My journey thus far had been completely complication free.. until last week. I was having stomach pain and assumed it was gas but two days later with my stomach so sore as though i had been working out a visit to the doctor would prove that it wasn't. I couldn't eat without what i can best call contractions in my stomach that hurt so intensely it would stop me and my tracks. Did a leak test and all was ok, 5 days later still hadn't eaten not even soft food.. stomach hurt to bad. I was taking pain killers just to make it thru the day and finally my doctor ordered a EGD. We assumed maybe scar tissue or a stricture but it wound up being stomach spasms. I experienced these immediately after surgery also but they weren't as intense. After 2 days of anti spasm meds i was back to normal. only positive thing i got out of all of it was it jump started me out of my stall AND i now know that i have healed great. The doctor said my staple line and stomach were excellent. I'm down to 202 now.. can't wait to pass the 200 mark.. but i can honestly blame myself for not getting all my protein in.. not to mention between all the med switching i stay nauseous.. so sometimes i don't want to eat.. working on it though,... fluid is not as hard to get in as it was as first but i have to remind myself ALL Day,... just started working out cardio for the most part right now,.. hopefully will see some results there.. check in soon.. keep pushing!

Glad it was just spasm.

On a side note you may like to be all fancy and like the pink but it is VERY hard to read and font is rather small too. I had to copy and paste what you wrote into Word just to read it.

I can't read it at all..sorry

happy that you are better now! I have to agree with deltadawn817 you need to at least make your font bigger, it is really tiny and very hard to read.

Glad you are better!

Oye....I thought it was my eyesight going! LOL! Yeah, the font is just way too tiny. I make mine BIG like this so I can read my own post easier before I hit "post." But anyway, I'm so glad to hear that you've finally gotten to the bottom of that horrible pain you were suffering! Sounds like you were having labor pains (ohhhh....I don't want a repeat of that, thank you very much)! Anyway, you're off & running now & I'm so happy for you!
