It's been a while!

Sep 05, 2009

I seem to slack off a lot updating here. Well a quick update. I'm now 1yr 4mos post op. I currently weigh 135 Lbs according to my Dr's office scale, 133 Lbs at home. Sounds great and all, but actually it's way too low for me, since I am 5'10". I'm trying to increase my caloric intake since I am breastfeeding I am burning so many calories by that alone it's actually quite difficult to gain weight. It's so weird saying that....wish that had been my problem all along because then I would have never needed this surgery! Anyway I also am having issues with hypoglycemia. The past 2 months I have had about 5 or 6 episodes. I borrowed a glucometer from my mom and recorded blood sugars in the 50's and even a 47. Those of course are not good and I'm terrified because of the hypoglycemia and associated seizures my mom has dealt with since her gastric bypass. I'm so scared of having bad symptoms or God forbid, a seizure when I am alone with my kids or driving or something. Ugh, super scary. I just saw my doctor regarding it and I got my own glucometer and I have to keep an eye on it and increase my protein intake, eat every couple hrs and try to keep from crashing. Also have to go see an endocrinologist.

On another note, I just went shopping for some new jeans and got 4 pairs in a Juniors size 7! Also had to get a dress skirt at Dillards and I had to get a size 4 lol I know that's not right but hey, it's kinda cool to see that number.
