Something like that

Hello Friends and fellow bloggers. I hope your day is as beautiful as you are. Been a few days or maybe a week since I put anything up here, though, I’ve thought of it often. Some things transpired, kinda kicked me in the gut but now I’m back 🙂 a few weeks back I finally got my diagnosis on an illness I’ve been going through for the past year. Tests and more tests and doctors visits and frustration finally paid off. My husband was right all along. Of course he himself is in medicine so it was a no brainer. However, we had to have an actual confirmation from my doctor.

A mild case of Gastroparesis

If any of you don’t know what that is or haven’t ever heard of it, your not alone. Basically what it is, is a motility disorder with your stomach. You can eat but very little at a time over the course of the day because your stomach muscles fail to contract to digest your food and put it where it needs to be. I’m on a proton pump inhibitor for my Gerd and phenegran for nausea and a medication to take as need for cramping, bloating and pain that occurs when I eat. Not fun but…it’s alright. I do miss cheeseburgers and ice cream and Chinese food and my beloved chicken sandwiches. I’m told I can eat that stuff a little at a time but…I’m not braving that one. I know how I feel even after eating oatmeal at times.

So it is what it is

I longed for a tiny body when I was a teenager. Now I have it. Within this year I’ve lost about 15 to 20 pounds give or take. Doc says as long as my BMI stays up to where it should be I’ll be fine. I had to get a new wardrobe as all my other clothes were to big. I was at the last time before getting ill, in a size 14. Today, I can wear a size 5 and 6 and have a dress that’s a size four…mind boggling to me because I have always been a thicker girl. But I’m surrounded by a loving family, a great church but most of all, God. So enough of the pity. My next posts are Super exciting, even if it is just exciting to me 🙂
