Yet another catch up post

I know it's been almost two months since I posted anything. It has been a crazy couple months. I lost a family member the end of May which resulted in a very last minute trip to California. With everything that was going on I hit a plateau in the weight loss, I would go up a 1-2 pounds and then loss it only to gain some and loss some for like 4 weeks. This made it an even more of an up and down month. Towards the end of June I went back in for a follow up from my surgery and was told I was not getting enough protein and that I needed to start tracking again to make sure I was getting my 100 grams in. On a good day I am lucky to hit 70 so that is a bit of a stretch for me. With the ulcer it has made it even more difficult to eat and protein is one of the things I was having trouble tolerating. Well I made an effort and started to eat as much protein as I could, I was getting between 65-75 so I felt pretty good about that. That started the weight loss train in motion again. I lost 7 pounds the first week and another 2 the follow week. With that said I was finally able to reach and break 125 pounds lost last week!!!

Ulcer update: It's still there but showing signs of healing. I go back in on August 14th for another endoscopy (a scope of my stomach). Praying it is continuing to heal.

We had a nice 4th of July and spent it with my brother and his family. Nothing else too exciting has happened that I can think of.
