Back from vacation
We returned from our vacation. We had a lovely time, but Glen got a cold starting Saturday night, and now all of us have it in varying degrees. I did fine with eating and drinking on the vacation, and took several walks on the beach. I reached the next milestone which is that I lost 20% of my excess weight. I am excited about that, but my weight loss right now is kind of pretty slow, almost non-existent. I need to start exercising more, but one thing is that I am really, really, really tired. I can't remember if I talked about it before. There could be a variety of reasons. Could be the loss of blood/low hemoglobin still, it could be the low calories, and it could be the lack of caffeine. I am like a zombie. I don't sleep a lot, but I just feel really weak. I did talk to my dietician/coordinator about it. I see my PCP, Dr. Carion, on Monday, and will see Dr. Hawasli toward the end of the month and at that time they are supposed to do more bloodwork. I talked to several people who had some form of bariatric surgery, and I have heard of people being tired anywhere from 2-6 weeks. So for now I am just going to hang in there, get enough water, protein, calories, and iron, and will talk a walk every day, even if it's not super strenuous. I just feel like I could sit and watch TV all day, and I hate that feeling!
