Its been FOREVER!!!
Jun 11, 2012
Its been such a long time since i have wrote on here. over a years to be exact!! So much in my life has changed since the surgery. I have severe hypoglycemia and vitamin D deficency. Its been hard but i'll be ok. But the most important and big change and surprise is that I AM PREGNANT!!! I am 22weeks today and i am having a baby girl!! I never thought that i would or was able to have children. It's not an easy pregnancy but imma get through it and be strong for my baby... I'm excited, scared and feel blessed at the same time.

sooooo... im doing better than i was, but every day is different. Some days i can eat a lil something, others i cant eat nothin at all.... I'm having a weird problem with liquids, water and any other liquid gives me really bad heart burn.... so to get liquid in my body i have to eat popsicles..... so far i am exactly 2 weeks out and lost 20 pounds!!! I dont really see it but its cool, in due time!! My incisions can barely be seen already!!! thats a good thing!! lol i already had my gallbladder removed 3 years ago and have light scars from that procedure... so i am happy to see i wont have battle wounds all over my tummy!! lol looking forward to my future!!! YAY!!
