1 Month Update

Yikes it's been awhile! I'm at my summer camp job so it's early morning and late nights, not to mention spotty wifi. Which equals limited internet access. Here's the update: Weight loss- 17 (plus the 15lbs of water weight post op) It's not as high as would have hoped, but it's more than I've lost in a while so yay! Diet: it'**** or miss. Some days my stomach is like "awh naaawh" so I stick with fluids. But I'm able to handle most all of my puréed food. I am struggling to get all my protein in as shakes make me nasueas. I've been mixing isopure into everything! Praising the Lord that I advance to real foods on Tuesday. Complications: only complication is a recurrent UTI. I'm starting my third round of antibiotics tomorrow. Fingers crossed it will finally clear up. Incinsions: every once in a while the muscle underneath will hurt. This is my warning that I'm working myself too hard and need to back off. The scars themselves look great! Excercise: I have a very physically demanding job so no additional excercise. Vitimins: most are super easy to take, but man I have to give myself a freaking pep talk to take my multi. So big and so unpleasant. Thinking about using patches for a bit while I'm at camp and have a wonky schedule. Period: it's been a no show so far. I'm only about a week late, so not worried yet. And last but not least Constipation: ugh it's so bad. I'm going maybe once a week. Just bought some milk of mag to help with that.

Sounds like you're doing great! Keep it up.
