so i had a colonscopy today , so last night i did the halflytley bowel prep with the 4 tablets, now i had this done pre-op and it was a peice of cake,  but this time around was a joke........i had pains in my stomach beyond belief as i drank that mix that i threw most of it up so i didnt drink it all and i told my gi doc he said it was ok, so they sedated me to do the procedure, i told my doc give me extra and he did when i woke up i was sooooooo drowsy even walkin i told my husband to hold on to me, i had this test done because last year i had ulcerative collitis as a result of taking to much clindamycin, but it seems as though that condition always comes back and only way to tell is with a colonscopy, so as i wait for the results until monday, i am still feeling dizzy from sedative which i had about 11 hours ago, go figure

we shall speak agin

 

well i didnt update for feb,2007 so i will tell you what happened on 2-20 i was scheduled to have lap gallbladder, but when i was getting operated on my doc saw that i had a large internal hernia, so he stepped outside to speak to my husband and told him it needed to be repaired my hubby said ok, so my doc tried to do it lap but couldnt so he did it open, so i had a lap gallbladder and a open hernia repair when i woke up i was in pain beyond belief i asked for my doc and said why am i in soooo much pain and then he told me what he did i was so miserable i never wanted open surgery for the fear of infection(and i got one) and the scarring and healing, the lap incisons do not bother me but the open still hurts and it has been almost 3 weeks, i have not been back to work yet, hopefully next week, the pain meds are not working for me they constipate me also, so im not taking anything, im not sure if i have a incisional hernia now or if its just scar tissue, but i have this bulge near the bottom of teh incision and its hard so im worried i asked my doc last week and he said its scar tissue but he also told me at 3 weeks post op when i had pain on my left side that it was ulcers, it was probably the hernia all along.................... 100lbs lost and 35 to go

Suggested Wine Pairing Red - Secco-Bertani Valpolicella This classic Italian red wine has smooth, berry flavors that help bring out the full range flavor of the chicken and marsala sauce   White - Chateau Ste. Michelle Chardonnay This smooth, medium bodied Chardonnay pairs well with this hearty dish   Blush - Beringer PVS White Zinfandel The slightly sweet flavors of this wine are a wonderful complement for the chicken and creamy marsala sauce

Stuffed Chicken Marsala Oven-roasted chicken breast stuffed with Italian cheeses and sun-dried tomatoes, topped with mushrooms and a creamy marsala sauce. With garlic parmesan mashed potatoes.

AND FOR DESSERT I ORDERED THIS BUT DID NOT EAT IT YET I WILL HAVE A FEW BITES LATER AND GIVE THE REST TO MY HUBBY AND BABY, LOL

 I am down 50lbs, everytime I eat I get a stomache to the point I have to lay down.  however i am able to eat whatever i want,  but i dont want most things anymore, me and red meat are not friends and wont be for a while.  I still feel weak and depressed and not myself my energy level is 2 on a scale of 1-10..............i have pain from my ulcers and gallstones still, the medicine i was given is not working for me so i just deal with the pain.  right now i still have not gone abck to work since my surgery i had to go on disability leave for the extended time off.  its been almost 7 weeks since my surgery.  i am happy for the weight loss but depressed on the person i have become.  in a few months i will be more happy on the choice i made as of right now i dont know.
