Looking for August sleevers

[gustavio 439]

Sleeved 8/25

Hw 247

Sw 240

Cw 203

Almost to that ONEderland!!! Have been stalled for over a week. Of course it would happen right before getting out of the 200's. Lol. Feeling great. Need to exercise more but time is a huge issue for me.

I take 30g of GENEPRO daily and try to get the rest of my Protein in with solid food. If for some reason I don't, then I'll take more GENEPRO in the evening.

I work nights (5pm-5am) so my schedule is a nightmare and I think it adds to my slow weight loss. But hey, I'm 44 lbs lighter than I was 2 months ago, so I'm happy!

Oh, hair loss has started. Not pleased with that part. Luckily I have very long thick hair. I hope it doesn't continue too long. I do notice a couple areas it is thinning.

Well, this morning I weighed myself and I'm at 211.6. This is amazing! I've officially lost almost 100 pounds since I started this journey (34 pounds pre op, 64 pounds since surgery on 8/31). I have a lot more to lose to get to my goal, but it all seems more of a possibility now then when I started :-).

I'm having surgery again on January 3 to repair my hernias - the ones I received from my cancer surgeries. This will be the first surgery I've had in 4 1/2 years where they're not taking something out :-). I'm a little scared because I'm not sure how I'm going to be able to get in all the Protein and Water when I'm recovering.

Still having issues with Constipation. Further, I noticed this week that hair loss has started :-(. Also, my arm skin looks like it belongs on a 90 year old alligator. These are such minor changes - I'm so glad I had this surgery. I can move and chase my grandkids. I can play with them and get down on the floor with them. The constipation, Hair loss, and saggy chicken wings are inconsequential in comparison.

My surgeon said I have a really small frame - say what?? Other than short, small has not been a part of my vocabulary in 16 years.

My waist - which has been hidden behind rolls of lard - is finally back. The damage I did to my body eating all the crap I did for so long, is appalling. I'm praying that I continue to eat mindfully everyday and that I use this tool that has brought me a new chance at life, the way it's meant to be used. I pray that I will no longer be a slave to food and that it will remain what it's meant to be - fuel for my body rather than food for my soul.

Happy New Year to all!
