Hey every one! Just celebrated my one year mark Dec 7th, I cant believe it has been that long already!
I started out the journey at around 245, day of surgery I was 231, and on the one year mark Dec 7th I was 136! Almost 100 lbs
Every day it gets better, but have been battling with issues having to run to the bathroom, like when I have to go I have to go. There is no holding it lol
And of course SMELLY Smelly farts that soak into EVERYTHING!
Thru information I got from all the wonderful people on here I have managed to get it under control, alot less smell and alot less urgency to run to the bathroom.
I pasted my latest blood work below for all you vets to take a look and let me know what you think. For the most part I think everything looks good. Any of your advice, as always, is treasured and valued!
Thank you everyone for your help and advice!
