1 month Post op

Jan 31, 2010

I can't believe that it has been so long since I have updated my status.  Let's see, since I last posted I had my 1 month check up with Dr. Olsen and everything went well.  He said I am losing right on target.  I am struggling with protein alot.  He told me to make sure that I am getting in my liquids and to drink a protein shake for breakfast.  I am somewhat struggling with liquids too.  It seems that i keep falling short of 64oz each day.  But, I am afraid of being hospitalized for dehydration so I am making more of an effort to do better. Right now i am sipping sipping away! lol! I did notice that i can handle cold liquids if I drink them threw a straw.  So, I believe this will help alot in getting all 640z in. I am still struggling with nothing tasting good.  Food is just blah to me and i could care less if i eat or not.  I really was not expecting this reaction.  I knew that there would be some foods that i would not like anymore but to not really like anything is crazy!  I am still eating just a few bites of this and that.  I have cheated and had carbs.  I know I know.  I still do not know if i truly dump or not.  I have not tried anything with much sugar.  I am too afraid.  My schedule between work and school is to exhausting to have to take a break for a 15-30 min dumping episode if i can avoid it.  I also am having problems with my vitamins.  The calcium citrate is terrible! I am definitely not the best post-op patient at this RNY thing, but I am trying.  Please keep me in your prayers that I will continue to do well in the areas I am doing well in and improve in the others!
