Still Losing....
Oct 21, 2009
10-22-09Well, its been a long time since I have checked in..I am kinda in a mess..I have lost 94 lbs since Feb. I have gone from a size 24, to a size 12, and some of those are big...Its a different life..People treat you different..they stand longer on the street when they stop to chat..They draw you in more..But I guess that is because there was a lot they did, that I could not do, due to my wt.
I still cant eat. I went last wk, and got scoped, and they report I have ulcers. I have a lg. one at the opening of my stomach. As soon as food reaches the stomach, their is pain like you have never felt, and then of course it doesnt stay down... I am taking 3 kinds of ulcer meds, one of them I take every 6 hrs..I havent been able to eat since Jan. My hair is comming out by the hand fuls..I cant even get the protein drinks down..I just smell them and get sick..
I go back to surgeon the 5 of Nov. we will discuss how to proceed..I had a heart attack 4 wks ago, so I am on Plavix (blood thiner) and at this time I cant be off it for even 1 dose, so surgery is out of the Question...I'm really in a pickle..I cant get any energy, to do anything.. I leave it to the Doctors, and of course the Great Physician...But, even if I could change this, I would do it again in a heart beat. I still dont take any diabetes meds. and that was the main reason for the surgery....I'll check back in... Sooner than last time...Good luck to all who are on this journey..! God Bless You All!
