been through so much and lost so much weight so rapidly.
I am being taken care of very well, and am working hard on replenishing my system.
I am too lazy to measure myself right now - but the only thing I think thats changed is just more in the belly area.
I am wearing a S/M on top, and 4/6 in most jeans, pants. Scale today says 134.5lbs.
Daya is a mini me :)
Someone asked ( and thank you its a GREAT question! ) " What DO you eat?! " and my answer is this :
I am not limited to what I can eat, only as to how much of it I can eat. I choose not not eat many carbs, sugars, fats and starches simply because MY system does not handle them at all. Some of my favorite foods are yogurt, salad, chicken, and I really enjoy PIZZA as my treat!
I still dont drink/eat much dairy and high protein because MY kidneys don't handle it - however many post op'ers do just fine with some of those things.
My goals: To continue to improve my over all health, and maintain my new life style.
It took me 6 1/2 months to reach my goal. To date I have lost 96lbs.
