The good, the bad, the confusing ...

Jul 18, 2009

Everyday is an adventure.  I feel that I am doing really well adjusting to the different challenges and unknowns in the WLS journey.  Of course late last night for my final snack I wasn't able to keep it down.  I really think I have the flu.  I am running a little temp and have the chills.  All in all feel icky.  However, I am anxious and can't seem to relax.  So here I am on the boards and thought I would blog, keep myself occupied.

As I posted earlier I can't even keep my meds/supplements down.  I will be careful, so don't worry.

THE GOOD: On another topic, and one I am so excited about ... FRUITS!  Yes, I am able to eat fruit.  So far I have had, white peach, banana, blueberry, blackberry and apple.  I have a cantaloupe ripening on the counter.  I didn't dare buy the raspberries, wow are they expensive.  Now that I know I can eat them, I think next week when I feel better it's a trip to the farmer's market.

THE BAD: With the knees, yes they are better.  No, they are not where I want them to be.  When I saw the doc on Thursday he was very happy with my extended range of motion but is worried about how much relief I will have with the weight loss.  He said there is no guarantee.  I have been back on the NSAIDS for 2.5 weeks now.  By my next appointment with him we should determine if we need to increase the dosage.  He feels this NSAID,  Salsalate, is the least likely to develop ulcers.    I am already feeling less pain.  We will just wait and see.

THE CONFUSING: Is it the flu, is it something else ... will my pouch like it this time ... it changes constantly ... well I guess we should chalk the confusing part up to the adventure part ... and enjoy the mystery!

Until next time ...
