Wasting Away!!!

Mar 21, 2009

Wow! I haven't been on this site for like 9 months! A lot has happened during that time.  In August I noticed my stomach bulging around my surgery site. Had a lot of pain and nausea too.  Turns out I had a huge hernia from my ribs/sternum to my belly button, at the site of my bypass incision. Had it operated on in September but it failed a couple months later.  I had to have it re-operated on in December. They did a double mesh to cover it and prevent it from busting out again. I had such bad pain and nausea that I lost 26lbs in two months! Too much too fast! I am all better now but I continue to lose weight.  I am concerned.  I have reached my goal of 200lbs weight loss and have lost 10 more lbs.  I am getting too skinny.  How do I stop this? I started drinking my protein shakes again and I started taking digestive enzymes with every meal or snack.  The enzymes seem to really help my diarrhea so hopefully I am absorbing more nutrients.  I think it is time to go back to my bariatric surgeon...I don't want to waste away

I will let you all know how it goes.
