Enjoy the silence... Channeling a little Depeche Mode there. Well, long time no speak! I guess I am ready to be back. My work life is almost normal, and my personal life has finally settled down! I have energy to breathe! YAY!
Also of note, is I didn't have much to say. I mean things didn't seem to really be changing from one day to another. I can't say that I am wholly convinced that much has changed since the last time, but I do have some updates. Let's see... Well I officially wear a size 20, or do I? If I am shopping at Addition-Elle, I do; but if I am shopping in a regular store I wear something around the 22. However even that is getting slightly generous on me.
The hubby mentioned that my form is straighter. I am not sure what it means, but it was a nice and good thing when he said it. Oh. My. GOD! I have not mentioned this, I am going bald! Ok, not quite that bad, but hair has been falling out in chunks! No word of a lie! I had to chop off my hair because it had thinned so much. Kelly had warned me about this, and I didn't even panic when it started happening, But come on! Enough already. Yet it still keeps falling out. I can't even tail you how much liquid drainer we have gone through in the last 6 months. It's kinda embarrassing. And I still have so much left to loose. How am I going to ever get out of this with hair on my head??? Why can't it fall off my thighs, or armpits? Geez. I did mention this at my last doctors appointment. He wasn't concerened at all. He said that it happenend to men and women, however women tended to notice it more. Thanks. He prescribed omega 3 supplements. They are the size of a horse pill!
Also of note, I have been having these CRAZY cramps in my upper left hand abdominal region. I thought I was having gall stone attacks. However, as I discussed it with my doctor, he said that gall stones tend to be on the RIGHT side, and that he thought it might be some kind of gas problem. Gee, thanks. He prescribed Benefiber and sent me on my merry little way. Now these "attacks" had only happened a handful of times, but have increased in frequency and severity since then. I had one last night after eating a bowl of vanilla frozen yogurt. That's when Guy suggested that I might be lactose intolerant. Son of a BIT*H was all I could think. I took two expired lactaids that we had in the house (thanks mom), even though the bottle suggested that I take them right BEFORE eating. The pain went away shortly there after. Of course, I am not convinced. I mean I love dairy! It is one of my go to foods ever since I have had this surgery. It is not too solid and therefore goes down nicely without blocking, it is a protein and well, yummy. So after telling everyone at lunch today that I suspected I was lactose intolerant, I thought I would have some honey nut cheerios with about 1/3 cup of milk. It's not that much anyways and last week I had 1/2 cup of yogurt and it only hurt a little. Well as it turns out, I was in so much pain, I couldn't breath properly and I broke out in cold sweats. Huh, maybe I do have a problem. So, I just got home from loblaws. On the advice of my sister, I purchased almond mild for my am protein shake and soy yogurt (who knows, it might be good). I also grabbed a soy nice coffee beverage.
I don't know if I can eat stuff that has been cooked with dairy, or to what extent this "issue" goes, but I won't take chances for now. Goodbye delicious dairy products. I loved you so! I do hope to meet you again... soon!
