4 Months Out

Friday I went to Dr. Gorospe for my four month check up. Things are going great. I am down to 243 pounds and on the day of surgery I was up to 334 so I have lost 91 pounds. But by Dr. G's office goes by my weight at consultation which was 324, so they have me down for 81 pounds. Either way that is really good! I am pretty proud of myself. My Mom took my measurements and this last month I lost 6 inches total. I guess that's decent.

I am starting to lose my hair pretty badly since I wasn't getting in my protein. I have found a protein I can actually stomach though it's Atkins Advantage shakes. I love them. They are premade and ready to go. They remind me of slim fast. I am also loving mixing vanilla protein powder with sugar free OrangeAde. It's yummy! So now to get in all my protein I have 2 shakes a day and for lunch I have a protein bar. That way I am getting in at least 60 grams.

I have noticed that I am not able to eat as much as my friends who aren't even as far out as I am. My friend just had surgery at the end of April and she can already eat more than me. But I guess I am lucky really that way I will hopefully lose weight faster. I hope so anyways.

I think my husband is going to get the surgery as well. I hope he does something soon, cuz he is putting all of his weight back on and I am worried about him.

So far three of my friends have had the surgery. Bobbi had it the end of April, Pam had it June 2nd and Sarah had it June 6th. All three of them are doing very well. Sarah just went for her two week check up and she has lost 21 pounds. Pam went Friday for her two week check up and she had lost 20 pounds I think. I can't remember for certain. Bobbi is like me and only weighs when she goes to the doctor so I think she lost around 25 pounds or so.
