I am down 41 pounds and finally feeling Good, On Sept. 2 '07 I was admitted to hospital for Pneumonia, ever since leaving the hospital for RNY I had a low grade fever, every evening I started freezing, it got to where everytime I took a breath my L side would hurt horribly, I went to the doctor and he confirmed I had pneumonia, then I found out my Iron levels were extremely Low, the doctor was amazed I had the strength and energy to walk into his office because of the two. I am now on 325mg ferrous sulfate 2 x day, after a week I started feeling better. I am Happy w/ my weight loss, I did think it would be a few pounds more but I am content. I have been so sick that I have not exercised much at all since having my RNY but my doctor said he wanted me completely over the pneumonia before I started an exercise program, I go Oct.16 for another chest X-Ray and then a few days later for blood work to see if my Iron level has increased. Foods still do not bother me, I am guilty of eating too fast a couple of times and it came up, I am working on making a recipe section on my page, this will be a work in progress. I did get discouraged while I was in the hospital and while I felt so bad but now I am OK and Glad I had WLS. I am beginning to wear clothes I have not in a long time, that is an Awesome Feeling...I will post later...Good Luck to my Fellow WLS Friends...
