50 pounds!

I can't beleive it! I have lost 50 pounds! Isn't that amazing?! I could never have done it without the surgery. I now weigh 155.5lbs. I remember weighing this when we lived in San Fran. Of course, I was depressed and not happy to be 155. I was struggling with my weight even then - and that was 8yrs ago. That really puts it into perspective - how long I've been battling my weight.

Now I feel like I am on the homestretch to succeess. It feels good to be this weight and still have the energy to keep going. Every 10 pounds that comes off will feel amazing. I can't wait for the next 10pounds to drop - I am hoping I can drop them by Christmas. The surgeon said my weight loss should slow down quite a bit now and to expect approx 18pounds to drop over the next 3 months - that was a week ago and I've already dropped 1.5 pounds.

Surgeon was happy with my progress and my bloodwork came back saying that my vitamin and mineral levels were looking healthy - that's good news. Sometimes I choke down my pills.

Here's a list of the pills I take every day.
Morning: 2 calcium pills, 1 x50mg zoloft (I am on the lowest dose now, which is good news), 1 prilosec pill, 1 colace pill(to make bowel movements easier.)
Evening: 1 multivitamin for women plus 1 iron pill (the iron pills make me feel sick, so I take them at night. Plus you can't take iron and calcium together as they negate each other.)
