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!!

That happened to be a couple of years ago. Then again in September. The clot ended up both times in my jugular. Coumadin for 6-9 months each time. I guess I have some knarly scar tissue from my IV, Central Vein Catheter and PICC lines. If you wake up with a serious pain in the neck, it travelled there.

Did your wrist hurt all the time or only when you pressed on the spot? My wrist has been painful for the last few days, but only if you press on it....like its tender from a bruise or something. Its right down from where I had my iv and I have been wondering about a blood clot. Hope you are doing better soon!!

      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
