Hi, long time no speak, just wondering how you were getting on with the c.diff bug and your wounds and to see if everything is getting better for you xx

Hello Bariatric Op - I actually ended up on a second round of antibiotics but, that time she put me on Florastor to help get the good bacteria built up. It worked, thank goodness! I've been off the antibiotics now for ...hmm...about 3 weeks and everything seems good. My weightloss has slowed down tremediously though. My metabolism is shot and has been for years. I'm hoping it will pick up soon! I just got back from Disney in Florida...walked about 10 miles a day, did my best with Protein and didn't eat any junk yet gained weight. UGH!!!! So ticked. Although I can tell I'm retaining Fluid it still stinks knowing I passed on all the fatty foods etc while there. OH well....I know this works and gotta kick up my exercise and fluids. Back to work on Monday...back to the grind of meeting all the nutritional things. How are you doing?

That really sucks, I'm guessing they checked your thyroid? X

I'm feeling better but no where near fixed, they had to dig the port and mesh out of my stomach wall as my surgeon said it was like concrete! But hay.. At least it's gone now xx

hello joyaskins34...yup it was and I pray I don't get it again. It's finally gone for me but, took two rounds of antibiotics and florastor to get rid of it. Hope you're mom is doing better!
