Unfil

Dec 16, 2009

 Went to the doctor today for regular checkup. I have been having a few problems lately. I have been having reflux at night. I don't eat much anymore, maybe one meal and a snack or two a day. It took me a whole day to get down 1.5 cups of chili the other day.

My last fill was in July, when I went back in Oct. I was doing well with my weight loss and eating. But since then I have been having more trouble eating etc.
The doctor said he thinks maybe I had a stuck episode and the swelling just hasn't been allowed to go down because of eating. I didn't really want to get an unfill so the doctor sent me to get an esophagram to check the band. It didn't show a slip. The radiologist said everything really looked good except the dye wasn't going down hardly at all, because it was too tight.
I went back to the office and the doctor took .5 cc out. He still thinks it is just from swelling. He said he would look at my test in the next couple of days to see what he thinks it might be.
So I am suppose to be on liquids for the next 2 days. I have only had 2 protein shakes today.

Note to self- don't try to work out with only having drank 2 protein shakes. I went to the Y to do water aerobics and had to stop after 30 minutes because my blood sugar was dropping. By the time I got dressed and to the lobby I was shaking. It took a bottle of apple juice and a bottle of orange juice to bring my sugar up enough to drive home.
I ate some bean soup (chewed well) and now I feel a lot better.

My weight today was 187 at home and 192 at the doctor. I have lost 94 lbs total. I also had to buy a new pair of jean a size smaller since starting working out at the Y.
