life goes on
Hi everyone, I used to come to OH every day but now its just once in a while. I am over 2 years out and life is pretty much normal. I do have a problem with NOT gaining weight, my weight remains around 150 no matter how or what I eat. this could be good and also could be bad.
I recently went on vacation, we drove to Wyoming and it took two days to get there and there is really no way to eat healthy at fast food and I really hated to order what I could not eat... but I did say to myself... I AM ON VACATION and I did not worry about having left overs that I could not take with me.
Before I left I had to have iron treatments because my iron was way too low, it should be between 50 and 170 and mine was only 27! after the 5 treatments I did feel much better and was able to enjoy my sons visits while he was on leave before he was deployed to Japan for two years and then I was able to enjoy my long trip to Wyoming to see my family, we live in different states so we only write or call each other, my sister has two boys that I had never met, ages 6 and 3...
anyway, life is pretty much normal. I don't weigh everyday and its just a little too hot to do anything outside so I am using my elliptical machine. I go in for my labs again next month and see how everything is doing including my iron. hopefully its up where it belongs.
I may have to have some more surgery in the future, for some reason, the area where the doctor placed the mesh for the hernia is really really hard and painful at times, I had a cat scan and will get those results at my next appointment but my doctor did say when he went in to remove my gallbladder, there was a lot of scar tissue! I have had a lot of surgeries NOT related to my WLS and I guess my body is just tired.
