Yep. It's 2 years since my sleeve next week. Hardly seems possible! Been maintaining a 90ish pound loss for about a year and 1/2 now. Went for my yearly fasting physical with my PCP yesterday (I don't see a bariatric surgeon anymore as mine left town).
Only bad thing is I got to find out I don't "fast" well anymore! Got up at 4:20AM as usual. Did 45 minutes on my bike, drank LOTS of Water all morning prior to my 10 am appointment so my veins would be nice and plump for the vampire. I started feeling like crap (horrible headache, very tired, etc) by about 7AM. I typically do 1 egg and a piece of cheese right after the workout then a scoop of Protein powder in my coffee 2 hours later at work, 1/2 and apple or piece of cheese mid morning THEN a small lunch. I wasn't necessarily "hungry" but could tell I needed to eat already. By 10 felt worse, made it to the doc, she was like... "I'll bet you eat all day long now, don't you"? Yep. every couple of hours... This is not going well today, *weak smile*. "Go get some lunch, you're doing amazing, couldn't be more please with your progress and focus, blah, blah..." Yay me!
Headed to lunch, tried to eat a hamburger, (pretty much just part of the meat), BIG mistake! Add puking, (had to pull the car over on the highway) to the massive headache that was not improving. Had to call my boss and tell him I wasn't coming back to work and go home and pass out for a couple hours! Finally got a Protein shake down about 2PM and started to feel better. WHAT A MISERABLE DAY! I guess the next time, I sleep in, don't work out and go straight to the Dr office for the first appointment of the day!
Oh, I feel fine today, labs came back and everything was PERFECT! Yay me!
