Stress test

I had my chemical stress test yesterday. It was not as bad as I anticipated. The only thing I noticed during the test was a funny (indescribable) taste in my mouth and then later a very bad headache. I went home after the test and laid down for a while, fell asleep and when I woke up it was gone. The craziest thing was that after the injection of the chemical and isotope, I needed to wait about an hour, at this point the doctor ordered a FATTY MEAL!. That was a first, so I have fried chcken tenders, french fries, and a brownie. This helps the chemicals to go to you heart and the films are better. PRETTY WILD! Anyway, not a bad experience at all.

My journey begins

I have started my lap band journey. I have attended the seminar, had my lab work done, sleep study, and started a 6 month supervised nutrition program required by my insurance company. I have had the PFTS. I also need to get a cardiology clearance. I have lost 10 pounds since I began the supervised nutrition program. Staying off of all things white has been surprisingly better than I thought. I do however cheat on Sunday since we go out after church and eat. I was surprised that last week (1st week) I was not a enticed and ate less than I usually do - only 2 tortillas- yeah!!!

Banded 6/29

I was banded on 6/29. Feeling pretty good today. Off pain meds since day 3, trying to stay hydrated. The liquids are getting to be a bit boring. Hopefully, next week with full liquids, things will be tastier. I have enjoyed the Special K protein strawberry and kiwi drink. The hot and sour soup recipe has been great and the basil broth also. I found some sf flavor ice sticks at the store and they are pretty tasty, espeially after the sore throat. sf popsicles have been a life saver too. Made it through Sunday school and lunc after with my protein drink. The achiness in the shoulders and the soreness is dimishing. I got on the scale today and have already lost weight. Need to domy measurements so I can keep track.

1/31/10

I had my cardiology consult. Dr said machine said I had a slightly abnormal EKG but he did not see anything impressive but I have to have a stress test. Since I cannot walk/run I will need to have a chamically induced stress test - my husband has had this done and said I am in for a surprise. O well whatever it takes to get cleared. The cardiologist said that I also have some mild sleep apnea.
