What a week!!!!!!!!!

The week started out great. I went to the Y on Monday to see how I felt using the stationary bike. I did 2 miles on the bike and felt great. I know that's not much but I thought it was a good start. On Tuesday I went back and did a fitness assessment. I was psyched to learn how to use a variety of machines to start toning up.

My plan was to go again on Thursday, but Wednesday night I started having lots of pain. I guess I had been trying too many foods that it was too soon to eat. The final straw was a piece of meatloaf on Wed. for dinner. Within an hour I was in severe pain. I didn't sleep much that night or the next.

I finally saw the doctor on Friday. It may be gallstones (30% of people who have gastric bypass end up with gallstones). They also thought I had an UTI (urinary track infection - not the auto tech school).

I feel so stupid - I rushed the process. It was too soon to eat something like meatloaf. It will be a long, long time before I try it again.

It is now Sunday, and I am still not 100%. I was supposed to go back to work tomorrow, but, I am putting it off for a couple more days.

I have learned my lesson. The guidelines provided by the WLS team at Stanford work - if you follow them. I will not stray again.

Although it wasn't a Happy Easter for me, I hope it was for all of you.
