Health update I guess.
9 years ago
Because I have nothing to do but sit around literally all day at the computer and wait until my exam on thursday. I woke up, thankfully, with my gallstones/gallbladder having settled down enough to where they generally don't hurt at all and only hurt a bit when I inhale all the way or move around too much. My main problem now is trying to stay fed. Because gallstones are caused by eating too much fat, I'm basically dieting right now, and as always when dieting I am fuuuuuuuucked because I hate the taste of literally 80-some percent of everything, and there's only so long I can sit here eating tiny oranges, celery and drinking strawberry v8. My sugar consumption has gone up considerably, only really offset by having completely sworn off pop/soda/coke/whatever you want to call it entirely. Hopefully I can get my issues taken care of before I become diabetic on top of everything else. The only way I'm going to recover from this is losing even more weight. I used to be over 400 to the point where I'd stopped checking because it was getting depressing; when I got weighed when I checked into the ER, I'm already down to 335. I'm hoping my weight loss doesn't become too drastic because right now I kind of feel like I might actually be starving myself.

I really hope things get a bit easier for you, can only imagine the pain and discomfort. Hang in there dude, every little bit helps, keep working towards your goals!
At this point most of the pain is gone, as long as I don't breathe in too deeply (like, say, yawning, or laughing hard); haven't bothered with the painkillers since monday morning. it's just kind of this millstone on my life, preventing me from working, leaving me stuck sitting/laying in bed 23 hours out of the day, waiting for thursday morning so I can get looked at, at which point there will probably be enough moving and prodding and examining for the pain to start up again, then an as of yet unknown period of waiting after that (which I really, REALLY hope will not be significant or I'm going to risk losing my job) before I can get treated for it, which from everything I've seen has like a 80% chance (probably higher, but I really want to maintain hope) of them laproscopically (or if I'm unlucky, openly) removing my gallbladder, which will significantly reduce my ability to digest fat. (Heh... I was always more of a fan of endosoma anyways...) Which means I either have to change my diet, which honestly I needed to do anyways, this just means I have no choice. Here's hoping this means I can lose enough weight to hopefully avoid diabetes (in spite of the fact that most of what's left for me to eat has high sugar...) and other cholesterol issues.
