Today is my 7 month surgiversary!I weighed 233 lbs this morning. I am down 123 lbs from my highest weight (356).
I have gone from a size 32 in jeans to a size 20. I have gone from a size 5x in shirts to a size 2x.
I had blood taken on Saturday and will get the results at my follow-up visit with Dr. Eibes next week. I am keeping my fingers crossed that he is satisfied with my weight loss and that my vitamins levels have increased since they were checked at the end of January, which is when he put me on daily Vitamin A and weekly Vitamin D supplements.
I have not been to the gym in almost two weeks and it really sucks! I am struggling with not feeling well. I have "acute viral gastroenteritis" and was in bed from Tuesday to Thursday of last week. I am not over it completely. My PCP said it could take me a couple of weeks to get over it. When I saw him on Wednesday, I couldn't keep anything down and was very dehydrated. He put me on a med to keep me from vomitting. He said it is very strong and commonly prescribed to chemo patients. I began taking it on Wednesday but couldn't keep anything down until Thursday. If I was not keeping anything down on Friday morning, he planned to send me to the hospital for IVs. Thank goodness that wasn't necessary! But I have had incidents of vomitting since, including this morning. I hate feeling so worn down, having such an irritable stomach/pouch, and feeling like there is a huge ball of gas in my gut all the time!! I pray I get over this sooner than later! UGH!
All told, I remain very happy with my RNY. I would do it again in a heartbeat and I so wish that I had done it sooner! But, it happened when it happened for a reason. And it has truly been a gift!
Until next time OH Friends ..
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AND MAGIC WILL HAPPEN
