Back in the game.....I'm going for 40 more lbs

Dec 29, 2008

Ok....here is the scoop.

I went to Mexicali to get a leak test etc. It was discovered that I don't have a leak and I have NOTHING wrong.

I had an upper GI done..you know the one where you stand on the little platform? Everything was going great .... he extracted ALL the fluid....Hmmmm I had .5 cc's LESS than my nurse said I had...in other words, she missed with the saline once!

After my Dr. put in the dye....oh my.......don't know why but I started getting hot and cold....blood drained from my face.....wow...JUST about passed out....NOT a nice feeling.

So, he took out the extra fluid and then put back saline...3.1cc's....well, actually he put in 3.2 cc's but that was too much according to the fluro so....he took out a tad and VOILA, restriction.

So....I made a mistake....I was flying through 'middle of nowhere' California when I got really hungry and couldn't get my hands on soup or a protein shake so....I ate some ice cream!!!! MISTAKE!!!!

I was in total pain within 3 hours or so....never again! It must be what dumping feels like.

So here I am in Vegas....went to a buffet today.had.....soup!

Had mashed potatoes for supper.....

Tomorrow....I am hoping for something a little more substantial.

So I am recommitting here.......40 lbs by summer...July 1, 2008.

That is approx. 7 lbs/month. Slow but doable!!!!

I am so close to the 250's....really close. So, 40 more lbs puts me at 220 and I will reassess there....I haven't been 220 since my late teens.

So....that is my post prior to the New Year......Happy NEW YEAR!
