I'm starting to get over my flu. I was in the E.R. on easter and april 1st to get fluids and pain meds. They actually gave me morphine which was fun.. ha. I learned first hand how horrible it feels to really throw up w/ the band... Terrible!!! luckily my band didnt slip which i was surprised cuz i was throwing up every 10-20 mins... other things were happening other than the puking. i wont go into that but it was terrible. I was so dehydrated after only a few hours that they couldnt get the IV in, it took 5 people to finally get it. that wasnt fun. And now i've missed three days of classes which is huge... not good. Also before i got this terrible thing i was having a fibromyalgia flare up which im sure is making me feel worse. i was finally able to eat a little yesterday so thats good.

I weighed my self yesterday and in three days i lost 12.5 lbs. i know thats not healthy but it's still exciting, because before i was sick i was really struggling i was not losing for a good month. So that's why i was so excited with a loss like that. I thought maybe the weight would come back on as i got better and was eating, but i lost another lb today. And that lb makes it a total of 40lbs!!! That's pretty big for me. And i think i need to celebrate it more than i am, because it is a big accomplishment, i havnt been able to tell that much of a difference in my clothes yet, but i'm hoping that's coming soon.
