6 Month Check up...

Had my 6 month check today and it went really well. Doctor and surprisingly the dietician were very pleased with my progress.... weight loss 6st 5llbs (89llbs) fat gone from 58.3% to 40.1%, BMI from 48 to 33. I can safely say I am pleased with that too!  Doc asked if I had an old picture of me which I had on my phone, he took a look and said 'don't ever go back to that'  and smiled, it was lovely, he really is my life saver and I don't think I could be more grateful to one person than I am to my wonderful Doctor - Mr Van Den Bossche.

B12 deficient!!!

I will start with the good news... this week I lost 3llbs taking me down to 14 stone exactly.  One more to go to the 13's YEY!  I am now feeling thin! I went out on Saturday and the last time I went clubbing I felt out of place, like the fattest person in the room and I hid in the corner till I was drunk enough to not care.  This time I felt great, I looked around and I was thin in comparrison to a lot of quite young girls in there! I felt good too and I had a great night, it was so lovely to have my partner telling me how good I looked all night too!  I am still an 18 on top and a 16 on bottom and I don't think I'm gonna make it into the size 12 wedding dress I have by June.. just can't get rid of the boobs!  so I'm on the lookout for a size 14, and with the extra skin I am starting to get, I think I definatley need sleeves! not so easy to get though!

Not so good news this week...

My hair continues to fall out by the handfull, its getting so thin! I have my 6 month check up on Thursday so I will ask my surgeons advice, I NEED HAIR for my wedding! I have also been diagnosed as B12 deficient.  I have to have injections 6 times over the next fortnight and then once every three months for the rest of my life.  I have a lot of questions to ask but my usual nurse was not at the surgery today and when the locum had to read the instructions and asked if it was for iron! I thought I would wait until my nurse is back!  or more questions for the surgeon on Thursday! I am hoping they can give me it in tablet form, horrible injection it really hurt!

Hey ho, that aside... life is Great! I feel Great! and I do believe I am looking Great too!!! LOL!

I LOVE MY SLEEVE!
