New Year... New attitude

Long time, no post... But I'm 5 months out and eating better than before. Still not exercising, but that will change soon enough. Still have difficulty with the abdominal muscles. 

I'm down to 220lbs. I hope that by the next time I see my doc, I'll be in onederland. 

No more vomiting, which is a blessing. thank god. Had to adjust my vitamins, more iron, C and D3 plus trying too up the calcium.

This should even everything out by the next time I see him. In February, my PCP is doing a check on my iron. If it drops again, I'll get infusions. But, we'll see.

My clothes are down to an 18/20. Wow, haven't seen this size since college.

My mood is better also. Things are finally looking up for me with this surgery. 

Let's try this again...

It's been four months since my operation. Six months since I started loosing weight. I've lost 60lbs so far and when I look back.... It hasn't been easy. I'd gotten very sick and although I'm better, I still have difficulties. I wonder if I'll ever feel 100% healthy again. If I could get rid of these abdominal pains, it would be wonderful. Then I could swim, etc. I just wanna start living again.

Fourth Month

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.

I'm alive

i ended up with a leak and am on TPN and antibiotics. I.V. city. I don't know how long I'll be this way, but it could have been worse and I thank god I'm here. My belly is still sore, so much healing to do. 

I've lost weight. But i'm more concerned about being healthy.
