UGH...having the muchy blues!!!
Aug 14, 2008
I'm so stuck and feeling blue right now...having difficulty with the munchies! Not good munchies either! Family is trying REAL hard to support me and keep reminding me that I CAN be strong BUT I'm NOT strong right now!!
I feel sorta lost as I have recently moved to a new town/state, lost my line of support somewhat in Vancouver and just feel so disconnected. Today is a better day than yesterday but it's hard. Yesterday I just felt like sleeping all day and didn't want to be at work, felt worthless pretty much! Today is better as I found out that I will be staying longer at this temp job and it feels good to now that I am doing a good job here as my Rep wants to "clone me"!! LOL
I haven't been the best at taking my vitamins and I know that may have something to do with this feeling. So far this month I think that I have missed 3 days of vitamins. Not bad but I need to keep on top of it!! I'm going to start drinking more protein drinks again. I hate the feeling of being hungry ALL the time cuz I have a BAD BAD habit of caving in!! Thought about taking diet pills but can't do that cuz they are time released and that does me no good! I need to start going to support group somewhere but haven't had any luck in that either!!!
UGH...CAN ANYBODY HELP?????????

New Town update
Aug 10, 2008
Hello All,
It's Aug 2008 and it's been awhile since I posted last. Alot has happened since the last time I've been on...
Our family has moved to Clinton, Iowa. My Honey got a promo and was transferred. Although I really miss my friends in Vancouver, I do like it here. The pace is much slower and the climate is great!!
We took our first family vacation in many years and had a blast. We traveled to Eagle River, WI and stayed in a cabin by the water for 3 nights! It was so relaxing!! We did do a little sight seeing and went to Bond Falls, MI. Beautiful falls but nothing compared to Multnomah Falls in OR.
I have been looking for a support group in the area but am having no luck right now. They are all 30+ mins away from this town so I'm going to look into starting one here. I have gotten in touch with a couple of locals that have had the surgery but that's it. Things have been a little difficult to adjust to with my eating habits and all...I haven't gotten into a routine like I had in WA...not sure why it changed but I need to start looking deep inside to help change it. I did start taking my vitamins again and I think that will help! My family is behind me 100% so that helps also. I also think that the move itself jarred us as it was quite sudden BUT it is for the better for our family and that's whats important right now!
I hope that everyone is having a wonderful day and I promise that I will try to post at least once a week now, if not more!
I miss and love you all in Vanc!!

I'm back !! LOL

Ok, so I hope that the updates that I'm making to this updated site works...lol! It's been awhile since I've updated, sorry!
I'm doing alright, down 103lbs to date and am feeling pretty good. Had a follow up from my last hospital stay and now I'm onto a Gastroentorologist (sp?). Seems that even with the new meds that I'm on they are not really helping with the BM's. I was having one every day with this medication but lately they are coming few and far between!! Dr Cagle doesn't want to have to do another exploratory surgery but it may end up that way. There could be a kink, twist or blockage in my intestine but we will wait to see what the expert has to say! Other than that, I'm doing well.
Not exercising like I should be but I will be back in the gym soon.
My best friend was just put in the hospital today. I'm really worried because they are saying the "C" word!! I'm not very happy right now but am trying to be strong. We should have the results of the CT Scan in the am. Keeping my fingers crossed!!
Ok, need to go to some house work and do some relaxing as I have been at the hospital ALL DAY long! I'm really run down for doing nothing. I will also do some more updating on this new profile when I get back from the hospital tomorrow.
Talk to you all soon!!
