Weigh, Weight, Weighed, Weighing

It's all about that isn't it?

How much do I weigh now?
How much weight have I lost or gained?
How many lbs. was I when I was last weighed?
How much have I been weighing?

Well after my surgery things were going well at first and I quickly lost about 30 lbs. I went from 301 lbs. to 274.5 lbs by the end of June.

Something happened after that, perhaps the steroids (they make you really hungry) and I started gaining weight again.

Now I'm off the steroids again and I'm back down to 274.4 lbs.

I haven't done much physical activity. In fact I've been so achy and sore and in pain that I can't move much. My appetite has decreased though, a lot. I'm eating probably about 1/4 of what I used to eat. Now if I can just get the strength and endurance to add exercise to that, I'd be doing quite well.

I saw my old Endocrinologist today. I need to go for lab work and see her back in 12 days to see if I need to go back on steroids or stay off of them. I forgot to tell her about my leg. My right leg has been giving me problems about half way down from my knee to my ankle. Sometimes it feels real hot and turns red and it hurts.
