Today was my annual check up from bariatric surgery, Tuesday was my 1 year date. I have been stalled on loss since December, today I weighed 3 pounds less, very happy dance. Been better at logging food but not water/fluids, but I know I am drinking a gallon about every 36 hours, cause I have to make new batch of drink. Spoke with dr about half my hair is missing, she said she could see growth and told me to give it a year. We talked about my stiff neck, migraine and dizziness in January. She used to work with a neurologist and gave me information to talk to primary doctor about for testing.
My sewing projects are progressing well. I have made three aprons, one for a friend with two pockets and pen holder, then two for me one for inside and one for outside. I have made three totes 2 for shopping one with no pockets, one with pockets on the ends to hold spare bags, and another for my pool stuff. I also took apart a damaged gaucho skirt used the pieces as a pattern, worked from memory of making pants, I now have a navy blue gaucho skirt size 18/20 ish and pattern pieces to make another if I ever want to make another. I was behind on my annual Harley Davidson patches on my denim jacket had all the way back to 2014 to put on, got caught up and then some. On the one tote for the pool stuff, it has six pockets, to hold, a towel, sunscreen, snacks, sunglasses/goggles, drink glass, spare filled drink bottles.( thinks I will keep some frozen). I did get to use my snowblower twice so far. It is battery operated uses the lawn mower batteries. Been switching focus to setting outside goals such as pruning trees; well lilac bush, apple tree cherry trees. Made two aprons with 7 pockets to hold the batteries for the mower, weed eater, chain saw, and leaf blower and also the spare spools for the weed eater. Next sewing project is a organizer for a walker, making 2, one for an online friend and one to keep on hand if needed in the future for me or husband. Also have pattern for sewing machine cover and table organizer. Also have material for a second gaucho skirt I am thinking I am going to try to make pockets to go in it. I have also been sorting and trimming up some hexagon quilt pieces. Been rescuing them from the basement from before clean up. And I have a request for a small face mask.
Friday is visit to husband’s dr. They are talking valve replacement since they only did repair in October. He is not holding down food, it doesn’t taste right, not sleeping, exhausted from sitting and watching tv, trouble with breathing, gasping like, weak, no strength can barely walk 20 feet without getting winded.Yesterday he got exhausted helping replace three of the screws in doggie door flap. It only has four screws total, did put longer ones in and nuts on the outside of the flap.
This is my summary for my first year. Be fun stay optimistic.
