Topic: RE: Update, Question
Hope you feel better soon Becky and the doc can help figure things out with you.
I've been having the lo-blood sugar issues also and started upping the fresh veggies and fruits and trying to get in at least 1 protein drink ea day as well as trying to avoid the simple processed carbs ( not 100% successfully, I admit) Went back to buying the cheese sticks and eating them for snacks and I haven't had the shakes and sweats for 2 days.
With all these things going on it can make ya feel blue. Wishing you a burst of fresh sunshine

Topic: RE: Pouch spasms?
Hi Kim, I haven't experienced this since wls but before when I had severe reflux I had something like it quite often. Mine was gastritis which simply meant (for me) irritation and some inflammation of the gastric tissues, primarily from the acid. It caused alot of pain. It makes sense that the overeating may trigger the pain and spasms. Which means the "pouchie" is doing it's job of trying to re-train us with portions. Hope you feel better soon. It's always a good idea to ask the doc if it persists, tho. 
Maybe you'll get some feedback from the ladies here that may help with the mystery.
It is good to have you post.

April,
That is great news. 15 years ago when I went to nursing school, I was on the alternate list too and got in at the last minute. Congrats! You will do just fine.

Topic: Long over due update
Hello everyone-
Yesterday I got a phone call and guess what I got into the LPN program! I was told August 3rd that I was not accepted, but some people did not show up and I got in! THANK YOU LORD! He has truly blessed me. So Monday I goto 8 am for orientation. Then I have to have a physical and as long as I pass I am in. Thank You Lord. My weight is still bouncing 136 to 139 depends on the time of the month. LOL! Well I couldn't sleep because I was hungry so I got up and ate lol. Now back to bed.
April
Yea it is short. Sleepy LOL!
Topic: RE: Update, Question
Becky - It's not just b12 that can cause that. Any of the B's getting out of whack can cause drop foot and neuropathy. Mine was either B1 or B6 (can't remember). So if the B12 is good, then check some of the other b's.

Topic: Pouch spasms?
Have you ever over- eaten or ate bread/pasta and the next day have a spasm like pain under your left breast bone area? It hurts sometimes when I inhale deeply. And usually goes away in a day or 2. I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I am not sure if it is from over eating or not or if it's not even pouch related.
At first I thought it was gas trapped but I am not bloated or gas-y. I am not looking for medical advice. I just want to know if this is normal or not when I mis-behave.
