So, even thought i've lost 87lbs in the past year.. (about 52lbs since surgery..) It still hasn't really registered wtih me yet.... i still feel really fat (I know in pictures i look better... and at certain angles my legs look totally normal... when you can't see all the skin that i'll need to have removed.. lol), overweight, unhealthy, whatever. I don't see much of a difference in myself,.
I was carrying a milk jug today.. 1 gallon. and one gallon of orange juice,.. just taking them into the house, from the car. they're about 8lbs a piece, i believe.. maybe a little over like 8.3lbs or something.
I've lost 87lbs. that's almost 11 gallons of milk.
Holy Crap.
I was carrying around that much weight. on my body. and my body is still functioning? not crippled and crushed? how the hell does that happen?
i'm thinking if i had those gallons attached to me as i walk around.... I'd probably pass out...
No wonder I had so many issues with my blood pressure before... dear lord!
I've had an epiphany today. That is all.

6 month post-op bloodwork..
Here were all my lab results.. I'm starting to make sure I get a copy of everything (and I mean everything.. even the research stuff.) when I go to these appointments (and appointments with my endocrinologist..)
Everyone (well, all of my doctors) know I have this blog.. and they're usually pretty leniant (is that the word..?) with me.. Haha.
Next time I see my endocrinologist I'm gonig to ask if she can write down, or show me so i can write down, (or just print off the graph there is on the computer..) of my bmi over the years and all these different things they've showed me over the years.. i forgot to ask last time i was there.
But yeah. here it is!! i'm pretty sure if you click on the pictures, you can enlarge it all or zoom in to see clear-er. (: [actually, I just found out you can't zoom.. so i'm going to add links to the pictures below each one.. if you click on it the picture will come up.... and if you click on the picture, it'll zoom and you can read it all.]

Haha alright.. Yeah. That's about it. Just thought I'd share.. I'm not entirely sure what half of this means... I mean, I have a basic understanding.. (I didn't at first.. I called my mom who is an RN who helped me out.. but what she didn't know, i just googled, or asked my endocrine when I saw her.. lol) But a lot of it is still foreign to me.. obviously.. i've never been to med school or in any advanced science/biology/chemistry classes or anything.. lol.
well yeah. I'm gonna go now. (:
Bye.<3
