My life

Coming off my anniversary week, we know what happens at times like that but that week I still dropped 5+ pounds. This week was another of those weeks. I had a good week. The day before weigh in is my wifes birthday. I treat her nice take her to a winery. Take her to a nice french resturant in Lincoln Nebraska called "The Green Gateau." Anyone wondering Gateau means cake in French. And for us it means more wine with dinner. The meals were wonderful. The Lobster Bisc soup was to die for. I do not want to think how many points this meal was a lone. My wife had the Green Gateau for desert she shared, I was just going to have a nice glass of sherry for desert, but she shared. The smell of my sherry about made her sick, sorry baby but it was good. Took her home and ...... well that was the end of that. Today went to see the surgeon and found out all my pain is from a bad gallbladder. The test they ran says when your gallbladder hits 30% it needs to come out mine was at 20% it really needs to come out. Surgery is Tuesday I am really scared. Then I had to see my primary doctor who realized I say him right before Memorial day and now today I was down 9 pounds started to get really worried saying your sicker than we thought. I said no doc I am a Weight Watcher and it really helps. I have been eating with little pains. He told me I made a believer out of him that Weight Watchers does work. So to weigh in tonight after the last 48 hours I am glad I did not gain I weighed in at an even 383 down 0.6 pounds. Well theres my week in a wrap up. I hope yours go better. Talk to you all later.

Update

Well life has been really crappy. I have not been able to eat due to a tooth problem. I had a infection in my tooth, gum and jaw. Been on antibiotics for about a week. I have not been able to eat due to extreme pain. I could not afford to have the root canal and crown done so I just had it pulled today. It came out in 4 pieces. Now that I have that over, on to the other problem. My gallbladder is bad. The hydascan confirmed that. I have to see surgeon on June 12th. I will not to continue to school this summer and will have to wait to the fall to start back. That now means I will not graduate until December 2010. My health is important though. I want to get my life back in track. Will keep everyone up to date.

It has become a tough time for me. I have been doing so well and then I have just hit a brick wall. In the last week I have been getting sick. I'm in the bathroom once or twice a hour. My energy levels are dropping. Tonight I was no longer able to run like I have been, my strength and endurance are gone. I saw my doctor today and he thinks my gall bladder is causing all this. He has scheduled a ultrasound for tomorrow morning. We need to get this process going and get me better so I can return to school, and continue to train. I have probably gained this week, due to lack of energy and motivation. I do not mind I want to get better. Good news is my blood pressure is under control 126/70 yeah. Doctor is happy with my weight loss, I told him get me better so I can keep going. I will update tomorrow when I hear something.

Well today was finals day. I passed Pharmacology II and Health Assessment. Yeah I'm done with school for 19 days. The things that sucks is the I start back to school on my wife and I seconds anniversary. It sucks but I'll get to see her after class. Tonight I had fire training. I back in my fire gear that I have not had on in over 6 months due to Lewis TFD taking a while about getting my fire gear from Carter Lake Fire department. This gear was specially fitted for me and my body. Now take in mind that so far since this gear was fitted to this point I am about 50 pounds lighter. It is big on me. That's a great thing. So we cut up a car tonight. We got the jaws of life out and also the cutter. Removed the doors. Took out the windshield with a glass saw that was fun, I think Abbie got pictures of that. Took the roof off using saws. It was fun. I can't wait to see what happens next.

I felt like crap

I have had a busy day. I had errands and went to study with other students. I have ate well all day. While studying one of the students is hispanic and decided to cook a authenic mexican dish, fried buritos. They respected me knowing that I have been working on loosing weight and offered me somethine else. I them I want to try one and have been doing well keeping my points low so it will be ok. They put them together and then cook them in canola oil or I should say fry them. I ate one and less than 20 minutes I was so sick. I was bloated severe abdominal and gas. I thought I was going to die. I thought I was having a gall bladder attack. I went home had diarrhea and pain rested a few hours feel a lot better now. Still having slight pain. My wife thinks that I have been eating so healthy that the greasy burito was a big shock to my body and did what it did. Lesson for now on avoid greasy foods. I do not want to feel like that again. On a lighter side I took a friend to the gym with me today and I kicked his ass. We worked out hard. Hard enought that later in the morning he texted me saying he felt like he was going to puke. I love working out.
