A long day

This has been a long day. I woke up very early this morning because my back was bothering me, and then the dog wanted out, and then I had to get cleaned up to go to my doctor appt. Got home and my ex inlaws were here visiting and then this evening went to my granddaughters soccer game. I am really tired. I am off tomorrow and plan on being glued to my sewing machine fixing the soccer practice shirts. They are really a mess. I have been working on them for a couple days here and there as I have time, well I plan on getting them done tomorrow. I also got a call from a good friends daughter, and she needs me to hem up her wedding dress. So will be taking care of that. I really don't mind at all, I have a new sewing machine and it works so nicely. So things go a lot smoother now. As far as my doctor appt went today. I lost another 14 lbs in basically 2 wks. So my total is up to 81 lbs. I am happy about that. I have really tried my hardest to get in all the protein I need to each day. I must be doing something right because it seemed to work. My blood work came back and I am low on potassium and iron, so will have to up my vitamin intake for that and make sure I eat some bananas and or orange juice each day. That shouldn't be a problem. Thats minor. My ultra sound on my left ovary came back also and I need to go see my family doctor and he will have to refer me to a gynocologist. So not sure what is going to come of that. I have an appt next tues for that. I don't go back to see the weight loss doctor now until Nov. I am going to start back at the YMCA for the water aerobics class hopefully next week. But first I need to take in my bathing suit, I don't want to be jumping up and down or getting out the pool and lose my bottoms. My daughter thinks I should just go buy another one, but I don't want to just quite yet. Maybe in a couple more months when I have lost more. I need to take in my pants again they are starting to fall down. These are all good things, I am not complaining at all. I struggled for a little bit, but I think I am on the right track now. And I am sure I will struggle again but it will be ok.

Hanging in there

It's been awhile since I last wrote. I am now back to work. Doesn't seem like I had even been gone. It was easy to get right back into the routine. I went this past wed. to see the surgical nurse for measurements and get my order for updated blood work. I didn't lose any weight but I lost 5 1/2 more inches. I was very dissapointed about not losing any more weight but the nurse said that its normal from time to time. I hardly eat anything, I am not hungry but I was hoping for some weight loss. I was told that I am not eating enough protein, I am trying so hard. Its very depressing at times. There are days where no matter what I eat, it either comes back up or out. Then I am just worn out for the day. Throwing up is awful, it hurts, and feels like things are coming up from my toes. I have been getting my fluids in at least, so I just need to work on the protein. Protein helps to get your metabolism moving so that you burn off the weight. There are some good things though, my blood pressure has been staying down. Sometimes to low, but its ok. I probably will be off those meds soon. Most of my clothes are very loose, and some I have just given up on and sat them aside to give away. It's interesting to see each day when I get dressed, whats not going to fit anymore. I am going to need to take my pants in again real soon. When my feet quit swelling up then things will be even better. Sometimes I think I am never going to get over that part. I do get a kick out of how loose my skin is though. At times I just chuckle. But its a good chuckle.

I still need to see the doctor on the 14th and I have been really trying very very hard to get my protein in. So hopefully I will have lost some weight by then. He is also suppose to let me know the results of my ultrasound I had on my left ovary. All sorts of thoughts have been running through my head about that. But I will not let myself get carried away about it. Everything will be fine. I am going to keep good thoughts about all this, losing weight and the ultrasound. I have come to far for it all to fall apart.
