Doctor's visit

I had my three month check up and well, I'm doing great!!! My levels are rising and I'm healing well. I think it's gonna take a bit longer for me to heal completely, because of the leak. But I'm confident I'll feel better as time goes by. I still have the abdominal tightness from time to time. Yesterday was pretty bad. One woman wrote me, hers lasted 8 months.

I tried some Farina this morning, just to have something different. It was so good. the one teaspoon full I could keep down. I still bring food back that disagrees with me. Oh well, delicate stomach.

I've lost 36% of my EWL (estimated weightloss). I'm down 46 pounds since surgery and have 91lbs to go. Not bad... : )

Right now I'm batteling depression. Gotta watch my Vit. D levels and just wait out this seasonal depression I get at the end of the year. Sigh...

Some loose faster

Being a revision, i never expected too loose weight fast. I've lost about 50lbs or so. Which gives me 90 more too loose. I don't know how long this will take. I'm a bit impatient. seeing people with higher weightloss than I have, makes me wonder if this all will come off. Time will tell. When you've failed one wls, you get iffy about yourself. that's where i am now.

it's been a while

But i'm still here!! OMG did i go thru it with the TPN and the antibiotics I.V. I'm so glad it's all behind me now. I'm eating solids, although i have to take small bites and chew, chew, chew. I'm almost 3 months out and I've lost about 50lbs. yeah! I have more energy and am able to take my vitamins. Something i had problems with in the beginning.

I feel positive about many things and even ventured out to a concert. something i would have never done before WLS.

I'll try too keep this blog more up to date in the future.
