December 12th will be 5 months out from my surgery on July 25th and I am 41.8 pounds down from my day of surgery weight!

LAST WEEK- on November 24th I had my gallbladder removed so that was (not) fun. Clearly, my body hates me. I’m happy it’s out, but I didn't have too much time at home to recover due to the holidays and then going back to school. Everyday gets easier though, just as recovery was for the wls.

I have finals this week and next, and then holidays so I am freaking out a little about staying on track... especially since I can’t lift again for 4-6 weeks (Hey, Cardio)! 

Also, I’ve noticed my hair coming out which is annoying because i’ve been so good with Biotin since the beginning but whateverrrrrr. Other than all that, i’m felling good.

As I mentioned, I had my surgery Saturday afternoon (!!!) and today was my first doctors appointment & I weighed in at 222.8! I don’t like to weigh myself, so the last time I weighed myself was about 3 days before surgery and I was 232. I feel like it was a lot of weight to lose in about a week so I have mixed feelings about it- I am ALWAYS the one looses the bare minimum. For example- if most people had said they lost 5 pounds at this point, I would expect to lose 1 pound. So, its nice that things are finally different. BUT, I don’t wan’t it to slow down really soon since its “fast” right now. 

I was having a hard time with protein and liquid intake so that is probably a reason for the loss, but I’m trying to not be discouraged, but optimistic?
