At least you have a better idea as to what's wrong. I hope it works itself out.

Went to doctor this morning, have UTI, infected bladder.  That explains everything.  I'm down 40.2 pounds, which I think is very good for five weeks.  I think we may be closing the firm a little early today cuz the queen bee is fixing to take some Lortab (and some benadryl for the itching that the Lortab causes).  My hubby has gone to get my RX for liquid antibiotic and he's supposed to stop by the law office on the way back to drive me home.  My new PCP is so unenlightened re WLS.  I told him I could not take pills or timed release meds and he had the most blank look on his face....duh.  I saved his sorry butt any embarassment and explained why because he didn't bother to look at my chart! (We're retired military and use base physicians).   My labs were good, my hydration was good.  I thought the pain was from gas trapped in my lower abdomen and took Milk Of Magnesia last night.  I was scolded and told not to do that again, it would dehydrate me quickly (impressed the PCP knew that much!).  I knew when I saw my urine specimen this morning I was wrong about that trapped gas.  The bright side:  I am not constipated!

My dear hubby made some White Chili for us yesterday.  I didn't eat it (I thought I had some intestinal issues and was afraid to compound the problem) but I did drink the broth. It was so yummy!  I hope I feel good enough this evening to eat some.  That's double the whammy protein there, and it's good stuff! 

Don't take it personal if I do not respond, I no longer have internet at home, and I'm leaving work to go home and get in my warm bed!  Love to all of you....have a grand weekend!

Well hello everyone. Let me start by saying that I am extremely pre-op.  See I am 22 and in college , and work a job that doesnt offer insurance. So until I graduate and can get a job that does offer insurance, I will continue to educate myself on WLS. But I am facing some problems. My friends and most my family are all average , or only slightly overweight. So they have little understanding to my extreme desire to have WLS and change my life.

I only hear negative feedback, which Im  hoping is only their fear for me having surgery. But when I try to make them understand my reasons for wanting this, they either say something like, oh you can do this without surgery, or surgery is a serious option just to become skinny. Yeah i know some of that is just plain rude. But anyway, I am mainly looking for someone who maybe can understand where I  am coming from, and offer some encouragement and advice. lol

I need some plus size friends! Or at least someone who has walked in my shoes, so to speak. Seriously, I need someone , to talk to about what its like pre-op. And help me keep the goal in focus. Getting WLS and becoming healthy. So if you think you sound like the person Im looking for PLEASE email me. My email is [email protected] I'll be looking forward to some replies. Thanks everyone!

CONGRATS!!

Oh my gravy guys, this was the best stuff I have eaten in a very long time! Very tastey!! I cooked the Salsa Chicken Recipe I posted earlier today in the crock pot. When I got home, I threw a dash or two of cumin in the pot and shredded the chicken. I shredded some lettuce, put in on the plate, topped the lettuce with chicken mixture, topped this with diced onions, shredded cheddar, 3 -4 slices of jalapenos and a small amount of sour cream. I then placed 5 -6 tortilla chips on the side. OMG!!!!! This was sooooo good!! My hubby even liked it and he isn't a fan of chicken. You gotta try this one guys!!!! YUMMMO!!!
