Hey guys has anyone else heard from Eva here lately just wanting to see how shes doing??

I am around just trying to get things leveled. I had a severe obstruction and was admitted with some "grave" looking labs according to the admitting Dr. I was ok for two days and am now starting to have symptoms of another obstruction since nothing will stay down. I am waiting til after Christmas to go back in and be readmitted since I was told the next step is a PICC line and parental nutrition for a few months and another dilation to stretch my opening and do a revision since the surgeons here see some pretty serious flaws with the way my surgery was done in Mexico. Last time it was the size of a pin hole. On the positive side I am down 55 lbs in 6 weeks so that is a plus. Hope everyone is doing well and Happy Holidays!!!

Eva, I am so sorry to hear this. I had an obstruction too so I know how horrible it is. You may be better off with them doing a revision. It may be better then all of the complications. Prayers for you!!!

Thank you! I am sorry you had one too they are horrid. I have no choice but to do a revision what they did down there is really a mess and needs to be fixed. Not looking forward to it since it will have to be open again since the Mexican surgeon oddly chose to do it open for no apparent reason but I agree it is better then all these complications.

Oh to the ladies...I got my monthly the day after surgery but nothing this month. Is anyone else experiencing this. I have accounted it to being because all the hormones with the rapid weight loss has thrown everything off.

Hey guys! Sorry it's been a while since I've been on, busy with life. But I'm down to 214 from 256 and my diet is back to normal! Still haven't tried sushi, but ham for Christmas was great! How is everyone else? Does anyone have any tips for keeping track on fitness pal? I never remember to log in and record my intake and etc. anywho, toodles xoxo

[worm2872 635]

Hi Amanda! Good to hear from you! Sounds like you are doing great!

Yes the ham was great. :-). I'm down to 238 from 262 DOS.

I log on mostly from my phone. In the beginning I set an alarm to make me rem to log. Now it's second nature.

Hi Everyone! It's been awhile. I'm sorry. I've been super busy and not able to check in as much. I'm glad to see you all are losing those pounds. I'm down to 248 from 274 on surgery day. I've seem to hit the stall everyone talks about. But I've started doing couch 2 5k, Zumba, and some weight training. I'm losing inches and close are getting smaller. Still struggling with this Protein and Water thing. if I meet one, can't meet the other bc it feels like my pouch can't hold anymore or anything.
