3 Month Post
Sep 18, 2008
I had my 3 month post-op check-up today and I am down 62 lbs since surgery. I am taking no blood pressure meds any more and my blood pressure was 118/72. Everything is going great on the physical front. This month has been challenging on the emotional front, however. I allowed myself to get run down just after my 2 month check and that lead to long periods of fatigue and the familiar sinking feeling of depression. Thankfully ,people here on OH, including Shari, Tracy, Lexi and Lithia helped me get through that period. I have been feeling better again this past week. My bariatric program wants me to increase my calorie intake when I am physically active, start back on B complex supplements and to make sure I stick to my plan of seeing a bariatric psychologist once a month until I am a year out from surgery. With OH support, better nutrition, another supplement, and some counseling, I expect the coming month to be much bettter than this past one has been. I am looking forward to that.
