Update

Since my last post I have lost another 6 # and I'm down to 135 and a size 8. It's still coming off, but slowing down now. I am 9 months post op and the "honeymoon" is just about over for me. I have to start being more diligent about what I am eating.
Right now I am having a tough time with all the Halloween candy in the house. I find myself grabbing a piece here and there. Some of it makes me sick, but there are kinds I eat with no ill side effects.
I had also slacked on my vitamins, but just started taking all them again. My problem is that it is ALOT of pills to take throughout the day. I will be going to have my blood work done again soon.

Time Flies!

Wow, ever since the kids started back at school the days are just flying by. I just realized it's been a long time since I've updated my blog.
So here goes my update...
I am down to 141 lbs, for a total lost of 76 lbs so far! WOOHOO! I'm wearing a size 10 and medium clothes. I'm feeling great.
I recently started taking iron supplements and upped my b12 to 5000 mcg a day. I'll have to wait until my next labs to see if my numbers are going back up. I'm feeling better though.

Long Overdue Update

I've been very neglectful of my blog lately. I've been so busy with the house and kids that I just haven't even thought to take a minute and sit and write here.
The kids are out on summer vacation right now. They go back to school on Aug. 25. We've spent some time at the pool (going again today). This past week the older 2 went camping with my in-laws. It was quiet and peaceful here last week. Now already this morning all hell has broken loose.
I've been doing pretty good with my food, protein and vitamins. I've been eating mostly high protein and getting at least 1 protein drink a day. Some days I manage to get in the 2 that I'm supposed to have. I use a powdered multi-vit that I mix in my protein drink. I also take calcium citrate, vit d3, vit b12, and a hair skin and nail formula.
As of this morning I'm down to 155 (62# loss). I'm feeling great.

TGIF!

It has been a long and busy week. But what else is new. A lot of running around with the kids. One day I went into my 8 yo class to help out. Today we had an ice cream social with our Brownie troop and another. The girls had tons of fun. I didn't even feel like I was missing anything not having ice cream. And anyone who knows me knows that before surgery ice cream was *my thing*! I could eat a pint a night if I really let myself. I didn't even want it today. I've actually been having a hard time remembering to eat. I'm not really hungry much anymore. I have to keep reminding myself to get food. I even made up a schedule and posted it on the fridge with meal times and when to take my vitamins and meds.
Tomorrow my oldest starts baseball practice, then Monday my 6 yo starts her t-ball practice. And they'll be even more running around to do! I was asked to be team mom for my 8 year olds team so I said I would. Just one more thing to do! Tonight my daughter has a friend here that will be sleeping over. So, I'm sure we'll be up late. I hope I get some sleep tonight!
