Will be 7 months and son will finally see me

by moni7744 on 01-14-2014 at 03:08 PM
I started my pre-op diet the day after my son left to his first duty station in the Air Force. I haven't seen him in person since the surgery. It will be exactly 7 months and over 80lbs lost when I see him in person again (2/1/14). We've skyped and he's seen pics, but I'm so excited for him to physically see the changes in me... heck, maybe we'll even work out together! I can't wait to take new pics of us together... i'm actually enjoying taking pics instead of running from the camera now!

Hair loss.. new hair.. head itchy?

by moni7744 on 10-18-2013 at 01:39 PM
I started losing hair around 2 month mark, at the 3rd month it started coming out like crazy.. but it's also the time when my head has begun to itch! I've read up on the hair loss and take my biotin, etc....

I'm wondering.. is it new growth that is making my head itch? I know I don't have lice.. eww and pretty sure I don't have dandruff.. anyone else experience this?

it also looks like I have some baby hairs too.

3 Month doc follow up/ blood work **NSV :)

by moni7744 on 10-06-2013 at 10:11 PM
i am over the moon happy!!! For the first time in years my blood sugars and A1C levels are in the normal range AND cholesterol and triglycerides are all fine!! I'm so happy and excited to find out how much my sleeve is saving my life!

I'm gaining more and more confidence each day..Yesterday I actually danced in front of a club of people (just me and the guy that asked).. i never would have done that before. I usually need the dance floor to be packed and not be noticed.

NSV whoo hoo

by moni7744 on 08-22-2013 at 02:24 PM
First flight this year (Texas at end of Feb), needed the dreaded seat belt extenders...

Second flight this year (MX for my sleeve surgery July 1st), didn't need the extender going down there but did coming back

Third flight this year (South Dakota for family wedding), didn't need the extender all portions of the flight!!!! I was so happy!!! It was still snug, but I felt so much comfortable in my seat!

I'm down 43 lbs even with an approx 3 week stall.

No energy & left side pain...3.5 weeks post op

by moni7744 on 07-17-2013 at 05:31 PM
First week I had a ton of energy... now I have none! Last couple weeks, I've been so tired and not wanting to do anything. I thought maybe it was because first week being back to work, but this week is the same thing. I want to start walking but just want to crawl in bed when I get home.. plus, my left side is still very sore. Might be from lifting too much the other day along with just plain still healing. So I want to take it easy and heal, but need more energy.

Anyone else
