Hi ,

I surely hope that will not be the case for you. Keep trying to get

those fluids down! I have been having brief bouts of dizzy spells

yesterday and today which I am sure is from my lack of vitamins and

diet. I go in Saturday for a blood test to see what's going on. I

am sure it has something to do with my low iron count. I was

bordeline anemic before surgery and seem to get nauseated when I try

to take the iron tablets that I was taking pre-op. So we will see

what the good ole doc says. I am sure I will be just fine!

I will keep you in my thoughts!

struggling with the calorie intake, despite what I eat the weight

still comes off. And if it continues we will have to do more test

and possibly a tube! Which I have totally refused.

This may sound strange but I came out of the surgery anemic. My surgeon doesn't

know if I was anemic before the surgery or if the surgery caused it. He asked if

i had notcied that I was anemic prior to the surgery I said no. He also asked

if I had been feeling tired, run down etc before the surgery and I said yes, and

that's the signs of anemia. I was aksed why I didn't act on this and see my Dr

but I explained to him that my grandmother who I was very close to had recently

passed away and i had just started a new job working in a children's dasy

nursery so I thaught it was down to that.

Any way enough rambling LOL I have been on iron medications since the surgery

and my iron levels still aren't picking up which is a concern for us right now

as it should be picking up without the iron medication (tablets are a lot better

than liquid). He will run further tests this week while i'm in hospital.

I am drinking a lot of fluids right now but they still don't keep the weight on,

so we will see. Though I am totally against any kind of tube especially a

feeding tube down my nose.
