My poor body doesn't like me at the moment. I've been so tired and ran down lately. It's been hard even putting one foot in front of the other. I just thought it was because all my body has been through with all the surgeries and all. Well I was wrong.
I had my annual visit and bloodwork with my Dr. It was a mess.
My potassium is dangerously low.
My b12 and b 6 are low
My vitamin D is low
My liver enzymes were out of whack.
The potassium and vitamin D are a constant battle for me. The d is because of my lupus and not being able to be outside in the summer much.
The liver issue is because of the 2 strong antibiotics I was on for the dog bite.
The other stuff she thinks is because my body isn't taking in enough food, liquid and protein.
So I am taking individual supplements for each issue. Protein is the hardest for me because I can eat eggs or a lot of meat. My stomach has so many issues.
I've had 3 major surgeries in less than a year. If I don't get this all taken care of I won't be having my last one.
So I'm concentrating on eating 5 small meals a day. It's hard because I'm just not hungry. Without my husband pushing me I don't think I could do it. I'm pretty sure subconsciously I have a eating disorder developing. It has nothing to do with the tirzepitide. It's me because of my battle with obesity my whole life. I finally am looking good for the first time ever. So I have to work on my body dysphoria issues. I'm not going completely off of tirzepitide. I'm just lowering the dose for now. I have my first counseling appointment set up for next week. I'm just glad I'm realizing it before it's to late.
So here's to getting myself back on track.
