Day 10 - Your Guilty Pleasure

FOOD - more food - and FOOD!!!  I want to say, just kidding - but, I am not.  I love food - I think about food - I savor food - I enjoy food - I crave food.  It's a very difficult problem for an old fat woman - because if you want to control yourself, you have to find foods that are not going to cause you to become an even fatter woman.  You have to figure out what food you can enjoy. You have to find out your limits.

The next guilty pleasure is Diet Coke.  I drink it way more than I should drink it - I even drink it more than water.  It's not that it's delicious - cuz it really doesn't have a lot of flavorful taste - but, it is so dang refreshing!!!

My final guilty pleasure is everything girlie.  I love a facial.  I love a massage.  I love a manicure.  I love a new haircut and color. I love to get my eyebrows waxed and shaped.  I love a pedicure.  If anything, I love my pedicure the very most.  I love to stick my feet in that warm blue water and have my feet scrubbed, my toes buffed, my cuticles cleaned up, my calluses and cracks buffed down and my nails painted - and added with a cute little flower added to the big toe.  There is nothing better than feeling like a girl.  I really didn't become that high maintenance until after George died - until then I really didn't pay much attention to things like that.  But, once it was discovered, I found that I was the truest of all girls.

CoCo's Journey - How Did I Get Here??

Malabsorption - definition - Malabsorption is a state arising from abnormality of food nutrients across the gastrointestinal tract.  Impairment can be single or multiple nutrients depending on the abnormality.  This may lead to malnutrition and a variety of anaemias (blood disorders). I have heard the term before.  But the first time I had heard it in response to me was a little over a week ago.  I was with my roommate daughter at her appointment and her doctor pointed to IVY and said, what's up with that??  So I told him.  And he said, people have no idea how hard it is when you have malabsorption.  People think you can just eat to make it better, but you can't. So let's go to the beginning.... If you have known me at all in the last few decades, you know that I was "morbidly obese".  I topped out at 245 pounds.  I had Type 2 Diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid disease and stomach issues (gerd) for the last couple of decades and had taken...

CoCo's Journey - Answers!! Finally!!!

 Today I finally got answers!!!  I do not have Cirrhosis!!!  I am Pre-Cirrhotic.  Very close to that precipice but still not falling over the edge and falling into a place that I cannot get out of.  I had seen my gastric bypass doctor a while ago - and was given the wrong information.  I think he was looking at the headline and had not read the story.  It's something I'm good at, too.   My doctor explained that when I was overweight, the fat in my body was damaging my liver.  Then I had gastric bypass and that should have helped my fatty liver.  But, then I wasn't able to absorb the calories, so I became malnourished. My liver was not getting the proteins I needed in order to supply my body with the proper nourishment.  Every organ you have needs protein, and it starts in the liver.  So - the malnourishment started to affect my liver.  Leading to the state I'm in now. The thing I need to work on is getting off the diu...

CoCo's Journey - An update -- of sorts

 I was asked for an update.  So - I waited until my last appointment with my liver doctor to see what he was going to say.  What we were going to do.  What the hell is going on.   So - a little recap.  Mid August I was admitted to the hospital due to liver disease.  The initial diagnosis was cirrhosis of the liver due to malnutrition, which was caused by malabsorption. After a biopsy, that diagnosis was changed to pre-cirrhosis.  I had over two liters of fluid removed from my belly by needle aspiration the first day.  I left the hospital five days later with a PICC line with IV nutrition.  IV nutrition supplemented my regular diet for four months.  My PICC line was removed in December and now it's a matter of how my body adjusts as to what the steps are. Since August and having the IV nutrition, I gained over 40 pounds.  I was a little over 140 pounds when they disconnected IVY (my PICC line/nutrition/bag - that's her name...
