Kidney stones

I just wanted to share with you my issues that I have the last couple of weeks. I had a female surgery done that is totally unrelated to my gastric bypass surgery. I started having cramps in the lower part of my left abdomen one Saturday night. I went to the ER and was treated for urinary infection. I had an allergic reaction to the antibiotic that was given to me in the ER and was rushed through ambulance back to the hospital the following day.  I spent 24 hours in the hospital doing additional test to make sure that I didn't have any more problems. I came home and followed up with my regular primary care physician. Four days later I started having the same pain in my lower left abdomen. I drove myself to the hospital to the ER to see what was going on. Low and behold I have a kidney stone. Lesson learned: drink, drink, drink, and drink ,drink drink more water!!! I am supposed to follow up this Thursday with my gastric bypass doctor, hopefully by the end I will have pants this kid

Labor Day food experiment

This is a late upload... Labor Day I made some Black beans and sweet potatoes slider burgers. I saw the recipe in Kroger and decided to give it a shot. I used black beans, sweet potatoes, and pepper jack cheese. I added a little bit of breadcrumbs to keep the burger together along with an egg. Put it on a slider bun with some ketchup and mustard... Very tasty! 

A minor setback

Last Friday I had day surgery (The surgery is totally unrelated to my gastric bypass). My doctor called to check on me yesterday and I asked when will I be able to exercise. She advised  me to wait until after my post op appointment with her.  My post op appointment with her is in a week and a half.I am about to lose my mind because I am not going to be able to exercise!!! I have been waking up at 4:45, And my body is conditioned to be at the gym by five a.m. Who ever  would have thought I would actually really really really really really really really miss exercising!!! I guess when your body is conditioned to do something it makes it easier to do! Therefore for the next week, no gym time for me. I guess I will catch up cleaning... Because at my house there is something always that needs to be cleaned.
