I'm still around. It's real uncomfortable for me to sit in our office on the computer so I don't do it as often as I used to, and should. Things are progressing. I had a dr's appt on 3 Oct, and I was down to 172. He put me on stage 3 of his diet, modified of course for me... Pureed cooked veggies, fruit and ground meats. I've become intolerant to dairy, I'm unsure if it's the lactose or not (I'll buy some lactose free milk this week to see) except for yogurt, I still eat one to two of those a day. I had some Chicken breast and corn on Sunday night!
That's the first REAL FOOD I've had since March. Eric and I are planning on having professional portraits done next week so I had do go and buy a couple of new blouses (size 16 not 26 anymore)... I still haven't found pants that I like (never the less know what size to wear). I also had to break down and buy a new bra. I've gone from a 46 DDD to 40 D. I'm okay with that though, some women hate that they loose their breast size, but mine were way too big to begin with. I've had some problems eating fish in the last day or two, I know I'm not getting enough protein in, but I'm trying. I have my next appt with dr on 31 Oct for follow up and prolly some blood work. I'm so weak still, I can hardly do anything!!!! I fixed Eric a sandwich the other day and almost had to take a nap afterward. But that next day I made it half way around our block (big country size blocks). Had to cut across someone's back yard and cross a water filled ditch to get to my back yard but still I made it.
Other than that things are looking up. The endoscope I had done in late Sept showed the stomach pouch to be healing well from the inside, no bulges, no fistulas (GREAT NEWS!) so maybe the revision was the answer to my problems this entire time.
TTFN & Hugs to all,
