APPOINTMENT W/ DR BYRNE - EXHAUSTION
SEEMS I MAY HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE EXHAUSTION AT LEAST FOR A COUPLE MONTHS UNTIL HE DOES MY 6 MONTHS LABS IN EARLY MAY. HE SAID THAT HE'S EXHAUSTED AS WELL SO WE WERE BOTH HAPPY THAT SOMEONE ELSE WAS SUFFERING LIKE WE WERE! MISERY LOVES COMPANY, AS THEY SAY!
HE DOESN'T THINK IT'S LOW IRON AS MY PERIODS ARE REGULAR & NORMAL ... NOT HEAVY LIKE WHEN I WAS YOUNGER.
HE WANTS ME TO GO BACK ON MY CPAP MACHINE AT NIGHT FOR A WHILE UNTIL I LOSE MORE WEIGHT ... HE THINKS THAT MIGHT HELP SOME.
BUT, HAVING INTERRUPTED SLEEP & WITH THE STRESS OF CARING FOR AN AILING PARENT ALONG WITH EVERYTHING ELSE NICK & I ARE INVOLVED WITH, AS WELL AS WHAT OUR BODIES GO THROUGH FROM THE SURGERY & LOSING WEIGHT, THIS MAY JUST BE SOMETHING I'LL HAVE TO DEAL WITH FOR A WHILE.
IT HAS GOTTEN A TEENY BIT LESS SEVERE SINCE I'VE BEGUN THE BETTER QUALITY VITAMINS/MINERALS, SO "THANK YOU" TO ALL OF YOU WHO SUGGESTED THAT I GO ON SUPPLEMENTS FORMULATED JUST FOR WLS PATIENTS. GOOD ADVICE!!!!!!
I'M STILL TAKING OPTISOURCE (FROM WALGREENS) 4 TIMES A DAY, & WHEN I'VE USED THEM UP, I'LL TRY VISTA VITAMINS FROM BARIATRICEATING.COM FOR THE NEXT MONTH TO SEE WHICH GIVES ME MORE ENERGY.
SO, FOR Y'ALL WHO ARE AT A LOSS OF ENERGY, IT MAY JUST BE "NORMAL" FOR THE TIME BEING. BE SURE TO CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR/SURGEON JUST TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE.
GOD BLESS DAWN & NICK
PS: HE WAS SURPRISED THAT MY HEART CONDITION HASN'T RESPONDED BETTER TO MY WEIGHT LOSS. HE THOUGHT I'D BE ON LESS HEART MEDICATIONS BY NOW ... THE HEAVY DOSES ARE ANOTHER THING THAT WILL TIRE ME OUT.
