I'm almost 6 1/2 years post op!

Oct 20, 2009

Well, it's been a while, so I thought I'd update: I started taking the Reliv products almost 2 years ago.  The only other thing I take is an iron pill 2-3 times per week. I haven't had labs done lately, but I don't 'feel' like i have the anemia issues i used to. I have gained 30 pounds, though, and Grrrrrr...it makes me mad!  I just saw some pics of myself last night and I'm going to really try to walk 4-5 times a week.  I can tell I can eat about twice what I used to be able to eat.  I have bouts with hypoglycemia where my sugar drops pretty low, around 50. That's usually after eating hot fudge. You'd think I'd learn, but NO!!  I'm not the greatest at eating healthy, my family are junk food junkies, and they've sucked me in.  Oh well, I love my family. lol  The only other things that I struggle with are gas and burping.  Aggrivation!  All in all, though, I've been very content with having the surgery.  No regrets.  I give Jesus ALL the glory for the fairly smooth ride that I've had.
