Ok, so I go and get my chest x-ray this morning and my esophogram. The process was simple but the barrium was horrible! I didn't like the way it taste and how thick it was going down. I had to do it twice because the first x-ray machine had some technical difficulties ugh! I'm so glad that's over with lol. I'm being dramatic it wasn't that bad but it was bad enough.

Orginally no they wanted a band placement to check for a slip. Since i was pregnant and could eat full portions and then some they did the barrium study.

I had my Barium Upper G.I. Series yesterday.

First sip of the liquid, I think, "Hey...this doesn't taste as bad as I thought it would".

Halfway through the procedure: "Ugh...another big swallow."

By the end of the procedure: "I think I'd rather have a root canal than drink any more of this @$&?!!!"

I sympathize with you, having to do it twice.

Don't worry, DeAna. It's not so bad that you won't be able to keep it down.

I took an esophogram w/barium, the GI test I believe there is a tube that goes down your throat.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
