waiting for wls

[drylaw]

well coming up to a year since my bypass and what a year its been
there have been good times and bad times but on the whole im in a better place now than i was then and i deffinatly know that if i hadnt had surgery i would be a mess and probably 5 stone heavier than i was back then as i was on a downward spiral
i go for my year check on friday so looking forward to getting an offical weigh in i know i still have a long way to go but the weight is still coming off if a bit slower so i reckon its maybe gonna take me another 6 months to get there

still trying to stay focussed and not lose my way as it is so easy to slip into bad habits even if they are only tiny slips but thats the way the op works its only a tool and you have to use it correctly all the time
will keep you all updated on how things go

update time


well i have been feeling a bit crap and sort of sorry for myself strange i know
on the whole im ok
but it seems after getting my bloods done at my years check i am very anemic even though im very good at taking all my suppliments
so i am adding another tablet to the mix a very high dose of iron .....not looking forward to the constipation that usually goes with it :sigh: my vitimin d is very low as well
i have lost over 50% of my excess weight so very pleased about that
and on the whole they are pleased with the weight loss as am i

well how is everyone ?
not been on for a while not had much time really with 2 jobs and a family to run after but have started the school holidays so that means only doing 1 job (yeeha) so hopefully be able to get on more over the next 6 weeks
things not been that great have a huge calcium defficency ,iron defficency and vit d one as well so not allowed to go to the gym been like this for 4 weeks so on even more tablets, drinks and suppliments than before but guess that's the price I have to pay off having surgery
think my weight has slowed down but reckon that due to not exercising due to being shattered and weepy all the time not had much apietite for proper food but have had time where i wanted crap (crisps )so trying to get out of that bad habbit asap and have started my diary again feel that keeps me on track
looking forward t reading everyone's updates on how they are doing

Good to hear from you hon. It is so hard to keep the wl going :/ hopefully once they get your levels sorted you'll start to feel better.

So true! I can't describe how different life feels when you're slimmer!

Good luck for you and your friend - hope it goes well. Scary stuff!
