Here it is one year out. I’m 16 pounds under my goal. Who would have thought I would ever be below a goal weight. On my anniversary I was back in the hospital having emergence surgery. I have been having trouble with nausea and throwing up. Turns out I had some adhesions and a kink in my small bowel. Got that fixed, now in very bad pain. Was sent back to the ER last night for fluids and better pain and nausea meds. I had to have my gallbladder out in July. That was a piece of cake.

So in the last year I have had 3 surgeries, 9 CT, 4 upper GI, numerous x-rays and test. It is getting harder to say I would do this again., keep my head up. Now anything I put in my mouth just makes me sick, even water. Eating a small cup of Jell-O is like eating a pound of meat and a loaf of bread. The sounds I get after eating could wake the dead. I go back to the surgeon in the morning.

Vitamin levels are a little off. B-12 is way off. Started doing the shots once month, but at the end of the month B-12 is down in the low 200’s. 2000 right after the shot.

Now for some good things, I’m down to 30 waist pants for a 46, can wear 28 but no room for the extra skin. Also wearing med size shirts, down from 3XL. Now a inch taller, that’s a good thing.
