Well, my surgeon said.....

Thank you to Channan for the email asking me what my surgeon said. I love you girl!! Anyway, basically, he said that it could take a little while for all the yucky stuff from my sludgy gallbladder to get out of the ducts and out of my system. If it's not better in 2 weeks, I will have a lower GI. But it's already getting better, so I think I am finally on the mend. Still can't eat much, but I am trying to drink lotsa water and make sure I get my vitamins. For once I do NOT want to lose any more weight. I am looking gaunt to myself!! And the nurse said that I prolly have 10 pounds of excess skin, so that would put me at weighing 135. That's too skinny for me. Maybe I will quit smoking....my excuse has always been that I don't want to gain weight! No more excuses (but I'm so stressed ugh!) OMG, I almost forgot-Andrea- I got your sweet email the other day too----I was just passing through real quickly at the time and just now remembered! Thanks so much sweets!!

Michele- Glad to hear you are feeling a little bit better. We are soooo worried about you. Try to get a protein shake in-- or at least some milk. Love you sweetie. Andrea

Michele, I sure hope that's what it is. That would be the easiest "fix" possible. Don't worry about losing too much weight. Typically, most wls patients end up gaining about 10% back. For you, this might not be a bad thing. 135 is indeed quite slender! (avoiding the word...skinny) C

just wanted to tell ya - im here - listenin - sending love.... nan
