So I am doing well in regards to weight loss. I am down 124 pounds in a little over 6 months post-op. However, the past three weeks I was feeling pain in my stomach. It did not matter if I ate, or did not. It hurt all the time. I went to the Doctors and they admitted me into the hospital where it was found I have a peptic ulcer. I am now on a ton of medication to try and heal it. And I am afraid to eat as I am not sure what will go down a bit easier then regular food. Ugh what a journey this has been..
Kind of Surreal!

So I weighed myself last night. I am officially under 300 pounds for the first time in 10 YEARS! I am at 298.5 pounds! I knew having the surgery, I would lose this weight between the tool and my efforts. But at the same time it feels surreal.. Guess it was hard for me to believe that I could actually do this!
Still doing good..

Well in two weeks I will be going for my 3 month checkup. So far, everything is going well. Although I am very tired as of late for some reason.. I have lost 83 pounds thus far, which is amazing! I just cannot wait to get down in the 100's! Some foods agree with me, while others I absolutely cannot handle or stand. Will post more as time goes on!
Surgery went textbook... Then some miner complications
Jun 01, 2013
So my RNY went textbook! However 2 days after being released I ended up having VERY loose stools..(If you get my meaning) so the DR sent me to the ER to get tested for C-DIFF. Which thankfully I did not have.. But my White Blood Cell Count was elevated. Was sent home but by the next morning I was VERY nauseated and started vomiting.. Mind you, I was on clear liquids and had not eaten in a week.. So by the time I went for my Post-Op the PA admitted me into the Hospital as I was not doing well at all.. I had lost 30 pds in a week, for a total of almost 70 pds Lost!! And my blood levels were VERY low.. Spent a few days in the Hospital and came out today feeling much better.. Hope there is no more problems! Fingers are crossed!
Today is the Day!!
