Well the news is i am getting better. Although i am not getting enough protein. I usually only drink breakfast, and eat lunch, but have not been in the mood for dinner. Kelly says big no, no. I am not getting enough protein to help my body heal. It could be why i am so tired all the time also.?? But my o2 was good at 96, and my blood pressure was 120/77, which is good also. I am down to 149lbs today according to my scale at home.
I do feel better then last week, but i am still short on breath, and very fatigued. So i went to GNC and got some Isopure 0 carb drinks, hopefully that will add some protein, and energy. I was out and about today since 11:00 am, for me it was a long day. Still not sure how things are going to go come Tuesday Nov 1st when i go back to work. I may have to go back to taking naps in my car on my breaks. I do have a hard time sitting in an office type chair for too long, so that may be a problem also, as that is all i do it still all day. I guess we will see how things go.
I got a letter from insurance saying the assistant surgeon on my first surgery was not in network so they are not paying the $1000.00 bill, so i am not sure IF there is any thing i can do about that. Any suggestions??? I have not worked since Oct 4th, so no work, no money.....
I do think i have some deppression going on, as i cry at the drop of a hat, Today while visiting with Dr. Chae i prolly seemed like a blubbering idiot. But i just told him i want to be "normal" again, I tole him that i felt better before WLS, and fatter. I dont want to be like this forever. He and Kelly both re-assured me, as well as many of you fine people here have that it will pass, and soon i will feel GREAT! Gawd i hope so...SOON!
anyway i just wanted to update everyone.
