Guest guest Posted November 30, 2000 Report Share Posted November 30, 2000 Yesterday was 2 months since my surgery. I feel really good except for this dammmmm gas. I think for one, milk causes it and I switched to Lactate Free milk. That seemed to help but it is not as good as regular milk so I don't drink as much. But yesterday and today, with no milk in a couple days, I am so gassy that I must stay in the house alone. Maybe it is that I ate in a German restaurant in Lake Lure or Chimney Rock yesterday. Knockwurst, bratwurst, sauerkraut, etc. Yum. I was 233 at clinic before surgery. I am now 203. I have been below 210 for about a month now. Slow but I sure hope sure. My waist measurement was 45 " at clinic and is STILL 45 " . I have lost a lot in legs, arms, neck and even feet and hands. But nothing in my waist. Wish me luck that I won't look like a beach ball with sticks for legs and arms some day. I feel ok. My blood sugar is hovering between 85 and 90. It was about 350 before the surgery and I am taking no meds, nor am I particulary watching my diet for diabetes purposes. I also have had NO reflux or indigestion. No nausea since surgery. Just gas and gas and gas and gas. I feel dirty reading some of the posts on the other lists. Some people just don't have a life if all they want to do is see how ugly and belligerant (sp) they can be and keep SOMETHING stirred up. I do not know as yet if I will be at the Christmas party, but that would be such a wonderful time to see you guys in person. When I was in Durham for surgery, I didn't even get to know my littermates since I was so ill. Good luck to all you pre-ops on your wonderful journey.
