So I see everyone's been quite active here since I was around last.
I'm right in the middle of student teaching at the high school; career change at 47 (yeah I know, am I nuts!?!?) but I really like it for the most part. Planning every day and college course work keeps me occupied in the off hours from actual teaching, usually until late at night, hence my absence.
So to update my progress:
I no longer own ANY of my original clothes save for socks and shoes. I never would have thought I would have the problem of clothes getting too big so fast. I'm burning through the sizes I've gotten at the thrift.
So far I've lost a total of 190# from a high of 419 back in Nov of last year. Most days I feel way too skinny.
Eating has mostly normalized but many days I find I'm having to salvage protein at the end of the day because I just can't get it in during the day. Still make almost 90 gm /day though on many days.
The smell from my bowels still stupefies me (and anyone else within a 20' radius). I've mostly got it down to what foods cause it but damn, it often gets so bad I'm sure it would even gag a maggot.
Otherwise, things are going well for the most part, except one thing that has started to crop up.....
I have noticed and had 2 family members recently comment on a look of a malnourished "bloated" stomach. It kind of sits up higher than where my normal dunlap was. It definitely seems to be there more than it's not lately and I'm not so sure it's food or gas related. BM's are normal (well DS'er kind of normal) based on input, gas as well. They don't seem to reduce with farting either too much.
So I'm wondering if this is just another part of the process of rearranging things internally.
Has anyone else seen this?
