Weight Loss/Maintenance

I have to really, really concentrate on my protein.

I got sick last winter (not wls related) and wasn't eating properly. No appetite etc. My nutritional status went all to hell and I got even more sick!
Fast forward to today... I am on Total Parenteral Nutritional feeding through a PICC line in my left arm and have been since May 31st.
My system is so out of whack that I'm really struggling to get myself back on track.

Now there are many who would say it's because of the WLS that this happened. NO, it's partially due to the WLS that it happened but mostly because I didn't recognize the signs of malnutrition. Had I noticed it would never have come to this.

I'm hoping to lose the PICC soon as I have my son's wedding to go to in California. We're flying out there on the 18th. It's been a shitty year for me health wise. During a CAT scan to find out why I had a persistent cough they found a pulmonary embolism and took me to hospital right away. A full 7 days of bed rest with bathroom privileges if you please.
Now I have to take xarelto a blood thinner which has contributed to other issues oy!
A colonoscopy was done on Tuesday last to try to find the source of a GI Bleed.

ack, ..sorry I got carried away.

Do stick with it Rox .. go for the Sleeve Gastrectomy if that's what you and your Dr decide is good for you. Ask to see a nutritionist to help you over this rough spot.

best wishes always.

I'm here for ya
