ATTACK OF THE VEGGIES...

this is not a very upbeat (read serious rant) (not very cheerful) journal...i have to get it all out before i talk to my hubby about it...and as this is for all intents and purposes my journal for now, i need to put it down...so if you like the happy, upbeat, cheerful veggies - STOP READING NOW...she will be back tomorrow...

a couple of weeks ago i had a proceedure to stretch my uretha, today on the follow up it was closed up again,...i have 3 different meds to try (one each week) to determine which works best and then be on it for life... :-(

last week when the stomach issues surfaced again...that doc suggested getting tested for diabeties - tt my urologist today and he said the chronic infections and uretha issues could be a symptom of that...go figure... ;-(

and then again today - i start another freakin cycle...i have never had 2 cycles with only days inbetween...so i now need to call the ob doc and see what he says...;-/

to top it all off, with simon in the mix, i have just been eating whatever whenever and the scale is reflecting it...i know that you do not gain weight in a day or even really in 3 days...so this is for real weight, im going to post it...it is a combo of the really bad eating, the hormones and the other meds... :-{

im just so frustrated and defeated...im back up weight wise to where i started but size wise im still in a 10/12...so i dont get it...

i really dont want sympathy...i just needed to unload this stuff...if you've read this far - thank you...i will try to be back in form tomorrow and promise i will be upbeat in my responses to your journals...

ATTACK OF THE VEGGIES...

they havent attacked much but when they do they are starting to taste better...

i made an everything but lettuce salad...it had fresh from the garden, still warm tomatoes (yellow), cucumber, celery, banana peppers...not from the garden, craisens and almond slivers - maplefarms has a no sugar added italian dressing that is made with splenda...very good...
we had that with a crab dip that i got from imluuvd on toasted chips...

the other one is a tomoato stuffed pepper...purple peppers from the garden stuffed with tomato quarters, fresh basil, goat cheese adn a little evoo...baked at 350 - also very good...nxt time will put some egg plant cubes in them and serve on rice for a full dinner instead of side dish...

on a sad note...i had to put my niece (read puppy doggie) down yesterday night...was supposed to be "off" all weekend...ended up spending 7 hours on saturday at the vet, learning that simon had lymphoma and kidney failure...took her home on iv drip and on monday afterwork went and had to do the deed...not a great day...also on the way home on saturday - im within 1 mile of the house and i witness an auto accident...yuk...

so by way of explaination, im sorry i missed your journals and havent been around much...my mind has not been very positive the last couple of days...sorry...

have a great day everyone...

ATTACK OF THE VEGGIES...

time to come clean...lol...i have not weighed myself in 3 months and do not plan to hopefully ever again...and the reason why you ask?...

history - when i started sb 2 years ago i was a medical mess...i was years old beyond my youthful self...lol...

i have had kidney issues since i was about 12 - a kid, stomach issues showed up shortly after that and than in my 30's i started with menopause...

after starting sb all of the issues left except the meno crap - it was all food related and controlled...i thought i had it all licked - kicked out and on my way to a normal healthy life...welllllllllll (and there is always a well)...about a month or so ago, the bladder/kidney isses resurfaced (bloat and weight gain) and then last week the stomach issues came back...

last friday, i had a proceedure to open my uretha, scrape the bladder and kidneys...i have a permanent tumor (it is a fatty blob of blood) not deadly or anything - just a pain in the kidney..ha ha...

than today i was re-diagnosed with gastroparesis...i have attached some of the info about it below

Gastroparesis is a condition in which the muscles in your stomach don't function normally.

Ordinarily, strong muscular contractions propel food through your digestive tract. But in gastroparesis, the muscles in the wall of your stomach work poorly or not at all, preventing your stomach from emptying properly. This can interfere with digestion, cause nausea and vomiting, and play havoc with blood sugar levels and nutrition.

No available treatment can cure gastroparesis. Dietary changes and certain medications sometimes help control symptoms of gastroparesis, but they're not effective in every case. And the available gastroparesis drugs can cause serious side effects. Researchers are investigating other types of therapies for gastroparesis


Gastroparesis is the result of damage to the vagus nerve, which controls the movement of food through the digestive system. Instead of moving through the digestive tract normally, the food is retained in the stomach.

Gastroparesis may occur in people with type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes. The vagus nerve becomes damaged after years of high blood glucose, resulting in gastroparesis. In turn, gastroparesis contributes to poor blood glucose control.

Symptoms of gastroparesis include early fullness, abdominal pain, stomach spasms, heartburn, nausea, vomiting, bloating, gastroesophageal reflux, lack of appetite, and weight loss.

Gastroparesis is diagnosed with tests such as x rays, manometry, and gastric emptying scans.

Treatment includes dietary changes, oral medications, adjustments in insulin injections for people with diabetes, a jejunostomy tube, parenteral nutrition, gastric neurostimulators, or botulinum toxin.

so...i have to have a test done to see if i have diabeties and to see what effects the hormone changes have with all the new meds i am back on...

so to lighten this up a little...my vacation is in 5 weeks...yeah me...

thanks for reading
