April 2003

Not much going on on weight loss anymore. I've stabilized in the 140s and I think that is where I will stay. My weight does fluctuate between 144-146 but a couple of pound fluctuations are normal so I don't worry about it.

I haven't been eating as much protein as I used to (meats, fish) and have been eating more complex carbs (cereal) and so I've noticed a bit of my hair coming out again. This is something I've resigned myself to -- that I will have to stay up on the protein always or else my hair will start coming out again. So keep that in mind all you potential WLS people!

I feel that I am now normal in every way regarding eating except for portions which have to remain small. I'm no longer eating out of control like pre-WLS nor eating tiny specially prepared meals like post-WLS. I'm free of the obsession over food :)

I'll update this journal sporadically from here on out as there isn't much weight-related news anymore.
