Thought it was time for a new thread since we reached over 30 post on the last one- I'll be back in a moment with my post....
I survived eating radioactive scrabled eggs for one of my stomach test this week. It is not bad enough that they mix them with something that is so radioactive that if it is spilled they have to call the hospital haz mat team to clean it up but they also microwave the eggs in a styrofoam bowl- YUCK! I was only able to eat about 40% of the eggs- and that took a lot of effort and deep breathing. Now I have to wait until November 15th to get the results of that and another test they did.
I have lost a couple of more pounds this month- I had problems with my feeding tube and couldn't get all my formula and water in for nearly a week. It is still hard for me to not to feel guilty about trying to maintain my weight right now even though that is what my doctor wants me to do right now. I still try to eat a bite or two sometimes- I don't know why I do it except to check to see if my stomach is going to cooperate yet- which it hasn't. The worst had to be when I had to be off the feeding tube over 12 hours for testing and was so thristy but when I tried to drink I got sick- that is the closest feeling I have had to being hungry in months. It was torture to not be able to deal with the thrist at all.
Jen- let's all hope that Drake let's you get some much needed sleep soon. I am sure he is sweet little angel
Sandi- I use to have to shake things up once in awhile to get back on program- either try some new exercise or new OP friendly food or journally/tracking serving sizes to the extreme to get back on track.
Jennifer- I am off this semester and hope to return to university in January even if it is only one class.
Spartanmom- GO GREEN! I miss being on campus all the time this semester- my dept still considers me a student even though I am not taking any credits this term- they have been great about everything I have been through in the past 2 years.
Tamara- congrats on your soon to be new addition!
Hi to everyone else!
Take care,
Christine
