3 Month Appointment

Weight 291

Yesterday was my 3 Month Check up with my Surgeon!!! He informed me I have already lost 30% of my weight. I have concluded that 64 lbs is the size of an 8 year old. I have lost a whole 8 year old from my body in 3 months, its AMAZING!

Of course they had to take my picture, still no fun maybe in 6 months when I'm even smaller. I also have to go into my General Practitioner's office & get some blood tests. Cross your fingers that I pass!!! I am going in today after work, so I should know this week.

We discussed my hairloss - ahhhhhh Im 29 can't start losing my hair yet! They suggested taking Biotin Pills, not sure if they will work but I'm up for it. Of course they also told me to eat MORE protein, like I can fin anymore protein if I tried! So starting today I am keeping a food journal for myself to see how much protein I am actually getting in!

So far today...
Protein Shake 25 Grams
Zone Bar 12 Grams

37 grams by 10 AM ! ! ! !
