SleeveinIL

NSV today. I have been wearing my size 26 jeans which have been getting roomy. So today I decided to try on my size 24 Lane Bryant jeans and see if I could get into them. Not only can I get into them, they are also loose. That made me feel super happy this morning. Weight is still 243 but the inches are definitely moving. 

I just saw my oncologist this morning (I had stage 2A breast cancer) and my CBC labs are now showing I am anemic. I have fought this before on and off caused from the chemo/radiation, however, I wonder how much of this is now related to the sleeve? Oncologist didn't want me to change any of my vitamins/meds so I am going to lob a call to the surgeon. I am not looking to increase my iron because it really messes up my bathroom stops. The good news is my oncologist was really proud of my accomplishments so far with my WL. I love positive feedback! He told me that there are 11 cancers that are directly linked to obesity. It was this doctor that made me go from thinking about WLS to having my WLS. I am doing this for me.

I have reached a new level of ridiculous, even for me. This morning I downloaded an app to help me track my bowel movements to make sure I'm not at risk of constipation/an obstruction. It will alert me if I haven't gone #2 in 36 hours.
