My Journey so far.....October 1, 2008
posted on 10/1/08 12:51 am
It is now Wednesday October 1, 2008. 
I am in the midst of preparing for Laparscopic Gastric Bypass.  It is an emotional journey.  I have completed the Upper Gi to see what the extent of my hiatal hernia is.  But after the test, developed a allergic reaction to the barium you have to drink.  Had to take benadryl, and now all is well.  Seems like every week something else comes up. 
On Saturday I entered and walked in the Walk from Obesity in Tacoma.  I tried to walk the path, got better than half way but my foot that has hurt off and on for the last few weeks hurt even more.  I went to the doctor and am going to have another test to see if I have a stress fracture.  It was a relief to know that something actually was wrong and that I wasn't a total failure at the Walk.  I did get embarrassed.  My husband and I had a wonderful conversation and some good communication that day.  He finally sees how important this is to me, and that I need him to be involved and be supportive. 
So, life goes on.  I'll take it one day at a time.  Go to see my nutritionist on Thursday.  I haven't been keeping a food journal to accurate but have started journaling how I feel, especially when it comes to food and when I eat.  One step at a time.....I'll just keep plugging along.
