Still no answers but we keep on trying....
Mar 11, 2009
I went today for blood work to see if I have a gluten allergy and that might be the reason for my stomach issues. I have been told that I do have IBS so that was a relief to hear. At last some kind of answer. I have daily pain, low just behind my crazy bellybutton (not pretty after PS but it's the one I was born with) sometimes it hurts more to the left side but resently, it has been really bad on the right side. My weight has spiked some from my nerves getting the best of me and I stress eat but I jumped 15 lbs in 2 weeks which is not normal and my journal showed that during that time frame I was only getting between 1000-1200 cals. per day. I'm really upset by this, it is causing me to be somewhat depressed, as I never ever thought that I would ever have to worry about weight again, well wrong stupid. The surgery is just a tool, you have to always work it so that you stay at your goal weight. My PCP thinks that if this blood work done today shows that it is gluten that is the cause that my new "diet" will help me drop these extra pounds, I sure hope so. I'm sure once spring gets here and I can get out and back to my walking routine, that the pounds will drop, (knocking on wood,head same difference) I am sadly a total couch potato in the winter, I love to cuddle up in a good blanket and just read good books. So I am promising myself that I will get back to at least doing a 1/2 hr of exercise everyday till my walking routine is back in place. Exercise is the whole key and without that, sure the weight will come off but without it, the weight will come right back on. I promise you that is what will happen, I am not willing to let it stay that way so I have DVD's ready, my exercise ball, pilates bar & DVD, yoga DVDWii Fit, and several other good workouts so it doesn't get boring and they say that your body works better if you shake it up.
I have promised myself that I will be a sucess story not a failure at this so I am going to be kicking my butt starting tomorrow to make sure I get this weight off and enjoy my summer back in my size 10's wish me luck and say a prayer, I greatly accept any help I can get...(mostly please pray that these pains go away once and for all, I am tired of being in pain and not knowing what is causing it)
Thanks for taking the time to read my rants & raves....Laurie
