Vitamin Deficiency Already? It’s Crazy!

I am due for my 3-month follow-up with Dr. Khalili November 12th. I had my bloodwork last week. I got my results from my PCP’s nurse today. She said everything was good except my vitamin D was low. Aaaaaah! How can it be? A vitamin deficiency only 2 months after surgery? Geez!

I’m in shock.

I have been taking my 2 Centrum chewables daily, plus calcium and B12, religiously.

Well, I am back to normal energy-wise. I have walked for 45 minutes and could have walked longer, but my lunch was over..hehe.

I have now lost 33 lbs. I realize I do not lose as fast as others, and I have accepted that. There are benefits to not having weight drop off you quickly, such as not having a lot of sagging skin. Even though 30 lbs. is not a lot, I CAN see the difference. Woohoo!
