4 months post op
Hi everyone. Here is the latest report on my progress. I am now 4 months post op. Most things are going ok. My blood work at 3 mths came back showing a low iron level. So I take an iron supplement, vitamin C plus my Flinestone Chewables daily. I still use B-12 and have my asthma meds to. Hopefully with the weight coming off I will being to get away from the asthma problems. I am down 56 #'s (71 total from before surgery). I have lost over 24 inches from my body, with 5 of them in the chest area. (YUK) My energy level comes and goes. I find I am tired more often than not and part of that may just be the holidays and all that I have to do. I find that I want to munch between meals (even though I am not hungry). I have tried chewing gum and do my best to pick healthy snacks for in between. I have been able to eat a minature candy bar, but have to be cautious not to have more than 1. Still have not dumped, but have been sick to my stomach at times from my choices of food. I have been buying some new clothes, which makes me feel better, but I still find that shopping is hard. I hate spending the money on the new stuff knowing that I may not wear them long. I got a treadmill as an early Christmas gift from the hubby and hope to continue to use it alot. I also lost my wedding ring due to the shrinking in my fingers. I should have taped the ring when it started to get loose, but I did not so one day it was gone. My dear husband bought me another one, but it is not the same. That is about all that is new. Take care and God's Blessing to everyone on this journey. Merry Christmas.
