EGD Done!

Jun 02, 2015

I went to see my surgeon today for the follow up on my EGD. I had some polyps...tested ok, inflammation...possibly from my meds since no history of GERD or other stomach problems, and a small hernia he will take care of during the surgery! So all I need to do now is get a chest x-ray done and complete my nutrition classes which I will be done in August...then I am good to go!

I was disappointed I have only lost 1 pound in the past 2 weeks, but I know I have been almost maxing out my allotted daily calories & allowing a cheat meal or drink. I need to get back on the straight & narrow b/c that was what worked for me. some ppl can stray, but I see I cannot. I still feel I have my hunger under control, but I see where it being the summer I am drawn to an ice cold soda on occasion or fresh strawberries w/cool whip after dinner. I was told if I MUST have a snack it should always be protein...not even fruit.

The professionals know what they are talking about!

I am also thinking that my body just may be adjusting to the lower calories these past few months and that may be another reason for the slowdown. Still, my goal is to lose 8 pounds by my next NUT appointment. I know I can do this!

I still feel good even if I am still prone to tiredness...which a nap takes care of! Sometimes I feel like I have come really far, but other times I think I have a long way to go. Which I do. I still need to lose at least 130+ pounds. The 40+ I have already lost is huge, but I need to keep going.

Anyhow, overall I cannot complain. I am in pretty good shape health-wise considering the beating I have imposed on this old body! I have cleared almost all my medical tests. I have lost almost 50 pounds. I am eating better than I ever have and exercising on a regular basis. I plan to continue & improve as I continue this journey.
