Bouncing back!!!!
Hey all. I saw my local doc today - my labs from last week were PERFECT - PRISTINE - EXCELLENT. Well - ok - my Hgb is 117 - but hey - it was 106 post-op - and I haven't been back on my Palafer yet. So needless to say - I'm really pleased. My second belly button is all healed up - I have gained 5 lbs - eating well - and getting some of my get up and go back. Have started walking again. I SO love the fall. And - I'm going back to work on October 12th. FINALLY. It's been a long road - and I'm so needing things to be NORMAL again. And the MRSA swabs that Lise did when I saw Dr. B. on Sept 14th were all negative. I have stopped taking my arthrotec altogether. A big achievement - before my RNY I took it twice daily and then took other NSAIDS as well. I decreased it to once daily last fall - and now stopped it altogether. So therefore I no longer need to take Losec. I'm starting Palafer every second day to see how it goes - it's SO constipating
- but it's the best supplement as far as iron goes. And the B12, Calcium and Centrum Forte of course - as usual- never stopped taking them. I don't however take Calcium Citrate - I couldn't tolerate it at all - so have settled for the Equate sugar free calcium chews. Seem to do the job fine. Today was a good day. Goodnite everyone!PS - I updated my ticker - the 5 lb weight gain puts my BMI at 25.1 - overweight. Hmmm - so I think I'd like to drop one of those pounds and get my BMI back to 24.9- so I'll just be "normal". Just mind games isn't it?
