Never to soon to start! I had mine on the 11th!?? Anyone else in June yet? And how's it going?

I'm post op as of the June 24th, I spent two nights in recovery instead of just one (I'm really sensitive to meds so I was a problem child). I'm feeling pretty good but I'm only able to get in 3 bottles of water daily (and that's a struggle) every time I drink anything it feels like a stabbing pain in my stomach. I know this is more than likely because it's so new (Wedensday) but that's not making life easier for staying hydrated. I go this coming week to check in.

Other than that I feel great and am so exciting to get the ball rolling here with the weightloss!!

Feel free to friend me and keep in touch!

good luck on your new adventure in life Miss Kit!

You to Kristi!! Thank you so much!!!!

So I went for my 2 year check up this past week. Was a little nervous because I couldn't remember what I weighed in at last year, and I've put on a little this year after switching up my thyroid meds. Anyways, I'm down 4 lbs and that has me at the 80% loss of excess weight! yay! My dr was very happy with my progress. I think I may start looking into tummy tuck

That is awesome! ! Having thyroid issues I know how wacky that is with metabolism. Yay for you!!

How were your vitamin levels??

Oh and let me know if you have questions about tummy tucks. I had the circumferential lower body lift which is more cutting but I can help you understand recovery etc. I am thrilled with my results! I am wearing a bikini this summer for the first time in 23 years. It's a mom bikini (I have big books and like that business covered really well) but it's a bikini! I got it from bare necessities because they have swim stuff made for girls double d and higher. I got a top in a 32 DD and size small bikini bottoms and it is adorable. I wasn't even shy about wearing it at all.

I had my surgery on June 22. I'm at the purée stage, thank God!

I just had my bloodwork done that day so I haven't heard about my levels yet... hopefully all is well. they blew my veins... so I have 2 bruises one on each arm... blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Oh that is the worst! They had to stick me on both sides because I clot so fast and they took so many vials.

I never gave my update! My son graduated from High School this spring and we had his grad party followed by the 4th! The past two weeks have been a blur! My 2 year went fantastically well. I already knew about

OOPS! Hate when that happens!!

Anyway, I already had the results of the blood work, so I knew I was high on iron and low on zinc. We adjusted my vitamins to reflect these results. My doc wants a full blood panel again in 6 months just to be sure everything is still good, but I don't need to come in again until next year. Weight is GREAT! Found out that I can officially say that I have lost 100% of my excess weight.

Hope all of you enjoyed a great holiday weekend! It is so nice to really live this life! This weekend we went canoeing, hiking, biking, took part in a 75 minute Turbo Kick class, and went for a 3 mile run! 2 years ago I would not have been able to do one of those things, if I had tried I would have been down for days. I LOVE this new life!

Kristi, sorry about the blood work. I have always had bad veins. WLS has improved that too! It's nice not to have to dread getting a blood draw! I feel for you!!

Bloodwork results are on my chart and they all fall within the normal range... YAY I guess if some are lower or higher than they want they will let me know.

When I was overweight, they couldn't find my veins because they were too deep... now she says they roll around because my skin is loose... can't win for loosing i hate needles!

Life is too good.. Did I find the Fountain of youth?

Went back for more blood work, and Iron is great (finally!) but zinc is still low, but at least is improving. I am going to try to find a new multi that has more zinc. The multi needs to NOT have iron, so it makes it a bit more challenging to find!

Hope everybody else is doing great and enjoying the holidays. Happy New Year!
