4 months post op

Apr 29, 2013

Well it's been 4 months and I feel great.  I'm down 86lbs. I'm moving around easier, but still find myself tired. I'm sure that will change once I get active.  Summer is coming and I'll be in my pool doing aerobics or even just running in place.

At my 3 months follow up with Dr. Pohl he said the only level that was low was B-12. Which is okay with me since I haven't really been taking the vitamins like I should.  I guess I've been eating enough things with calcium to keep my level ok.  I've been eating a lot of protein bars... they have lots of vitamins and minerals in them too so... they are a staple in my diet.

To day I can eat without hardly any issues... Shrimp, Cheese, hamburg, pasta (in sm amounts), yogurt, jellow, sf puddings, protein shakes and protein bars.  Chicken I struggle with unless it is extremely moist and I cut it up very small.  I'll be eating lost of fish this summer, I think.

I feel good overall. I have myself on a regimen of stool softeners and Senokot to keep things moving along so I don't have pain.  It seems to be really working well for me.  

I'm happy to say I haven't had any complications.  I know there's always a chance down the road but I'm seeing Dr. Pohl every 3 months and he's only a call away if something happens.

I also started counseling. Her name is Lisa Sparks and she's a social worker.  She's in North Smithfield.  I've seen her twice so far.  Last visit we did the geonagram.  Pretty much everything came out during that.  I wanted it to come out early cuz I really think that my eating habits began after fuckhead molested me.  Seems like I gained a massive amount of weight in a year or so.  I'm dealing with feelings of anger towards my parents for not protecting me.  I'm dealing with intimacy issues which affect my marriage.  Thankfully my DH doesn't have a high libido.  That could cause problems. But at this point he's okay.  He knows about fuckhead and what he did and how it's affected me.  I love my husband more than life.  He the most wonderful, loving, understanding and empathetic person I know.  Towards me he is.  

Well that's it for now.  I'm really rather tired.  I'm gonna get a popsicle and go lay down.  :)
