30 days later

Well, I guess I will start by saying that I'm down 71 lbs since my surgery. I don't spend a lot of time worrying about losing weight. I can't get all of my supplements in. Protein shakes/drinks make me gag, so my hair is falling out.

Although, I know these things are temporary, I"m starting to become discouraged. I couldn't even get my labs done last month because they couldn't get any blood. (not even a drop) So, apparently, I'm not getting enough fluids even though I try.

I know it won't always be this way and I hope I can get past this point soon.

One thing I neglected to share is that I reached WONDERLAND before the end of March. HIP HIP HORRAY....I'm excited. I want to purchase clothes but I can't bring myself to do so when I go to the store. I always buy something for someone else, not me. I'm not sure why but that just happened again today.

I'm down to one pair of pants that will be too big in a couple of weeks, so I will have to do something....Anyway, just wanted to provide an update. I hope to post on a more regular bases.

Lisa, I am so sorry to hear that you are having difficulty getting your water and protein in. I put Weight Watcher's flavorings in my water, and I can get it down by sipping. I also am using a Weight Watcher Based Shake Mix, with a cup of Keifer or Yoghurt, Soy Milk to lighten it up, and Unjury protein powder. I mix this all in a blender with a handful of frozen strawberries, and it makes a real smooth, frosty drink. It takes me sometimes two hours to get it down, but I do get it down.

I will keep you in my prayers, and if there is anything else I can do to help you, let me know. In the meantime, I have written in my blog and would be glad if you read it.

Love you.
