Hello All!
Just wanted to give you guys a small update as to how things are going following my recent health issues.
As some of you are aware, about a month and a half ago, I underwent bariatric surgery (specifically the gastric sleeve) which serves as a tool to help me lose weight which is something I have struggled with for quite a while. Now with the different structure of my stomach and the different hormone and whatnot levels in my body, some complications were bound to arise and they did, specifically nausea and vomiting.
Now it’s nothing too serious, it was to be expected and today I spent most of my afternoon in a local clinic on an IV drip to treat my dehydration. It seems that while I was following my assigned plan of at least 64-96oz of water a day, the constant vomit meant little to none of that was retained and left me severely dehydrated to the point of having no appetite, dizziness, and sometimes even losing vision.
That being said, the IV drip combined with a shot to treat the nausea have already made me feel immensely better, so much so that my appetite has returned and I am now back on my diet plan, all of which is good news! I will still be taking some time off to make sure I don’t slip back into dehydration and don’t need to go on another IV, just wanted to get you guys an update so that I don’t seem too distant or make you guys think I’m still in trouble.
Like my doctor told me at the start of this, it’ll be a rough thing at times, but you bounce back and I’m happy to be in that part of the process now!
