Update on my health status

So, most of you know that I was recently diagnosed with a DVT (blood clot in my right leg).  but I had an ultrasound yesterday, and it has largely cleared.  I have been on coumadin (thankfully, the Dr. took me off the lovenox injections) and I am doing well.  This is all unrelated to my GBP - I had varicose vein surgery and that's what started this issue.  In any case, they feel that it should be all cleared up inside of a month.

Hurray!

That means that I may yet get my panniculectomy this year!  I'll be a model patient, I promise!

Yay - I came here specifically to post to you to see what was up - and viola'!!!!  A post from you.

So happy for you - and I'll fingers crossed that you get your panniculectomy in the near future!!!

Suzy - I wonder if your problems with protein shakes mean possibly that you are lactose intolerant.  I can't tolerate the shakes at all.  For some reason, the bars aren't a problem, but those shakes make me sick, and it's because I'm terribly lactose intolerant.  Soy for me, all the way!  Tho it makes me sad, because I love milk  :-(    Anyway, I have to get my protein from food sources, and that's the way my doc wanted it anyway.  It's possible to succeed at this without a single protein shake.  I did!

Nah, not lactose intolerant.  I can drink milk just fine.  It's just once I add the Protein Powder   LOL


I think I am starting to feel better - today I was a bit nauseous, but not as bad.  I really would rather just get my protein from food - but I can't eat enough to do that???  so what the heck Do I do?  I did order some of that protein bread.

Congrats Kathy!

Glad things are clearing up!  and be patient you will be able to get your panni in a while...:)
all good

YEA!!!I knew you'd be OK! So glad to hear though and I know you're really happy.  Thanks for letting us know....I've been thinking about you.
