Ty. Seems nothing has went as planned.but I'll get better after theses few bumps. I pray I do. :)

How are all the August folks doing?

Doing better than I was. N down 36lb.

I go Tomoro to find out my labs. :/ my family dr. has already told me to drink more. Which is hard for me. I'm just not a big drinker. But i'm doing better. Today was the first day I got to go back to the Ymca n I got in the pool n just took it slow today.

How are you?

Had a scare with crippling stomach pain and vomiting. After a trip to the ER and many tests later, the doctors determined it to be excess acid. I wasn't taking my liquid antacid because I wasn't having acid reflux. Apparently, I'm supposed to take it every day anyways. I've been taking it and feel great!

On a positive note, I'm down 37 lbs and have taken up Zumba. I couldn't do Zumba 37 lbs ago because my feet hurt so bad.

I went back to my dr. yesterday for my 6wk check up n he said i'm doing good. N the pain will go away just hang in there. And i've lost 36lb.

He has gave me my first goal. It is 28lb to be down wen I return to him in 6 wks. I Hope I can do it!. I finally got to start exercising this week. Its only in water but its something anyway. Im glad i'm able to do that. :)

I never had that but I did become a open cut due to scar tissue.

Wat caused u to have the bypass the next day?

Yes! Make sure you take it everyday. You could develop and ulcer. I'm supposed to take it twice a day and it tastes terrible. So bad my body involuntary shutters after taking it.
