Made it thru my first week back to work, mind you I started on Wednesday
I am sooooooo tired, all I want to do is - go home, hug my luveys and crash on my bed. They had a Birthday Celebration and my Supervisor purchased 3 cakes! I stayed at my desk reading a magazine what I really wanted to do was  but I made it - unscarred lol

I am finding that my taste buds are very different, everything tasted funny. I had cheddar cheese and Turkey and it was awful! Why does everything taste slimy?!?!?!? Oh and it smells funny too

So I had a Stricture repaired last Tuesday and I was feeling great, so Sunday morning I got up to make my boys breakfast and all of a sudden I get a "hot flash" everything starts spinning and I dropped to the floor. I called my Surgeons office Monday morning and was sent to the ER. As I was registering with the nurse, it happened again. 3 bags of fluid later and 2 GINORMEOUS Potassium pills later I go home. Pale and tired as ever but home.
It is now Wednesday and I am back to work. I have a desk job so it hasnt been too bad but I do feel faint when I get up from my chair. I know that I am not getting enough calories in. It took 3 hours to drink a Protein shake! Now I am starting my yogurt - which I LOVE but that puts me at 320 calories for today so far. Any suggestions?

So, I am unfortunately in the BAD, no TERRIBLE habit of weighing myself every other day. And sometimes twice in that day. Like today, I was 235 this morning and now I am 237
I know many factors will affect my weight but then my mind starts spinning and I panic.

I had a stricture repaired on Tuesday and I keep panicing that maybe they stretched me out too much and now I am gonna start gaining all the weight back and I am going to stay fat forever, I know I sound NUTS   between you and I - I even said that I wasn't going to have the follow-up Endoscopy next Tuesday because I am afraid that they are going to mess up and stretch it too much!!! 

I do have to say I feel way better now that the Stricture was repaired, I can drink my water with no pain, now I have to work on getting it all in so that this constipation goes away. Not even the Dulcolax Stool Softeners are helping! YIKES.
