3 month post op appointment

Feb 03, 2012

Had my 3 month follow up today, have lost a total of 80lbs from my highest and 68 from the start of optifast.  The clinic's goal is 181-220lbs, so I am currently at their high end goal.. I told Vanessa (ApN) that I had a personal goal of 150lbs.  She pretty much told me it was unlikely that I would get there based on their statistics.  Pooh, I think I shall prove them wrong and be the exception to that rule.  Nothing like a throw down challenge to fire one up.

My blood work numbers were all excellent with the exception of my iron which is "depleted" so now I am taking iron and vitamin c at night for the next three months to see if it brings the numbers back.  I have always had low iron but according to Vanessa the number is so low if I needed to generate red blood cells I don't have enough iron in my body to do it....supplement it is.

Need to go to a store and try on some clothes things are falling off, thank god for the bag of clothes my daughter gave me or I wouldn't be able to leave the house. 

I'm up to 2km walking a day (weather permitting) and want to add yoga and more consistant strength training.  Otherwise things are good, still battling some food taste issues but am very happy that I went through with this.
