Day 9- things are looking up



Recommended Posts

Though still a little weak, my Tomato Soup last night , thinned with milk, made a detectable difference in my energy- at least as far as I can tell.

My doctor emailed to tell me to get a CBC drawn to make sure I am not anemic- though from everything I have read around here weakness is not that uncommon!

I got the CBC, came home and had some divine greek yogurt, thinned with milk. Yumm!!!

Then I got an email from my doctor saying my hematocrit went UP since surgery- it was 27 and is now 33 - 35 being normal.

And the kicker- "Great job on the Vitamins and iron!- keep it up!"

Uh- guess I had better start taking those... :P

He did say if the exhaustion persists see my GP before my 2 week followup, whichis on the 25th.

I had canned turkey chili liquified in the blender with Greek yogurt mixed in and it was HEAVEN! The Greek yogurt tastes just like cream cheese and chili and cream cheese is my favorite dip.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
