Weeks 12, 13 and 14

Wow 3 months since my surgery, time is just zipping along. This week I went for my final chat with Donna (the counsellor) and that went well, just talked about my goals etc and how to break them down into smaller bites. I also saw Zola - the nutritionist and Carol - the nurse. All my blood tests were good and so was my blood pressure so medically I'm ticking along just nicely :)!

I mentioned about my nails and Carol said yes both nails and hair suffer due to the lack of protein and it usually starts around now so I guess my hair will start thinning a little too now (should've waited before I had my haircut lol)!

I got my hair cut and coloured Friday week ago and it so gives you a perk up. That Sunday at church I had so many people complimenting me on my weight loss it was embarrassing!

I realised I'm hardly ever throwing up now which is good. Just when I realised that I went and throw up that meal LOL. Gravy with meat and bacon in it are so not nice the second time around!!

I went to see Pytha the other day (my friend who had the lapband at Christmas) and she passed some clothes on to me which is very much appreciated as my wardrobe was looking decidedly empty.

Had our last dance lesson on Tuesday and have the ball/social tonight. I wasn't able to get a dress or anything but have got a nice new top to wear and lovely new dancing shoes. It funny how different it feels to dance in proper shoes.

I have purchased Zumba off trademe and am waiting for it to arrive. There is a group of about 6 of us from church who are keen to do it together so we will go and use the church and the big screen.

So for the past 3 weeks losses, week 12 I lost 300g, week 13 I lost 1.3kg and week 14 I lost 300g. I now weigh 124.2kg which is a grand loss of 29.2kg! Just 800g more to go and I'm at 30kg! Wow! Maybe this week :)!

Off to support group tomorrow.
