Update, worries and wonders...
Apr 06, 2011
So I found some benadryl and took it last night. Boy, did that knock me on my butt. I slept for about 8 hours, but it didn't feel like it. My husband is worried and says that I look like he needed to take me to the ER! He told me that the last time he saw me look this way I spent 4 days in the hospital. But I just needed more sleep. I had a few more hours and feel a bit more better. But the kids are crying so much that my headache is coming back. They don't feel well either. The other things my husband was trippin' out on was the fact that I'm losing too much weight. I would have to agree. I look a bit sickly when I'm feeling ok. Imagine what I've been looking like these past few days! OMG! I haven't totally reached the goal that the doc set for me which is 140, but 160 feels comfortable for me. Now, How do you gain weight? I eat all the time because of the hypoglycemia and still lose weight. I haven't been able to work out regularly because of the headaches. So what the heck am I supposed to do...eat sausage and bacon to gain a few pounds or do I just try to build some muscle? I'm just so confused. My husband has been so supportive and I understand his concerns. He's just so tired of me going through so much before and after surgery. He wonders if it was worth it. And I have to admit....he had me thinking for a minute on weather it's been worth it either. I still say yes, because I have over 100 lbs gone and I do feel better about myself. I think I just have to do some fine tuning and get things under control. I just want to be healthy and feel like a woman again. I take my vitamins and try to get in all my protien and water for the day. Some days are harder than others, but I haven't given up. I want to thank all the girls that have checked in on me and left me such good information, best wishes and prayers! You guys are great! I hope that by the weekend I can be back on track and feeling 'human'. lol!
