Three month follow-up

Today I went for my three month follow-up. Tuesday will actually be three months. They didn't do blood work or anything. Just asked questions and all. I have to see the NUT soon for a follow-up. I Go back at six months and they will do labs. I did finally get the word that I did have a small stricture from when I had my endoscopy. They didn't have the notes when I went in last month. All looks fairly good right now. I am feeling better although she ( the PA) said I am not eating enough calories and all. I am working on that slow but sure. I haven't had but one monthly cycle since surgery....not sure about that one. She said it is not real common but happens. I guess my body will regulate eventually....or maybe I will just go through early menapause and be done with it.....lol. I just wish we could turn it off when we are done having children anyhow....lol. Anyhow, I have lost right about 45 pounds right now. I guess that isn't too bad. I am pleased since it averages about 15 per month. I know it will not stay that way forever but I am happy right now and thankful that I can keep food down. It is much better than before. Lisa

Hey Lisa!  Glad to hear that you are doing well and things are going better for you now!  Take care and keep on keepin' on!

Hugs, Donna

 

>LOL.  I know what you mean... it's nice to be able to eat again without feeling nauseous isn't it?  You're doing great!  Keep up the good work.

Hi Lisa! 

Glad to hear everything's going well.  After trying for so long to lose weight, hearing a Dr tell you that you need more calories has to be music to your ears!  :) 

Hey Lisa -

Congrats on your good report. It sounds like you are doing great. I know that you have worried that you weren't losing "fast enough" ... if it makes you feel any better, you and I are losing at almost the same rate ... actually, you might be losing just a bit quicker.

I'm glad that things are so much better than before. I'm sure it will only continue to get better.

Hope all has calmed down at home.

All the best my friend.

Congratulations on a good report Lisa.  45 pounds in 3 months is fabulous!  I wasn't eating enough calories either, caused me to stall all the time.  I'm doing better now.  Keep walking, watching your protein,  and drinking (water ) , and you'll be fine.   Take care. Ellen

You're doing great. Let us know how it goes, lady. xoxo Mare

That sounds like a good 3-month report! Glad to hear you are doing well and congrats on the 45 pounds lost so far!! Keep up the good work!

Lisa,

Thank for sharing the encouraging news. Sounds like you are doing great. 45 lbs is awesome...fantastic...wonderful. No way I could ever even lose 10 lbs or so in that little bit of time without my surgery. I like to try and imagine what I would look like if I gained as much as I've lost.

It ain't pretty!

I'm real happy for you. Keep it up!

Karen
