almost 3 years post op!

Jan 28, 2011

Well here I am almost 3 yrs post op (in June) and think I've done pretty well.  I can't believe it's only been 3 yrs since I had the WLS, it seems longer than that!!! I am currently in the mid 160's, fluctuating between 161-165 right now.  I am going through some hormonal issues and insomnia right now, probably left over from when I had my baby last April.   I upped my b12 dosage though back when I started having insomnia though, went from 1000 mcg to 2500 mcg a day and my PCP said that could be it.   That was the only thing I changed though, so that could very well be it.   I've been on a lower dose of it for about a month now and it seems to be really helping me, so we'll see.

We're trying to figure out what's wrong with me and I need to go see an Endrocrinologist soon.  So I have to watch what I eat, although I'm stressed, and try to stay below 170.   That number is not my friend and my clothes really don't fit when I get to that weight!   I got to a low of 140 lbs right before I got pregnant in July of 2009 and gained 27 lbs during the whole pregnancy.   I lost all 27 lbs in the first 6 days (which is normal for me to lose it within 2-3 weeks with my other 2 kids) but then went on to have post partum depression (again!!) and got on some meds that made me gain all that weight back.  

So here I am, trying to lose at least 15 more lbs to get back to 150, where I'd be happy- 145 would be even better.   I need to get my butt in gear and stop snacking so much (especially on cookies and sweets!) and start exercising!!!   I'm getting a little chub on my butt and thighs (as you can see, lol) and I want that to go away soon!!  We'll see, I want to lose this by summer!

Here's a pic of me now:
