Movin' right along ...

Mar 14, 2012

Had the barium swallow.  It was awful, I threw up twice.  

The fizzy barium part wasn't too bad.  It was that icky thick sludge they kept telling me to chug as fast as I can.  Ugh.

They found a hiatal hernia, which I already knew I had.  No biggie.

Waiting on my cardio appointment.

Starting to learn toward surgery in May or June for various reasons.  Still not sure, though. 

Trying to make changes beforehand.  I've been practicing not drinking anything for half an hour after I eat.  I find it's easiest when I'm at work.  Soon I'm going to start experimenting with protein powders.  I'd like to dump a nice 20 lbs before the surgery. 

Trying to get off sugar again.  I was sugar-free for almost 2 years and fell off the wagon in August.  I could kick myself.  That said ... when I get off of it again, I know it'll be forever.  If God will grant me one more clean break from sugar, I won't go back.  Not worth it.

I'm not about to go have this surgery and put myself through the wringer just to be one of those people that gains everything back within 5 years then starts posting YouTube rants about how the surgery doesn't work.  Eff that!
