met Augusts Goals

[Guest guest]

I got on the scale yesterday and was dancing for joy that I made it under

170. 169.5!!!! I was dancing in the hall at the gym. I saw the dietician

this morning and she informed me that I have lost 17 1/2 pounds since I saw

her last month. We went over my last labs and they all looked good. My

protein was low (I dont know how with all these protein trains Ive been

riding on) but she said it was within the usual range of gastric bypass

patients. She said she wishes more WLS patients ate like me. She did say

to eat a little more fruit and vegatables.

Excess skin is getting to be a major problem. My insurance wont cover any

plastics til I am 18 months out. I am now getting feelings as needles

pushing in my arms and thighs. Infections under my breasts and stomach. I

make sure everytime I go to my PCM I document my loose skin. I dont want

any hassles when the time comes to remove it. Was just wondering if anyone

else was having major problems with loose skin?

Second question is. Life is really good since I have lost so much weight.

Sometimes it get so overwelming that it is so good. Has anyone else felt

this way.
