Way Too Long!

I know it's been way too long since I last wrote anything here. I had some stomach problems awhile back and ended up at the hospital once and in the doctor's office another time. I was having some kind of painful attack in my chest. At first I thought it was a heart attack becaue my jaw would go numb and I couldn't catch my breath. After several EKGs and an afternoon in the hospital having my stomack probed and tissue biopsied, the doctors have concluded that I had gastroindenitis (however that's spelled). They changed some of my medications and gave me something for the panic attacks I'd been having and I seem to be doing a lot better. If you want to know all the details you can read about it on my other blog, "Memoirs of a Gramma."

Any way, I'm still here struggling to loose a pound or two. I go down and then I seem to find my way back up. I do love the lap band though and would do it over and over again. I think it's the best decision concerning my weight that I've ever made. I feel better and better, my clothes are fitting much more comforatbly and I'm just overall happier about myself.


I seem to be over the chocolate addiction I was going through. I just couldn't get enough chocolate but finally, now, if I have more than one little piece I feel like I want to throw up (and I've done more than my share of throwing up.) If I eat too fast or don't take a breather between bites my food gets stuck and I end up in the bathroom with my head in the toilet. It was sad to see little Alie Kae last night mimicking me with her head over the toilet spitting in it like she's seen me do I guess. I didn't think she had ever seen me throw up but I guess she had. Little stinker!

Well, I guess I'd better go. I just finished ISAT testing for the day and had better head inside to get some work done. Thanks for listening. It really does give me strength to force myself onward toward that size 10. I think I'll treat myself to a new dress when I finally make it, that would be great!
