So she's in the hosptial and they took an xray and confirmed she's got something going on down there. They gave her a new drink to try that she has to take while at the hospital and then this evening and then tomorrow morning. The drink is full of sugar so now she's pretty upset ! Can't say that I blame her (even though I assured her that her health is important...I would be upset too!).
She has to see a specialist too...please send her healthy, strong and healing thoughts.
We will all use our special prayers and positive energy to send BusyMom on the way to recovery!!! Please tell her that I am thinking about her wish her well. She is doing an amazing job...this little bump will not stop her!!!!!!!
Hang in there! I'll tell you something to cheer you up. We go right to the last day of June before summer vacation. But our kids aren't too psyched out about it yet because it still cool. Once it warms up the fun begins.
Great plan on bringing your own food to school "special days". seems in school there is one occasion after another to be celebrated with food. Just think how much better you are going to feel this summer with so much more energy.
Thanks!!! Yes, I feel so much better knowing that my journey has begun. My "thin" atitude and outlook is already returning! You are so right about the constant "foodie fun" at school. I have noticed that when the thin peeps have a celebration at their house, they bring it in and leave it in the lunchroom, for all of the fatties to eat!!!!! Yup!

She definitely has prayers coming her way. I agree that health is more important right now, she can continue the IP journey when she is better.

Oh no!! I thought it had to be more than constipation. The sugar drink won't be an issue at all. I have to have that test every five years too and you lose a lot of weight just from the prep.
Hopefully she will get some answers quickly now. It must be extremely uncomfortable to be drinking that guck and not getting any relief. I hope they can do something quickly now.

You got that right about the thin peeps bringing the food in!
After I started IP I always bring my own stuff and just don't pay attention to what the "special" occasion is. But I started to wonder why we aren't all very obese instead of just some of us. Then I reaized the "thin peeps" are actually very active. That sure helps a lot too.
The other thing I have noticed is that we teachers seem to eat the same way in that we are so incredibly busy up till about 3:30 we are not even really registering if we are eating or not. But once the last kiddy is out the door we crash and then start eating what ever we can get our hands on because it is the first minute we have to think about ourselves and realize we are hungry.
One thing about working in schools, it is never boring and time flies. and there is always something to laugh about. Kids are so funny.

Awww busymom, you will get past this! Hugs and prayers shooting your way!
Thanks ishbel for posting for me and thanks everyone for all your well wishes.
I am beyond frustrated, how can i still be full after citro mag and golytely??? I took the 2nd dose of that.stupid sugar stuff they gave me and of course its not doing anything. Just took 4 senakots and 2 colace hoping it will help and I'm very tempted to take 2 xstrenght xlax, figured to blast it with all i can. Have to call the gastro but not sure what to do right now in the meantime and really don't want to go spend another 6 hours at the hospital. Don't know why they couldn't empty me today.
Hope you all had a great day, the weather is beautiful here

Stay strong BusymomX4. They started you on the "big guns" to get stuff moving. If it is not...you stay at the hospital! Tell them you feel unsafe leavin with a possible obstruction! Let them get someone to see you tomorrow. In my opinion, they want to patch you up quickly because there are no specialist on the weekends. Actually, there are!!!! They are on call. Make yourself a priority insist on action. (My ex was a doc.) Seriously, you are worth it. You will be okay, but finish the job at the hospital!!!! If they cannot do this tonight..then tomorrow.
Love and hugs,
Julie
Ohmygosh I hope you get better soon! And I'm with Newpath on this one, those doctors get paid enough as it is (or rather, the hospitals do), so they should treat you the way you need and to help you get moving again.
This is where you make the list of why you decided to be on this diet (I included health and looking better etc etc - really put some thought into it) and how much your life has already improved (I really put a lot of thought into this too - including better s*x (tee hee)) with your before and right now pictures (posted that I did that for a vacation but used it when I was feeling "done" to get me through the last bit). AND, that it takes a month to phase off anyway...SO might as well keep swimming or as Patns has posted "keep on keeping on".
It's all a mental game and with more then a 100 lbs to loose, it's a mental marathon...you can do this...you can.
Nope, not giving up till the fat lady sings, which for me is getting pretty close if not all the way to the goal I set for myself.

This has just got to be so uncomfortable. I hope they can "fix" this problem soon as you have been through so much. Sending lots of
Just a quick update, i did end up taking the 2 xlax and you know what, not a drop, so i will go back this evening, dont want to go this mor.i.g and spend another entire day there
I am really looking forward to school being out so that I can do my WI's during the week, in the morning. I have decided that Sunday mid-afternoon weigh-ins are not good, at all. They kind of put a damper on my entire weekend, especially Sundays. I try to really not have pickles, condiments and really limit my salt on the day before weigh-in. I would like to be able to NOT be so rigid on the weekends. I need to enjoy and relax on my two days off!
I AM going to go marinade a yummy steak for later and clean my fridge out.......steak GOOD....cleaning out fridge...YUCKY! (So much food that I make for my kids goes to waste. I package it up and think that they will eat it later in the week, but they never do.)
This week, in addition to grilling more, I would like to start using the WF salad dressings. I feel like I need to mix things up a bit. I have been having only having oil and vingegar for lunch and dinner. I am beginning to realize that I have exactly the same thing everyday, and I am eating just to live. I would like to spice things up a bit and take more pleasure in what I am eating. The WF bacon salad dressing has 0 of everything, except fat. It has 4 grams of fat...not sugar, no anything else..(I would think that this would be the same as the olive oil fat in my oil and vinegar dressing?) Please let me know what experience you have all had with the dressings. I feel like I have gotten through the initial shock of OP, I have gotten used to the 4 cups of veges a day, and now I need to experiment with living happily this way, with things to look forward to. I also discovered grilled asparagus last night....not bad!
! Can't say that I blame her (even though I assured her that her health is important...I would be upset too!).
