The Good...the bad...and the ugly...

[Guest guest]

Hey everybody,

Stormy reminded me that I had not given and update in a while. So, wanna hear

it? Here is. I am ten weeks post op today. At eight weeks post op I had lost

40 pounds. I don't have any major problems, but I have moderate to severe

nausea EVERYDAY. I am wearing a transdermal scopolamine patch: I have taken

Compazine shots, and I take phenergan as needed. It feels like morning

sickness. I vomit at least a couple of time a week. some times its from

water. There seems to be no pattern. Dr R has suggested I use an estrogen

patch, but I am going to tough it out a little longer. I don't want the side

effects.

So, basically, I am still on a soft diet because I can't seem to tolerate

solids very well. My energy is still pretty high, as I exercise maniacally

every day. I do aerobic for and hour and a half five days a week, abs

everyday, and weight training alternating upper and lower body. I am not

really flabby, but I still have a poochie lower abdomen. I started at a size

20/22. Currently I am a 16/18. I look NORMAL now. I have a very curvy figure

and it's back after two years of hiding. I have skinny ankles and my collar

bones are protruding. My face is heart shaped instead of round and pie

shaped. I didn't have any medical problems before surgery. But, husband says

I don't snore anymore. The loss is very noticeable and men are JOCKIN me big

time. What animals! LOL They seem to lose their minds over a small waist and

ghetto butt.

I would have the surgery 100 times over despite this temperamental tummy. I

am still on carafate and prevacid as well. So, that's it until the end of the

month.

Thanks for the update. I am so sorry about the nausea. It must be

very frustrating for you. I hope it resolves soon. You weight loss

is great!
