I'm getting back on track....

Well as some of you know I had a stricture, this is when the scar tissue is over zelous and makes the hole where my new tummy tum and small intestine (eww) meet. I suspected as much when I started having a hard time keeping liquids down and then throwing up.

Anyways, I had an endoscopywhatsis done, (they sedate me and put a little camera and a balloon down my Schwalerin hole and strech out the opening with a balloon). The procedure was a success! Its pretty neat that they can do this without major surgery. I felt releif almost immedietly and things have been going better since. Although I had a sore throut because I came out of the sedation a little and was trying to talk. I remember the surgeon telling me to put my hands down and don't talk; I was trying to ask them to take the scope out just for a minute! And then I was trying to say sorry!
So it hurt more than it should have but hey! better than surgery!

My doc said my weight loss might have slowed a little because my body might have gone into starvation mode because I got dehydrated and only got around 250 calories in for a day or so. But now I'm back on top of my diet and feeling fine!

Things are going good, I am just getting kind of tired of food in general! Its so weird, I used to not be able to wait to eat, now I have to remind myself because I am just not hungry. I can tell when I NEED to eat, when I just feel tired and run-down, and I get thirsty when I have not drunk enough water. I'm just not hungry the way I used to be. That said, food still tastes good; many people told me that my tastes would change, I have not really experienced that so far, things that I liked before that I CAN eat taste the same as before but I sure can't eat as much!
