I lost 105 lbs. for surgery and a healthier future, hoped writing this blog would help me stay focused. The slideshow shows me from my highest of 322 pounds down to 211 pounds. Since my retirement and cancer diagnosis, weight has crept back. I focused on the cancer in 2010-11. Well, now it's Spring of 2015 and I have regained almost all the weight, back up to 284. I guess I should change the title to Weight Loss Journey AGAIN.

Pre-Op Physical
After work today I had my pre-op physical. Everything is good: the EKG, the blood pressure, all the usual things. My GP is wonderful, and I have been going to her for 15 or more years. She always takes her time, answers all my questions, remembers me and my issues, and makes me feel like she cares about me. So...she was really impressed with the weight loss! In all this time, she has never seen me at this weight, which was 224.4 this morning at home. Yay!! On the down side, I did tell her that my ocular migraines have increased in frequency and intensity. I had two in September and two in October. Because of that, she is sending me to have more blood drawn to test the electrolytes, my thyroid, and my vitamin D. She said the weight loss might even be bringing them on more often. I was heading over there right after the physical until I learned that they would be closed before I got there, so I'll head over after work tomorrow.
