Sad beyond belief

Sep 27, 2008

Hey everyone. I have been back to the doctors. We are trying some new nausea medicine. I have a feeding tube that is helping me get all the vitamins and protein I need in. Life over the last couple days has been horrible. My sister had a misscarriage and I don't know what I can do to help her. Please pray for her.I will update again when I go to the doctors on Wednsday.

another endoscopy- will they ever figure out whats wrong?

Aug 07, 2008

I do want to start out and tell everyone how thankful I am for your support. I have been kinda not telling everything that is going on with me. I had my rny on June 2nd this year. Weight is coming off, but not the way I wanted it to. I have been vomitting for the past 4 weeks or so. I am not keeping any food down. Even my vitamins I get sick over. So I went to get an endoscopy less than 3 weeks ago, they told me they saw I was swollen and red but just keep taking the 3 stomache meds I was given. Did that- still vomitting.. SO went back and saw Jeanine on Tuesday. She prescribed a patch and put me in the outpatient infusion center to get pumped up with fluid and vitamins because of dehydration. As they were pumping in anti nausea medicine I was getting sick. So Jeanine has me going in for another endoscopy tomorrow. I am hoping that we can get to the bottom of this now. I still have not been back to work since I cant stay out of bathroom for more than an hour. I just want my life back. I know or hope life will get better soon. I always try to be positive but I am so sick and tired of being sick and tired. Thank you for listening to my rant and if you are still reading please say a quick prayer that they figure out whats going on. My appt is at 920, so at least I can get it over with soon.

First day back to work

Jul 17, 2008

Oh lordy, lordy. I can back to work with my desk nicely decorated welcoming me back. I got more compliments from my coworkers than ever. I was happy to see everyone, but was feeling so sick. I was dry heaving and vomitting so bad that I thought I was going to die. So I talked to Jeannine and we are going to do the camera down the throat thing to make sure that everything is ok. Dr. Hutcher was reluctant to take my case because when I was preggo with my son I was so sick that I had at home health nurses coming to give me iv fluids because I was getting sick so much. He said his worry is that when I start loosing the weight and it starts to affect my hormones he is scared I will get sick all over. In my heart I think thats what is starting to happen and it scares the Hell out of me because I remember how sick I was with my son. I just keep trying to think positive thoughts and know I did this surgery for all the right reasons and that I am in the best hands possible. Jeannine and Dr. Hutcher are the best medical team I could hope to have, so I am going to leave it in there hands. I feel bad that I was put back out of work, but I know I need to try to get this resolved before I go back into that stressful situation.

I just had my husband take my "before" pictures. Oh my gosh. I did not know I was that fat. lol! I just saw myself in a whole new light. I knew I was fat, but not that fat. I did clothes, then bra and underware, then naked. We will not be having sex in the light for a long time. lol. He must have blinders on. Monday cant come soon enough!

Starving and feeling mean!

Oh! How did everyone make it through the liver shrinking diet??? I am so hungry and would probably give my right arm for a good steak and baked potato! I know why I am doing it, but I am so tired and weak. I am not sure how I will be able to do this for another week. I am dreading work next week. All the smells of food. 
But on a good note, I met Dr. Hutcher on Thursday. I am so excited for my surgery. He is an amazing dr. All my pre op tests are done and now I just have to wait till surgery date!
