Ever since the WLS in December 2002, my life had changed alot.  I have yet to stay below 200# mark, but my weight always flucterates in 5-10# range which could be 205 or 215.  At one point I did went down to 186 but it didnt stay long, this was due to illness.  Now speaking of illness, I've noticed I tend to have MORE health problems compared to pre-WLS.  It's all related to WLS....last year I had lost almost 1/2 headful of my hair and even had biopsy done on my scalp to test for Lupus which turned out to be negative.  It was caused by iron deficiency!  And this was 4 yr post op at the time.  So I had to take 150 mg of iron supplement.  Im dealing with iron deficiency again, this time with easily bruising.  Maybe I'm not taking enough or not taking it every single day! 

I really, really want to reach my goal by July....I want to get down to 150# mark even tho I'm a size 15 now, I truely want to get down to a size 10 but being realistic, it'll be harder due to excess skin.  Hell, shopping for jeans was worse now than when I was at 352# because of the flab in my belly area.  If I go one size bigger, it'll be too baggy on my thigh/butt area.  Trying to get TT approved by my insurance isnt easy....so perhaps I'll have to save and pay on my own.

It's nice out now and I'm heading out to go for a walk!
