6 month surgiversary
Jan 22, 2010
Well today is my 6 month anniversary. Wow what a change in me and my world. I knew that there would be changes, but wasnt totally prepared for all of them.
Today the Dr. did tell me my labs were wonderful, and even decreased some of my supplements. I have been taking 50,000 units of vit d once a week, he now wants me to take 2,000 a day. I was concerned about my iron intake, as i was anemic before surgery & my hair has been falling out, but the DR said my iron level is great.
My surgeon is 250 miles away, so it is a long drive, about 4 hours, one way. I am so glad that my husband went with me. I had a hard time staying awake on the way down, and I also ate some bacon and evidently my pouch did not like it this morning.
I asked about a goal weight- he said that i would probably lose another 20 pounds this year, and in the year or so after that, I would regain the additional 20 pounds, so that would put be right back at 151ish- and I am happy with the weight I am at today. I think I look good- except the thinning hair, the dr. said that would come back also.
I am still not use to seeing me thin,and having people notice. I actually had two old friends, that i havent seen in 2 years, not recognize me when we got together. It was a great feeling- they never knew me when I was skinny.
I go back to the dr. in 3 months and then 3 months later. at the year anniversary he will do more blood work, and wants me to have a bone density scan. Hopefully every thing will still be fine, and my hair will be growing back.
thanks for listening,
Kim
