thursday afternoon
everything looks good so dr.suh says.  I still feel fat although i had to go buy new clothing. down to 185....

thursday morning
on my way to c the surgeon for  a post tube out apt. i feel really fat and bloated i dont have many insperations for today i dont think its gonna be nice when i step n the scale.

04/27/10 looks like the feeding tube will come out the stitches ripped out my stomach and its loose my fam. prac. dr. is worried about it coming out, altough i can eat now i still am not absorbing nutrition as well as i should i take potassium and iron liquid everyday through the tube but my levels will not go up insteed they have declined so now i have to see a specialist that deals with anemic patients only. i will have to go to the hospital at least 1x a week for injections and iv fluids for the rest of my life...oouuggghhhh!!!! but look on the brite side im thinner which is what i wanted,,,ha yeah i really wanted this.... down to 193lbs.

 i never knew what wonderland  ment till the other day when i sat and thought wow im about 6-8 lbs. away from the high 100,s. DUH! thats wonderland, how could i not know, well today im about 202 tomorrow ill probebly be 200 or 199 i go down fast. and now im not so happy about it  have went down in size so fast, the office staff at the dr.s office said i looked really sick and my nephew said wow what the heck happened to u why r u so sucked up, u look like a crack head how did you get so skinny? were,nt you really fat like 2 months ago? i just laughed he really thought i was on druggs, how sad. but oh well. so the point is im not so into the 1derland thing rite now hope fully everything will be better soon, hope i dont need to have the feeding tube in to long. 

well ive been home since friday im just in to much pain to have got on any sooner to update, dr. found that i had some guts stuck together and a fold in mu pouch its strange and ano answeer as to how but he was able to fix it and i got the jtube in and i wish i didnt have to i wish i could just pull it out it hurts so much i started to cry last nite the kids just stay quiet they dont really know what to think anymore. im homebound which means if the nurses find out i go out side or leave they will report me to the dr. and ill go back to the hosptital wich probebly is where i should have stayed in the first place. well thanks to thoose of you who have keeped up tp date with me and for your prayers.


well im off 2 the hospital for the 4th surgery since gastric bipass oohh yeah and a feeding tube, hope it works this time. i hope i can come home 2nite after surgery.

well monday ill be 11 weeks post-op and in the hospital for the 6th  or 7th time since WLS, dr. is gonna do a laparoscopy to c if he can find what the problem is( why i have restriction) and thogh i have started eating this week he  is still very concerned about my nutrition i have been on malnutrition watch for three weeks and the picc line experience was just horrid considering i developed tuns of bloodclotts, so know im gonna get a j tube in my stomach that goes directly in2 the small bowel until further notice. on the other hand i have lost around 60 ponds since surgery and am looking thinner everyday.(:
