5 Months post-op

May 22, 2010

Im a little late getting this out...I am doing great still no major complications...Thank you Jesus !!!

I am now a fulltime employee, I work at a Rehab hospital. 3-11, not the best shift for a mom of young children but I had to take what I could get.

I dont get enough rest, I dont drink enough fluids, the wt loss, in my opinion,  has slowed down....I saw my PCP this past week and he diagnosed me with a UTI and said there was blood in my urine...He also put me on Ambien for sleep and told me to drink more....

My outlook and my attitude have change drastically ....cant put my finger on it....but Im not the same person I was 5 months ago....but then again Im still that same ol' girl....its a wierd feeling....

The eating part of WLS is okay !!! I stick to the protien and the green vegies...my typical day is coffee with splenda and coffeemate, then a couple of pcs of ham (sandwich sliced),  sometimes if i have any,  a banana then off to work, where i have lunch thats usually some type of meat and brussell sprouts or broccoli or greens...i usually have 2 bottles of water throughout the day....and occasionally cheezits on the run...

Now that I write that down....thats not good enough....man, i need a kick in the pants....

No wonder im exhausted and dehydrated and suffer from a UTI...I promise to do better...

I am wonderful at taking my vitamins and supplements...I dont want osteoporosis or anemia or any other yucky stuff, that coulda been prevented by taking Vits...

Now on to drinking more water. !!!

Oh yeah !!! im down 70 lbs...woohoo....i just ordered more scrubs, in a size large....down from a 3 X
