Well out 6 weeks and still can't really eat well. I can not eat too much and not what I should be able to eat this far out. Pretty sure I need to get the balloon dilation but trying to hold out until heal more so they can use more pressure...maybe then I won't have to get it repeated yet another time.

I just want to be able to eat a few bites without having pain! Ugh. Not sorry I had surgery but wishing felt better that's all.

Last Thursday I finally decided to call the surgeons' office about the heartburn I was having. I felt over full, like it was stuck in my throat and wouldn't go down. Thought I might be eating too much, too fast. But the heartburn and pain in the middle of the chest hurt so much for so many days in a row I finally called in.

They scheduled an endoscopy for the next morning and told me if they found strictures (scar tissue, small opening)...

Well last week I had a stall. I couldn't get off 247.4 lbs...three days into it my daughter went to our local ice cream joint. I said to bringme some SOFT chocolate ice cream WITH sprinkles in a dish. I figured, soft ice cream is like yogurt. DUH! Didn't think about the sugar!!! OMG was I sick. Nausea was so bad. I tried to throw up and couldn't. Finally came out (different end)..but still sick. Put cold rag on forehead and around neck. FINALLY 2-3...

Been a couple days since I posted. Feeling good today. Tuesday was a off day. Decided to take first outing to go to the grocery store with my husband (Walmart). It took alot out of me and I was so exhausted when I got home. Went into the bathroom, had a little of the "d" word (can't even spell it hahah) and felt weak. Noticed my fingernails had a red/purplish tint in the bed. Scared me, what the heck?! Come to find out it has to do with...
