I’m not sure how good this is, so I wanted to post it and see. Surgery was 12/26/19 weighed 1/6/20
I lost 12.5 pounds. This is with my leg broken and my ankle sprained really bad. I got to move up to my next round on my diet ❤️. So happy about that because that means I can have my protein that I love and sugar free pudding. I’m so happy about the diet.

That is all I drink. I am so stuck on my water lol. I have flavored water that has zero sugar and has been approved by my doctor, he chuckled when I showed him because it was zero sugar and I was still asking and of course my protein shakes which he recommended now. I am on it. I guess I panic so much because of having the gastric sleeve last time. I do not want to fail. I want to make myself proud this time. My husband is a big supporter too, he watches everything and he brings me my waters before he leaves for work and everything. He knows what it means to me.
 
Right now I am wheelchair bound and it is hard I know but the right diet and there are exercises you do sitting or even laying. They got me do alot now. I went from 407 on Christmas to 369 on the 3rd of January. It depends on how you keep at it. I refuse to be pushed in my wheel chair. I even try to cook and clean even with the muscle weakness I will not lay down and take it. You may broke your leg but there is still other things to do as well.

Trust me I am and I’m also in a wheelchair because they don’t want me bearing weight on either leg. I almost pass out everytime I get up, but I haven’t let that stop me. I wheel myself around and I don’t have any ramps in my house. I pull myself up on everything. My house has been transformed for me to be able to do things on my own. Tonight though I started screaming and crying because I almost passed out again while pulling myself on my toilet. I couldn’t hold my own weight and got extremely dizzy. My husband and son came running. My son grabbed my Bp cuff. It was so low. My husband helped me get on the toilet and after I just sat there for a few and got back into my chair. I refused to let him push me back to my bed and help me into it. I retook it and it was high that time and my pulse was really high. I almost ended back up at the hospital, but they don’t do anything, but give me fluids and keep me in over night refusing to give me my meds and feed me, so I decided to stay home. I don’t just lay around, I follow everyone everywhere. I’m in so much pain all the time, but I haven’t let that get me down. It’s the bp that has messed with me.
congratulations on your weight loss!!

I had my surgery Dec 26th. My surgeon is not saying anything about it. He stays out of all of my problems like that. I don’t know why, you would think he would be more concerned. He just giggled and said what did you do to yourself? And we talked about the fact that I couldn’t transfer to his hospital. He said never give up to transfer there, but he has no pull after surgery unless it’s related to surgery

Have you talked to your doctor about having an IV put into your arm with saline bags that you can keep at home? I don't know what I'm talking about here exactly, except for the fact that my brother had a permanent IV line and PICC line and feeding tube when he was very far gone. However this is also a possibility for people who have a chronic problem with low blood pressure or diabetes

Girl I have had my best friend ask me this. She’s so upset with what keeps happening to me.i I am seeing my new physician and going to see what he says. I’m not easy to stick so they try so hard not to put a IV in me. You should have seen my hand and arms after my ER visit. My hand alone was one gigantic bruise. My husband could tell you the horror stories we have been through over me and the passing out or just getting extremely dizzy. I haven’t drove in over a year and a half. I have a heart monitor called a loop monitor implanted into my chest to see if it’s my heart because of my heart problems. They said there was no activity when they checked it this time. I have it for three years. I don’t know why they don’t send someone out or give me something to check my sugar every time! It’s driving us crazy. I tried to attach three pictures of my leg and ankle as it’s healing, but it’s saying there to big.
