It's been a week since I became ill. I am doing better. Once I finish the antibiotics I think I will feel ALOT better. They are harsh. I will be so glad to be able to walk and eat fiber again. It was amusing to be required to eat the foods I quit eating to improve my diet, but I am so over white bread and canned soup. Somebody please send over a salad! :D Have a great day all.

I am still trying to recover from diverticulitis. Will finish meds on Friday then hope to slowly increase fiber and do a little exercise. Trying to follow all instructions to keep myself out of hospital again. No one can tell me why I got this or how to keep it from happening again. I eat plenty of fiber, drink lots of water and get regular exercise. Guess I'll blame it on my age and my fat. I need a reason. I haven't felt that kind of pain since childbirth. Not looking forward to a recurrence. :( Hope you all are well. Thank you again for all the good wishes.

I spent half of yesterday in the emergency room getting fluids and IV antibiotics. I couldn't keep my meds down. Now I have anti-nausea meds to take b4 my other meds. Pain is somewhat better today. Thank you for all the good wishes in your comments. They were uplifting during a difficult couple of days. xoxo

What a day! Woke up with abdominal pain @5am. Thought it was gas or bad Chinese. By 11am was getting a little scared. Pain was terrible & abdomen tender. Called my Doc and managed to get in within the hour. Was so glad as I hate urgent care. :P He gave me a diagnosis of diverticulitis and sent me for a CT scan to confirm. OMG that stuff they make you drink!!! It took hours of waiting around and I was hurting so bad. :( Then the iodine IV leaked all over my arm and head! It dried like super glue. The scan confirmed it was diverticulitis so now I am on 2 antibotics and percoset. Oh, and a clear liquid diet for three days then a low fiber diet for a few more days. That's if I don't get worse and have to get IV antibotics at hospital. >:( So that's the scoop. See you in la la land. (this painkiller is crazy). xoxo

Good Morning! I have some good news to share. (I love sharing good news) Although I'm not losing pounds, grrrr, I have reduced my waist by 5 1/2 inches since I started this better way of eatng last June. 41 1/2 inches has become 36 inches. I have always been "apple shaped" and it became worse after quitting smoking and menopause, so this is very significant for me, my "trouble spot" you might say. Furthermore, when I had my checkup two months ago, I was fine except for my BP which was 150/105. I was quite upset by this. I went home, got on Fat Secret, changed my diet to the Dash diet and put sodium as part of my food journal. Then I signed off and went for a walk, which I have continued doing 4-5 days a week. Now, after 2 months, my BP is 110/70. I feel I have accomplished a good thing for myself and wanted to share with my FS friends. Thank you for all the support. There were, and will continue to be, days I couldn't get through without you. I am very grateful. Teri
