I had a bug...

Hey everyone, I found that I did have some kind of bug that was going around, two days before the really bad gurgling started I was sick all day and vomiting every time I moved, so the doctor said that the gurgling was most likely from the bug and that my pouch still couldn't handle foods so I had to go back to stage 2 for that day (clear fluids only). I am feeling much better not but I still get the gurgling. I think I get it when I eat to fast or eat to much. Its very painful and usually I end up throwing up when It happens. This is all so new to me and I know I still have a long ways before I truly know how my pouch works. Until then, I just need to slow down and remember that I now have a pouch instead of my big old stomach. I know things will get better in time. Once again its that time of the month and my weighloss has slowed down, I actually gained 2 pounds. (water retention) I'm not gonna stress over this Like I did the first month. I now understand what's going on and know that the weight will just melt off once this passes. I am down a total of 33 pounds. I started at a size 24 and am now in an 18 !!! 13 more pounds to go and I'll be under 200 for the first time in 7 years. I'm so excited. Anyway, I've missed you all and hope that you are all doing good. Kelley

I'm so glad to hear that you are OK. I was worried! Congratulations on your weight loss too! This is a big learning experience for all of us! Joy -33 lbs

My Kelley, Hunney... I wuz wonderin' where ya went! I'm glad to hear it was a bug. Seems that there's a couple of primo ones going 'round right now. But I'm glad you're over it. Going back to "runny stuff" and "slop" isn't as bad as it sounds 'cuz at least ya know that it's only for a little while 'til you can handle 'real' stuff again... How's Jose doin'? Give him 'n the kidlets my love...we'll catch up soon, 'kay? Love 'n misses! Kimmer Queen of the Niners, Instigator to All Marchers, High Priestess of Giggles

Hi Kimmer, I'm back on solid foods now and I've been doing ok with it. Although my morning eggs just didn't want to stay down. I think I'm just gonna live off of Taco Bells Pintos N cheese, My pouch seems to just love em. She has not gurgled at them once. As for Jose, Hes doing so good I'm jealous!!! SO Jealous! He has no problems with anything and he's already down just about 40 lbs. He'll be 2 weeks post op tomorrow and he went back to work today. I'm amazed at how well he's doing. Well I'm off to take the kids to the park (walking) I'll be back around later. Nice to see ya again Kimmer!! Kelley

Kelly, it sounds to me you are doing wonderful on that Weight Loss. Sorry about your bug, though. I am glad you are feeling well enough to come back on the boards. I am battling my own "bug" right now. Strept throat. Sucky thing... I start my new job on Monday and I still have not got my Z-Pack !!! I am soooo bad. Anyways...Jose is a man so he will lose faster. Hmm....I just cant help but wonder...what did men do that is so special they get all the good stuff??? Anyways....I am so glad to see you back on here. You were missed. Bethany
