[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 173324, member: 1991"] I haven't had much chance to go online today - I took mother in law to have her eyes operated on with laser, it was supposed to be done a few years ago when her cataracts were done but she chickened out at the time, plus moved down to be near us and kept postponing it (because she was scared of having it done). So I'm home again. You've lost a bit over 20 pounds - that's great! That's about 10 Kg, and you started after me. Plus, I don't think you've got pills helping you. I've found the weird out of proportion thing, too. I can get into the bottom half of suits but not the top half. And my new trousers tat easy child bought for my birthday - I haven't even had the chance to wear one of the pairs yet, and they're way too big. easy child 2/difficult child 2 made me buy a very young-looking and nicely shaped cardigan/jacket on sale on Monday so I wore it today. I needed a nice blouse underneath it, preferably long-sleeved so I could wear my thermals underneath (it's cold here!) so I reached in to my wardrobe and grabbed a shirt of the right colour. I was in a hurry as I put it on and didn't realise until later, that it's a shirt I haven't worn in years, because it's been too tight. And today it was loose on me! So the extra weight on top is now starting to come off as well, now. I don't know how my liver enzymes are at the moment. The specialist was adamant that I had to wait until I went back to him (a 6 month interval) before he would do more tests. I'm suspecting my BiPolar (BP) is going up a bit though - when I saw the neurologist on Monday he took my BiPolar (BP) and it was up, although he said it could have been a deliberate error in his machine because it was donated by a drug company which aims to sell medications for BiPolar (BP)! I suggested he double-check with an old mercury sphygmomanometer and he did - and the BiPolar (BP), although normal, was still a bit high by my usual standard. With the weight loss what seems to now be happening is everything has slowed down, because with less of me to carry around, I'm burning less calories. I need to exercise more to compensate. Not easy, because my leg is still sore with a torn muscle. I need to do more Wii Fit as well, which takes time to organise. Interesting - tonight, starting in a few minutes on ABC TV (that's our national broadcast TV channel) is a science program called Catalyst. Tonight's episode is about the liver, and husband doesn't want me to miss it. Here is the link, have a look. I only glimpsed enough to know it was the right one, I'll read it later.
