In Hospital Unexpectedly



Recommended Posts

My wrist was really bothering me the last few days. Today I woke up and my arm was swollen from the elbow to my fingers. Went to Doctors and they did xrays and an ultrasound. Turns out I have a blood clot in my wrist that they think was caused by the I.V. from my surgery two weeks ago. So now they are pumping me full of anti inflamitories and blood thinners.... The good news is I've lost 32 lbs in two weeks!!

I have some weird knot in my wrist just south of where the IV was in my hand. I go to the doc thurs. I sure hope it's not a clot! Scary!

I'm so glad that you got in and got care for the blood clot. How scary for you. Congrats on your weight loss. While you were in the hospital did you receive shots in your stomach several times a day for clots?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
