New Problems

Oct 06, 2010

It's been awhile since my last post and there has been some changes. I noticed that over time I was unable to get more than 2 to 3 bites down at a time or 1/8 th of a cup. Then I was fighting dehydration. My eye lids were sticking to my eye balls, my mouth and lips were dry and i had small headaches. I was drinking tons of water and nothing helped. I called my doctor and she said that perhaps the pouch was made too small or that scar tissue had built up. She wants me to get a scope. I have an appointment tomorrow in the morning with the gastro doc. I'm frightened to eat anything of substance. So scared it may hurt or cause me to throw up. (I have thrown up 2x's since the surgery and I can say it's not fun and hurts even)
On a more positive note: I am feeling more energetic and doing things I never thought I would. Every weekend I use to sit on the couch and eat, nap and eat again. Now I make plans every weekend. Weather it's going to farmers markets, site seeing, dancing hula or going to a rodeo there is always something to do on the weekends. during the week I clean, run errands and enjoy a few of my hobby's. I have a new love for life and it's exciting and apparently contagious. I see the change in those around me and get embarrassed when they tell me I inspired them to make changes in their lives. I know I shouldn't feel embarrassed but I didn't think I inspired anyone let alone changed them. It feels good like I'm finally contributing to society.
