So I keep puking my guts out for three days. I though it was because I started my puree food two days early (bad I know) But I was literally going to punch something if I had to drink another protein drink. Belch. Can wait to not drink those anymore!

Anyhow....I called the DR office and they told me it could bee food intolerance and starting phase 3 early. So I thanked them and tried to at least get my vitamin and water in.....oh no...I yakked it all up and keep yakking....it was not fun. I threw up like 8 times and all I had was water. I was in a worry/ panic..so I called the Dr office and I was told to go to the ER.

I reached the ER at 2:30ish in the afternoon....I was not seen til 5ish and was admitted into the hospital around 10:30 ish......I had no idea this was happening...until they were wheel my bed away and my Honey and I were like.."Hey where are we going???" So we were staled til the ER Dr came to talk to us. I found out I had a blockage/ also known as a stricture.

So they fixed me the next day in the afternoon. They did a endo scope and dilated my blockage with a device called a balloon. I was so scared, but the procedure was great as soon as that was done I felt so much better!!! I knew it was working as I started to toot. *blush* I have become a tooter. 

I was scared to drink after that... But now I am feeling better..Still trying to get my water and protein down...It is a daily challenge. Since my ordeal I was supposed to go back to work today. But I have til  next Monday to go back. I am worried about it as I am so exhausted. That ER/ blockage made me go back three squares. I am soooo tired all the time. I take a shower and I just have enough energy to do that and then I have to rest. Very sad really. I see the Dr tomorrow so maybe he can suggest ways I can gain my energy back...or I might just have to take it day by day. The funny thing is before this incident I was doing great! I was feeling good. Cleaning house, folding laundry, taking walks. Now I walk around the house...and rest...I do a few dishes and rest...even driving makes me tired and sore. Weird!!!

So I went to the Dr's on Tues. He told me not to worry about my bulge (that I call my third boob). So I am feeling better. My concerns have been put to rest. Right now I have been wanting to work out and walk...but my energy today was very low. I will try again tomorrow.

I have had an incident happen to me. I ate some mashed potatoes...just two bites...and ole golly something got stuck. I threw up...I thought I would feel better. But no. I waited a few hours and drank water.......and threw that up. So I have waited a few more hours and had a Popsicle......threw that up!!!! So I am stopping for the eve...and hope my body goes back to normal. Have never had this problem before........Keep you all updated. Everything is well beside that. Keep up your protein and waters .......it has defin been a challenge for me!

So almost week 3..all was going well and in the last few days I am having horrible upper right adomen pain. It is a stabbing pain and I have not bee as active as I was being. I am annoyed and not sure why I am in such pain. It only hurts when I move ....I have an appointment with my Dr on Tuesday morning. I am hoping it is just part of recovering. I am hoping I did not strain my adomen....It is still very swollen and that is the only area I feel pain. Concerned and worried...but hope the DR puts my mind at ease.............

I got home the other day in the afternoon. I am set up oddly with my lap top...so a very short post. Now that surgery is done...my next thing to look forward to is feeling normal.....I wonder how long that takes???

The clock is ticken...and tomorrow is my RNY.....can I say a OMG!!!!! I am having a hard day today....just on clear liquids...belch. I have been on a liquid diet for 10 days now 10.......I am starving.

My fiance just made a homemade pizza and I swear I am ready to call off the surgery to have a slice....smells so good!!!! But I won't do that. This journey I am going on is more important than any food I could ever put in my mouth. I just can not wait til I get to the weeks into my  journey that I can have pureed food.....yuck at the thought really...but it has more fullness than liquid.

Cool part is that I won't even really be hungry. ...OK I can't wait to I get to the point in my journey that I can eat solids.....that is still awhile out.....but ehhh...I am just really hungry and I am on here distracting myself. I can not ruin my chances at getting surgery now. That would be so not OK. I don't think I ever want to do a ten day liquid fast again.....I know I am going to stay on liquids for a week or two after wls.......but I know then I won't have this gnawing hunger. This is truly a test!

So I am scared. I am worried. I am nervous. I am excited. I am wishing that I can just fast forward my life to when I reach goal. But I do need to experience this journey. I have so much to do for tomorrow. I have to pack. I have to take off my nail polish...shave my legs...do all my upkeep. I have to tidy my house some more :) Because after surgery I want to concentrate on getting better and stronger and walking...and losing!

I have date I am super excited/ scared/ ready!   Keep you all posted...so happy!!!

I had my consult on Jan 8th and I learned a lot. Met my Dr who is really nice and his people are kind, and efficient. I am excited, nervous and scared. But I am more excited than anything else. I got my WLS notebook and I read it twice and highlighted all the important parts which is most of the binder :)

Got a call today Jan 13th and I am getting my EKG  and x-ray order sent...The cool thing about this is I just go to the local hospital before 4:30 pm any day and I can get it done. Next I have an appointment with my Dr so he can look into my tummy (yes these are very medically professional terms lol) So there will be no surprises when he does the surgery. Next I will have a appointment to get my gallbladder ultrasound.

Everything is just bee-bopping along! I am so excited and hope it is not a hurry up and wait situation. But I am prepared to wait....because all good things  take time (or so I hear) Wish me luck, and God bless!

So now begins my journey......I got a call from the Dr. Office and my ins will cover surgery and I have a consult date! I got this call in the morning after a hard night of not feeling well. What great news!!!!

So in the consult Dr and assistant will go over the procedure with me. Then I have to do life skills and different assorted visits and medical tests. She says after my initial consult...it takes two to four months to get a surgery date. That is pretty good time frame for me!

Currently I am off of work til Feb 2nd due to some medical conditions: severe arthritis and fibromyalgia. I just got diagnosed. It is scary to just turn thirty and have my body rebel on me. I have three months off due to my conditions. I hope having surgery will immensely help my health.

I am happy with everything and for the first time have hope that I will be a healthy weight  and that my body will feel healthy again. I have been on a diet since I was 14! To no avail.....My only concern at this point is missing more time off work. I am sure my work will work with me, and I will be back full time for four months til I have surgery. So I am keeping positive on the whole thing...plus this is for my health so I am sure they rather have a healthy employee than a sick one who can barely function! lol
