My Happy Bunny today will explain the venting of me! It is back! All of you who know me will know that I had Gastric Bypass surgery almost three years ago as a last attempt to lose the extra person I was carrying around. After a year of hard work and lack of my favorite friend (food) I was able to lose 150 pounds. I am proud to say that I have kept this off and have tried and struggled so to do this. I still have chosen not to consume sugar, carbonated drinks and a few other things that make me sick due to the surgery. I also have had a few issues prior that just don't want to go away like stomache 'things'. I have been trying for almost 8 months to get rid of a yeast infection that has beed lingering in my throat, esophagus and down into my stomache. After blood tests, a scope of the throat and butt (let's not even go there) they can't figure out why. After the last doctors appointment they really thought that I could get rid of it, and it did go away for 4 weeks, but nope! It's back!
The list of things it does to me are as follows:

Difficulty swallowing - IE pain
Food / Water getting stuck in my throat - IE pain
Sore throat - to the point were it feels like someone is taking an exacto knife to it
Lips cracked on the sides - IE hard to open mouth without cracks opening to bleed
Tongue and lips red and caked in goo!
Stomache wrenched in pain when I eat - this is due to the yeast attaching itself to the sides of the stomache and no acid their to dissolve it and make it go away.

Now I get to go back in for another scope, good times, good times! I really don't mind the 'down' scope, it is the 'up' scope that I really don't care for. I would be lying if I said it doesn't worry me, it does! I am starting to have a little anxiety attack even as we speak. Other than this small worry that I carry around, things are okay. I am still working towards the triatholon, not so much to win, just to finish. I hope I don't drown.....he he he :~) Well enough blah, blah, blah, love ya!
