Hi All! Finally able to give an update! I will be 8 weeks out on 3/14, and within the last week and a 1/2 or so have gotten some energy back. I would say I am about 87% almost back to feeling "normal". Man, the recovery was something else. I had such a hard time keeping things down including hydrating things. Luckily I did not have to go to the ER, but there was a point where I thought I might need to go. I turned into some kind of dry heaving monster around week 3 and smells were very annoying to me making me sick for no reason. I told my Mom NO gum chewing allowed lol, the mint smell was killing me. She thinks it's funny, but luckily she is nice enough to indulge me. Also had to get rid of my vanilla scented hand soap...bleh! Around week 6 however, I was able to get down a Premier protein shake. It was very surprising as I drank the whole thing and didn't feel full or anything. Generally I wasn't a big fan of these types of drinks either..chalkiness etc. but it went down. I felt so alive all of a sudden, able to move around got a bit of color back in my face. I continued to try to keep drinking the shakes and was able to start eating some meats. I felt so fortified! And thus far it has just continued to get better. As of this week, I've been able to eat pretty normal- small amounts of course, but no adverse reactions. Been keeping it high protein for the most part and just excited to get back to being me! I've been running around in a busted wig and sans makeup cause I just could not expend the energy lol. I'm such a vain person too so it's been a mind-f lol. Maybe I'll get it together next week lol, but for now I'm glad I work with people that understand my haggardness. Now on to getting back to these vitamins. I started back today on my multi and plan to work them back in as the days go on. So far so good on the multi today. Anyway, missed coming onto the site as it was a chore to get on any of my electronic devices to type or do anything, but sheeeeee's back!
