Weight – 285 lb, which is a 4.5 loss for the week. It’s a nice boost.
I wasn’t all that hungry this week so I was able to keep my calories really low. And even though I had the baby shower last Sunday I didn’t eat much there either. It was a brunch, served family style – I had a small half slice of ham, one spoonful of hashbrown potatoes, and a big spoonful of scrambled eggs and two cups of coffee. I estimated a total of 500 calories for all of it, but since it counted for two meals that wasn’t too awful. I had a small dinner so my overall calories were still under 1000 for the day.
I have decided to put the whole low vitamin D being a possible result of having a parathyroid tumor (which would mean major surgery) on the back burner. I’m just going to focus on doing what I have to do to qualify and get ready for the gastric bypass surgery, hopefully to be scheduled this summer in August. I will deal with getting all the other possible health issues later on – it’s not like it is definitely the problem so I wanted to get the gastric bypass done first since that is definitely needed to improve my health.
After all if I do have a problem with my parathyroid then I’ve had it for years, so waiting another year or two isn’t going to be a big deal. Once I’ve lost a significant amount of weight, I can then go into my doctor’s office and ask about getting the needed testing without the usual response of looking me up and down and then being dismissed as just another fat person who thinks they have a thyroid problem.
I’m heading over to see my best friend Mama Kelly today for our usual monthly overnight visit. We try to get in a visit every month whenever possible. It’s one of the rare times I get to spend any quality time with any one else outside of my family and work so it’s a real treat for me.
Hope everyone has a great weekend.
