6 weeks after

Dec 08, 2010

Up until last week, I was feeling pretty good since the middle of the second week.  Last week I started the most horrendous period.  I bled so much that I was afraid it wasn't a period at all.  I threw up after everything I ate for four days.  My surgeon's nurse told me it was probably a side efffect of my period.  I think I may be slightly anemic and dehydrated.  My 6 week follow up with the surgeon and dietician are Friday.  I am hopeful I can movemy diet  forward.  I am very anxious to be able to eat a bite of toast. 

Since the start of my liquid diet on October 11, I have lost over 40 pounds.  I can't complain about that progress, but I am anxious to be able to eat without pain and/or vomiting.  I am really lacking on my protein.  Unfortunately most of the protein subs are sweet and the sweet taste turns my stomach.  I miss my carbs and I am afraid of them.  I am anxious for toast, but at the same time I am scared of it! 

I need to be more consisent and agressive with my exercising.  This week I have been good for nothing with the vomiting and bleeding, but next week, I am certainly going to be pushing myself harder.

My husband got his surgery date.  February 17.  I can't wait for the start of our new more active life together.

Would I do it all over again if I had the chance?  I think so.
