    Irritable Bowel, Grouchie Pouchie. SICK

    Started vomiting around 1 am. Upchucked 5 times. Woke at 3:30 am with explosive diarrhea and upper left quadrant pain. UGH! Just feeling yucky. Thought I would get up awhile and see if I could get my tummy to calm down.

    “Pouchie” is the nickname I gave my new stomach after Gastric Bypass.

    Gonna read some online news and then head back to bed to TRY and sleep .

    Exploratory Stomach Surgery August 10th

    Having exploratory gastric surgery on August 10th.UGH!

    Have to call tomorrow to schedule all my pre-surgical tests… labs, x-rays, etc.

    I should be released from the hospital that same day or the next.

    Scared but hopeful they will find out the cause of my pain and why I haven’t lost as much weight as I should have. Going through my navel to look at the roux-en-y Gastric Bypass region. Checking for hernia’s, adhesion’s, and God only knows what else.

    Dr Greg Mancini was comforting and supportive. Praise the Lord, I was so scared.

    I pray that it is easily repaired whatever it may be and that I can lose 50 additional or more pounds.

    No food or drink 12 hours before surgery. BUT I have decided “on my own” to do only liquids for 3-7 days prior to surgery in case he has to revise my gastric bypass. Nurse said it was ok for me to do.

    Doc scales says I weigh 13 more lbs that I thought I did.

    So frustrated, discouraged and depressed over what I call “my failed Gastric Bypass

    Please say a prayer for me, Dad and for Rosie.

    Went to Superior Vans and looked at handicapped mini-vans with lowered floors and built in ramps. (One that has a ramp that only needs one person to operate since it currently takes 2 people to get Rosie loaded and unloaded from our full-size Dodge 1500 van. It was late in the day so they are running a credit check on dad in the morning…. also checking all their locations for a van that is a color other than WHITE> I hate white vehicles! so we may be getting a new van soon. :-)

    If we do I plan on FINALLY getting my drivers license before I turn 45!!!!

    Didn’t sleep much last night and I am exhausted. Gonna FARM and then head to bed.

    Good Night and God Bless,

    Angela

    Gastric Bypass Surgeon

    Made an appt today to see My Gastric Bypass Surgeon Dr. Greg Mancini on Thursday to discuss the upper left quadrant pain that I have been experiencing. Will prolly end up scheduling exploratory surgery.

    A burden has been lifted and I feel so very blessed by God. Rosie now has a home health aid who can assist her *IF* (more like when) I do have to undergo surgery again. So glad that she and Rosie get along so well. She comes twice a week but we can schedule more visits *IF* warranted.

    Been discussing Gastric Bypass surgery for Rosie. She is still unsure about it. She and I were gonna have the surgery together last year but she backed out.

    Jesus *IF* It is your will for Rosie to have Weight Loss Surgery please guide her to the surgeon and the type of surgery she should have. I surrender it to thee.

    I am hoping that the surgeon does schedule exploratory surgery or better yet REVISION Surgery…. I have not lost the weight I wanted to lose. Down only 60 lbs since surgery (Sept 14th, 2009) 10.5 months ago. Would love to lose an additional 60 lbs or so.

    My wrist if now 5.5 inches. So tiny. Guess I am small-framed. Best weight for me would be around 135-155 or so. Today I weigh 210. Was down to 207. Fluctuating again.

    Dear Lord you have my life, my will, please show me the path to follow. Love You Jesus.

    Home health aid for Rosie

    Rosie just became eligible for home health care.

    Donna is Rosie’s aid. First visit was today. Washed Rosie’s hair, bathed her and changed her bedding. She is very nice.

    Hopefully *IF* I have to have exploratory surgery on my stomach or have a gastric bypass revision Donna will be able to assist Rosie while I am in the hospital.

    I want to thank God for answering my prayer for assistance with Rosie. Very blessed.

    Liquid diet-Day 4

    Doing better than I expected on the high proetin liquid diet. Averaging less than 700 calories and taking in over 100 grams protein.

    Can any one follow a 700 calorie diet for 4 days and gain weight???

    I can and have!!!!

    Frustrating.

    My metabolism must be a wreck!!!

    But I am sticking with this diet for 2 weeks and moving onto pureed foods.

    I am gonna weigh less than 200 lbs by Sept 14th!!!!! Sept 14th is the one year anniversary of my gastric bypass.

    I may call my surgeon if I cant lose weight on all liquids. Maybe he can help.

    I am willing to have him go in and look around to see what my previous surgery looks like. I am certain something is not right since I am not losing weight like I should be.

    I have been doing isometric exercises and stretching. With Fibromyalgia I can’t do all I want to.

    Billy Zane News: “Double Lives”

    Irish actor Pierce Brosnan has signed up to star in the Chinese-American co-production of “Double Lives” estimated to have a budget of $100 million.

    Brosnan will star alongside Billy Zane and Brit Morgan.

    The director, Rob Cohen, collaborated with Jet Li in “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor” in 2008 which was also a Chinese-American co-production.

    Although Brosnan was absent from a press conference that took place in China last week, Zane, who played Rose’s fiancé Caledon ‘Cal’ Hockley in the “Titanic” and Morgan, who plays Debbie Pelt in “True Blood”, both attended.

    Brosnan sent an email apologizing for his absence and promised to take part in the filming, which begins in September.

    Cohen said he plans to use a strong Chinese element to this new movie including using a lot of Chinese actors.

    Zane said the movie is a story about a treasure hunt while police from China and the U.S. work together to track down an international criminal. The actor said the film had comedic elements similar to Jim Carrey‘s style.

    It is reported the cast crew will visit some outdoor lots in Beijing, Hangzhou and Hengdian, preparing for the film’s shooting.
