13 weeks out (3 months)

Sep 19, 2010

Praise God, I'm still doing great!  I have had zero complications so far.  The only thing I have had to deal with lately is constipation.  Switched from Citrate calcium chewables to Citrical tabs.  That did it.  I know that I needed the calcium citrate, so I started on the Citrical.  Ever since then, moving my bowels has become an event.  Asked my surgeon about it, he told me to take Colace.  Found a generic equivalent, and started to take it.  Much better!  Still have to push, but it is better than it was.  Sorry, I know....TMI.  I also have begun the dreaded hair loss. It is not coming out in clumps, but when I brush it, there is a ton left in the brush and it seems like hair is everywhere!  I really have to be careful when I am cooking.  If I ever found a hair in my food, I would croak!  Even if it is my own.  I was rather surprised that I would start the hair loss this soon.  I thought it would be at around 5-6 months.  Oh well.  Hopefully it won't get much worse than what it is now.  I have lost 47 lbs. so far.  I was really hoping to have hit the 50 lb mark by 3 months.  I almost did it.  I will check back in probably next month.
