1 month post-op report

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone!!

Today is exactly one month foe me - 23 pounds gone!! I still can't

see it yet. It's a little frustrating, but I know it will come soon

enough.

For some reason I have gotten sick twice today wheen I ate. I didn't

eat anything out of the ordinary - I mean, nothing I haven't eaten

many times before in the last four weeks. Today is the only time

I've thrown up with the exception of the night after surgery when I

swallowed too much water when taking a pill. This happen to anyone

else?

Dr. R. said that I needed to eat and drink more to get rid of the

fatigue. People were statring to tell me I looked pale and sickly.

I was so tired all of the time. So I eat and drink a little more

( that's actually hard to do - who knew????!!!) I feel and look

better, although I am still tired a lot - but not like beefore.

I am still battling nausea though. It's almost like fake morning

sickness. I had to go off of the pill and the surgery messed with my

hormones as well. Any ideas about that?

Everything else seems to be going well, and of course theses little

problems are well worth the trouble. I don't want to scare anyone

off - it's all part of the learning process you go through after this

surgery.

If anyone is trying to e-mail me at home - sorry I haven't answered -

it's all screwed up and I have to get someone to help me start over

with my computer. I'll get back on eventually. You can get me at

work though - lgattozzi@... - I'm there ALL the time !!!

Good luck to all of those in the process of preparing and all of us

on the other side (never thought I would be able to say that!!)

Flo? You out there - how ya doin'?
