PAIN!
So yesterday I had another awful episode!!! holy cow it was bad!! These episodes are really getting annoying now!!
Yesterday I had my lunch around 2:30 ish had some past without tomato sauce- just maybe a half cup- then i had some peanuts as a snack and a "few" peanut butter m&m's ... at around 5:00pm I felt this episode coming.. it didnt start off bad but I felt the pressure start in my tummy and start working its way up through my esophigus (however you spell that) at around 6:00pm I was hurled over in pain, my mouth started watering as if i was about to vomit.. but nothing.. the pain then started going away a bit. (it was there but it was barable) I sat and watched my daughter play her soccer game. We headed home and I started cooking the family dinner- still in pain but barable-- then it started escalating again! My hubby had to run to the store so I waited for him and when he got home I told him he had to finish dinner and I headed to bed.. I was drained by this time and started to snooze but couldnt get to sleep cuz of the pain. it was weird this time, it felt like a mix of my "episode" and the stomach flu.. for a minute I totally thought I had the flu.. I just layed there. getting the sweats and being cold all at the same time.. after about another hour I tried to go to the bathroom. I was able to go #2.. and since i had the chills decided to warm my self up by taking a shower.. I took shower and after just crawled back into bed. Still in so much pain i could have cried. I have never been this close to going to the ER, I was seriously scared. But figured it was either the stomach flu or this episode. I finally fell asleep maybe about an hour later. and woke up today feeling better. I still feel stomach pain (the way you feel after you had the stomach flu) but not in pain. I am here at work and really being careful with what I eat just in case it is the flu, i dont want to vomit here at work. hehe.
anywhoo. I am really getting scared with all these episodes that it may start to be eating away at my esophaugus.. (however you spell that) I dont want to end up like my grandfather and not get this kind of thing treated and let it get worse to were I get cancer. That is my fear!!! my doctor wont yet give me the referal to the GI doctor but I think I will ask around and see if i can gt the referall from another doctor. because I would really feel so much better and be way less stressed out if I knew for sure this wasnt causing damages to my insides...
Good Bye for now! :)

Almost 8 Months
I guess my 8 months Post op isnt officially until friday 12/7- but I am bored right now so I figured I would go ahead and type something out.
To upate you all on my special "episodes" that at one point i was having every day! I called my surgeons office and spoke with the nurse she told me it was a possibility I was constapated. I really didnt belive this because seriously I was super uncomfortable but i tried what she said (although she recommended milk of magnesia) I cant stand drinking any form of medicine so I just went and picked up some Ex-Lax- The next day those bad boy pills kicked in and cleaned out the system. I only have had one really bad episode since then! i started to feel pretty bad a couple days ago and was afraid that the episodes were going to start again so I went ahead and took another ex-lax- which again cleaned me out. I still get the chest pains but they are not unbarable like they were. They are less frequent too. I am supper happy about that, I have even stopped taking my Acide Reducer pills - and even without taken them I have not had any episodes. Pheww.. I really hope they are starting to go away all together because those were the most intense days since surgery and really prayed it wouldnt be a permenent change in my life. I gotta say though with these episodes it really helped me control what I ate, since I was always in pain I was always afraid to eat. Now that I dont have pain I am scare to over eat. I am scared that I am consuming too much!
This journey has been one roller coaster... I have my days where I really get sad and think that this weight loss is great but wont last... then I have others that just drive me to do better! I dont know what the end result will be with my journey but I sure havent given up the fight! I still will continue fighting.
I am still going to the gym 3 days a week. Trying to get more days of intense weight training done but it doesnt seem to be happening! It is really tough trying to fit in a full days work along with supporting my kids sports and being a mom and then fitting in a workout plan. but again I am determined to not give up and to make this work!
I am still eating quiet a few sweets, I hate to say it but they really are my down fall, it gets really bad around my menstral cycle but I really dont know what I can do to change that. I have tried trust me but it is a never ending battle which I am currently loosing. I am aware of the calories in intake and I always want and have planned to write it down to track them but then when i actually start I see what I eat and it scares me. I would rather not write down what I eat, but I know I should...
Thats enough for now-- please keep your fingers crossed that this journey continues to have a good outcome becuase I really dont want to become what I was... I really am enjoying what I am turning into!!!!
I currently weighed in this morning at 169--- (starting weight was 245) that would be a total of 76 pounds lost!!!!
