Praying to the porcelain God.



This has been another hard stomach week.  I wonder sometimes if this is how its going to be for the rest of my life. Sometimes I wonder if I made the right decision in getting the surgery.  Another moment of weakness I suppose.  I'm 5 weeks out now and still get sick a lot.  Like a lot a lot.  I have the hunger pains and frequent cravings but as soon as food hits my stomach I instantaneously become nauseous and have stomach pain. I usually have to lay on the couch rubbing my stomach for 20-30 minutes until it passes.  Today I must have ate my lunch to quickly or didn't chew enough and ended up getting food stuck in my chest.  I had to fly from the table and into the bathroom.  The pain and pressure in my chest was intense.  It seriously felt like I was having a heart attack.  I sat on the floor of the bathroom at work for a good 20 minutes foaming at the mouth.  I ended up being able to vomit a little bit (bloody puke) and the food slowly passed. I HATE feeling this way all the time.  It really makes me not want to eat. I can't enjoy a meal without feeling like shit.  I still get stomach pain with drinking liquid.  I went walking this morning and came home and I swear unconsciously gulped a ice water.  I regretted that quickly.  Very quickly.  So fellow WLS peeps if you ever think your pouch isn't working gulp some water.
I have been able to exercise three times so far this week which has been amazing!  It's always nice to sweat!  I would think some more weight would fall off this week but I'm stuck at 203.8.  Sooooo close!
