Guest guest Posted June 21, 2001 Report Share Posted June 21, 2001 Today is 9 mo for me. I am down 107 lbs. I am exercising at curves and or walking several times weekly. I can not eat beef at all. The last time I tried and it was just 2 weeks ago I was in severe abdominal pain for about 4 days. I had sudden attacks of nausea and immediately began to throw up. Nothing much came up but the episodes were quite violent and sudden. I vomited about 6 times in on day. This was the first time for me to be nauseated and vomit since my surgery. It was not until the next day that I got sick. All of my abdomen from my navel to my ribs and from one side to the other was very tender and sore. It felt like the the inside of my stomach and upper intestines were raw. I was afraid I was going to end up in the ER and probably should have I could not drink or eat without pain and spasms. Of course Dr. R was out of town and my Dr was also out of town. So I just started my carafate, Mylanta, sipped fluids and waited it out. It did cool down after 4 days. I will not be eating any more beef!!!!! I am overall very happy with my surgery. All my labs are good except my iron is very low hemoglobin is 9.1 and the ferritin portion of my blood was 5. I am taking iron Hemocyte 325mg 3 x a day. I am hoping this will get my into a better range. My energy had really gone bye bye. I may be beginning to improve a little or my body is adjusting to it. My GYN also put me on some hormones and I am just sweating it out to see if it causes me to gain wt. By the was I have very little estrogen left. I am now supposed to be (by the blood work) menopausal. But still having those irregular monthly things. I am almost 47 in case someone is wondering.
