Stefanie


sometimes I feel defeated, just like when will it ever end you know?!

I know exactly what you mean by that Stefanie! The last few weeks I have been on and off again. I will go a few days and be able to eat any of the foods I usually do without any problems, but then it seems that I can't eat anything without getting bloated and gassy. And I mean bloated when I say it, for I look like I'm pregnant! The bloating makes my stomach muscles tighten up and I can belch like a 300 pound man! FRUSTRATION!!!!

Thankfully, I have been having normal bowel movements, but I am still so frustrated somedays.

But Stefanie, I am glad that we can share something else in common. This will probably sound quite corny, but I feel some sort of connection to you, as we both have had open heart surgery. Somedays it does all seem too much, I'm only 20 years old, and sometimes I just have to cry to let it all out.

But alas, it seems it is something I will continue to battle. Thanks again Stefanie for sharing your heart story, though I still don't quite understand your condition. I hope you are doing well and keep fighting, we're all in this together!
