Pain, Potassium and Final Phentermine Weigh-In

Dear Baby,

A week and a half ago Daddy took me to ER for abdominal pain. 6 hours later I was sent home with pain meds and an undetermined diagnosis for reason of pain but my potassium level was really low (3.1 when avg is 3.5).

Went on to take the given supplements for potassium and felt better. As soon as they were gone the pain returned. Quickly got an OTC supplement to see if it would help and since it's roughly 1/3 the dose, it's has subdued thing and finally was able to get up doctor today.

Well since I finished Phentermine this last weekend, this would be the final weigh in. I was so happy to see the number on the scale as it showed a 24 lb loss in the three months I was on Phentermine which has brought me to a total of 45 lbs lost!

I am so excited to be going in the right direction and am determined to keep going to be a happier and healthier person and future mama!

Love Always,
Future Baby Mama

Two Months In...

Dear Baby,

I've now been on Phentermine for two months. I started this process with nearly 20 extra pounds on my body!

You read that right, as of today I have lost 19.6 lbs in two months. I couldn't be happier. I'm more active than I have been in ages and my clothes are falling off of me despite just buying them a few months back.

Got news from Dr. Boo that daddy will be retested in a month or so. Depending on the results of that test will tell us if IUI will work for us. The expense of IVF isn't in the cards right now so all hope and prayers go out.

We love you so much!

Love,

Future Baby Mama

The Waiting Game

Dear Baby,

It's been awhile since I've had anything to add to this story. I still don't have much.

I have now fully been off Depakote ER for 10 days. I'm taking the Keppra religiously in the morning an night. Moved the Celexa to take one in the morning and one at night to not have to taper off affect mid-afternoon. Things are working well with me.

Weight is down but haven't had a chance to weigh in for the last two weeks. Hope to find a way this week so I can see what month 2 on Phentermine has produced.

Haven't heard anything from Dr. Boo on next steps. Haven't called yet but might this week.

Have an EEG coming up in October to look forward to.

I look at photos of new babies online from friends and despite being happy for them, I still want to hold you one day and know that you are mine.

Love,

Future Baby Mama
