I went to the hospital today to have a EGD done to check to see what my stoma and pouch was doing. On the way home I asked my husband what the MD had said. Hubby says that the MD was very rude and condescending, stated that there was nothing wrong with his surgery that I obviously had a behavior problem with eating.  . He stated that my pouch was mildly dilated (what ever that means) and that i had GERD. I am extremely disappointed. I know in my heart that my pouch is enlarged. I can eat a whole bakers roll with cheese it in to feel full. 

I remain impulsive still which is an ongoing issue. I had gone shopping to try to eat better. I also placed a call to a bariatric surgeon in Adirondacks that does the duodenal switch. We will have to see how this goes.

Helo everyone! My last post was a year ago and things where looking relaly good. I have had issues with food again and my eating addiction has raised its ugly head again. I am having trouble controlling myself with eating forbiddened foods, such as snicker bites, ice cream, breads, and trail mixes. Now the trail mixes whould not be so bad but..this one has cholocate in it. bad bad bad.
My weight has gone up to 280 and i am scared! My knee's are starting to hurt and my clothing is getting to tight.
Tonight i went and placed all my ice cream that was in the ftige in the sink to melt away. I have also thrown out my stash of goodies that i have around the house, I think that thing that i have the most difficult with is at work in my cubical. I graze and graze all day and I can't seem to stop!
I so badly need to get this until control again. i need to break the cycle. Please if anyone is out there please contact me and we can help each other out.

I have to say WOW!!!! oh my god WOW! I am now 264lbs! that is 110 lbs gone GOOD BYE GOOD BYE GOOD RIDDENCE! I have gone from a 32 to a size 20 and i am soooooo happy, can't you tell :) :) :)

Thank God that stall is over! I thought i was going to go nuts! I almost picked up my scale and thru it out the window. My weight has finally started to go down again this week. I have discovered thought that i can eat sugar without any issues and that S/F ice cream is a nice treat every now and then. Yes i know that it is naughty. I am now down to 297. Thats 38lbs since the surgery and total it is 77 pounds!!!!!!!  I definatley notice that my energy level is going up and that i am becoming more social again. I actually went to Zoom Flume yesterday and walked around all day in my bathing suit and did not feel ashamed or embarrased. I have worked hard for this and I deserve to be happy.

I jumped on the scale today and OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am down to 300!!!! I can hardly believe it! My stall finally went by and the weight is starting to come off again. I do have to say Pork is a BIG BIG NO NO this early, which unfournitiy i did not realise until last night after i vomited for the 4-5 time. ugh!!! I went back to soft food again today because i honestly don't want to mess with that again! 
The left sided pain has recided dramtically. thank you so much! I will certianly not miss that at all!

Update again later!

Hi everyone!
 Things are going ok. I am now down to 308. The only thing that really bothers me is my Left side under my rib cgae. gosh it hurts!!!!! it is right below my rib cage and does not ever seem to be going away. When i feel around the insicison site it is still very swollen, or as i like to refer to it as the Ball,  because literally that is what it feels like. I am do to go back to work next week but i can't sit with out pain. i don't know how i am going to sit at a desk for 8 hours :( I am going to keep my fingers crossed that this goes away. I can not sleep because of the pain! I am so uncomfortable. I can not longer lay on my left side or on the abdomen to sleep, and i wake up in constant pain  I hope this gets better.
