19 weeks post-op!

Oct 31, 2010

Hello to all!

I'm officially 19 weeks post op today and have lost 73 pounds!  Thank You, Jesus!  I'm doing well and I feel great!  I'm beginning to lose hair which is a bummer but it is what it is!  Hoping that i won't lose as much as others have posted but...once again....it is what it is.  i'm doing all i know to do to prevent it or help the new hair growth so i'll just wait and see what happens!

i have had bloodwork again to re-test my TSH levels.  5 weeks ago my TSH level was 12.37....normal is 0.45 - 4.50.  my endocrinologist said i was taking my levoxyl and my vitamins too close together.  so i continued to take the levoxyl when i first wake up in the morning but i didn't start taking my vitamins til lunchtime.  in only 4 weeks.....my TSH level is now 0.53!  WOW!  so....it is true.....don't take thyroid meds and vitamins close together!  have lots more energy since the thyroid level is back to normal!!

i ran/walked my first 5k last saturday!  i started the couch to 5k program 4 weeks ago.  i didn't run the entire time but i was so very happy with the accomplishment.  would have never dreamed 19 weeks ago that i'd participate in a 5k!  will be doing it again on 11/20.....so....hopefully i'll do a bit better.....but either way.....its so much better than sitting on the sofa stuffing my face with chips!!!

loving life!  got some ugly drooping skin.....but still loving life!

til next time.............
