Today I weighed 163.6 and I am down 75 pounds!!! 75 pounds!!! I cannot believe that just 5-6 months ago I was carrying around 75 extra pounds. I still have 50 pounds I want to lose to get to goal and I hope to be there within another 6 months! This has been the longest and hardest 5 months but also the most rewarding! I don't think I have ever felt as confident as I do right now. I still have a lot of confidence to gain but I am extremely happy with my self confidence right now. This has been a true once in a lifetime journey.
I ended up getting a upper GI scan done on Wednesday morning. The dr who did the scan let me know that I have reflux and a diverticulum on the top of my pouch. When liquid and food passes through the pouch it is causing inflammation which in turn is causing nausea and pain. The Carafate that Dr Westmoreland prescribed on Tuesday should hopefully help. I took the Carafate for the first time Wednesday. I felt like it was helping on Thursday as I was able to eat without any problems. Everyday since however I haven't felt much better or been able to eat a whole lot. I'm really hoping it starts to improve so I can get healthy.
