…Heart On Her Sleeve…

so monday night, my mom and i hopped in the car and drove to ypsi for a recheck with dr pop on tuesday afternoon.  the reflux i was having was scaring me pretty badly, with the chest pains and the thinking i was dying and stuff.  it occured to me that the reflux happened after i ate a tomato-y soup/chili type thing, and maybe i should stop with the acidic foods.  once i blanded up my diet again, the pain and burn seemed to go away.

when i got in to see dr pop, he advised me to stop any and all acidic foods for another month and then slowly try to reintroduce.  the last two days i have hardly had any reflux at all, so i’m very VERY happy about that.

i’ve introduced cheese strings, very moist meats and hummus into my diet, so yay for variety.

my energy is back to about 90%.  big yay!

and finally, today is weigh day!  i dropped another 7.5 lbs this week!  thrilled about this!

for those keeping track, that’s 45 down since february (first consult at barix) and 25 down since my surgery on april 22nd.  can’t beat that with a stick!

i’ve been having some vicious acid reflux, which has been giving me some pretty alarming chest pain.  the chest pain itself freaks the shit out of me and gives me some bigtime anxiety.  i’m heading back to ypsi on tuesday for a recheck and to see what dr pop thinks about the matter.  perhaps i need some adjusting of my meds, right now i’m on zantac 150 twice a day.  otherwise i feel pretty good.  incision pain is muchly improved.  but i gotta get this reflux issue handled, because it’s very very very annoying and painful.
