Week 7 Update

Jun 22, 2011

Well I found out yesterday that a gastric bypass patient is indeed able to vomit. After eating raspberries, I developed a painful case of the foamies (which I have also never experienced before, but involved burping up spit for about a half an hour, and painful chest pain radiating into my back) until I finally vomited up all the raspberries I had eaten. I am not really sure what caused this. I can have raspberries and have had them before with no problems. The only problem I can think of is the fact that I might have eaten them a little too fast being they went down so easily???? I don't really know but I am a little terrified to try them again. Otherwize doing great. I finished all the Flagyl for my C. Diff and am silently praying that I don't get it back. I guess there is a 40% chance. fingers crossed though. Good news is I have lost another pound which puts me at a total of 48 lbs lost. My weight is currently 185.6. I had my six week check-up with my dietician and she said I am ahead of the game percentage wize with my weight loss (mostly bcause I was so sick), she said I am ahead of where I should be even at my 3 month check-up, so that was great to hear. And I feel I deserve it for having to battle that nasty disease. The weight has been coming off slow though since I have been eating solids. I am hoping the weight loss picks up more, because at this rate I am only losing 4 lbs a month, which is depressing at this stage of the game. Although I only have 35 more to go until reaching my surgeons goal, my hope is to be in the 135 range, which means I have 50 more to go. Eeekk! I really think it is time to throw in the exercise as much as I loathe it.
