Yesterday and today..

The good with the bad...the process of healing and the journey back to healthy living.
I had a blockage yesterday. Wasnt dumping and wasnt just a temporary thing. I spent the afternoon at the hospital and they did another Barium Swallow study.  Today I go to the hospital GI LAB at 11 to have an endoscope and dilation done. Doctor said that possibly a stricture where the small intestine attached to stomach. During healing sometimes it shrinks a little smaller than should be and needs to be adjusted. Thank goodness I will be sedated for this.
Im not hungry.   Havent eaten in a few days and that part is just an amazing thing.  Have to be careful with that tho because you have to eat and drink to live.  I went to my support group last night and talked about what I wrote on here. The part where I spent most of my life avoiding overeating/multiple meals and now I have to think and breathe and dream and constantly eat and drink all day night. THat is hard for the overeating mental part. They will help me thru this.   I am doing ok this morning emotionally and feel ok. Just want to get back to recovery and healing! Keep your chin up is what I am telling myself. Beats hugging the toilet......laughs....at least I still have my sense of humor!
