May is cake month in our family. So many birthdays and mother's day. It's relentless. Also..I'd rather have pie! I don't have to eat it. I can share it. I can eat more steak. Some many chances to make the right choice.

I'm drinking more water this week.

Feel better soon. Glad you got some answers. So rest and heal!

Had an endoscopy on Friday.......after not feeling good for 43 days......they have determined that I have silent reflux and esophageal ulcers.  

Doctor says along the way that I did have mononuecleosis and hand, foot, and mouth disease !!  I just know that I have felt awful and wasn't getting any better than I was on March 21 when this all started.

 I am being treated with medicine to help the reflux (I had NO reflux symptoms...hence silent reflux) and another medicine to coat the ulcers so that they can heal.  I go back to the doctor in six weeks to see how I am doing.  Hopefully by then I am a lot better.  

My taste for food Is improving and the bile taste is better ( or I am getting used to it) ....still eating a lot of pasta because it is the only thing that really tastes good.  I am still very weak and want to sleep a lot. 

I am maintaining the 12 pounds weight loss from not being able to eat.  I hope to get Back On Track for real in the near future.

i hope all of you are doing well.   Have a healthy day !

Thanks for the support!! I know you are right that it is more than just the number that matters. I feel SO much better than I did before my surgery and I want to feel as good as I did before I had this regain. Like you said though, as long as we are trying then we can only succeed 

Well after a week of not only not seeing the scale move down but it actually went up I was very discouraged. I worked 3 hours over time on Saturday and had nothing prepared ahead of time for dinner (not good idea). So I used my birthday being Sunday as an 'excuse' to eat poorly ALL weekend! CARBS CARBS CARBS!! Normally I would give myself a break if it were just one meal for my birthday or heck even just that day. But seeing it was the whole weekend and I knew being discouraged over the scale was behind it makes me feel bad. I honestly don't understand why I was not losing? Until this weekend I had NOT been cheating at all, I was eating healthy food and drinking at least much more water than I had been. Feeling frustrated!! I hate feeling like 'why am I giving up and making healthy choices if I am not getting to see any results'? Anyways, back to trying again.
