I have been allowed new foods this week, so I was trying one of them this week: salmon! I sprayed Pam in the pan and 'fried' it. Maybe ONE- two ounces. Well, I knew it was too dry,but added a bit of liquid and enjoyed it. I chewed a whole lot. That was at 5 PM. By 9 PM my stomach was hurting so bad. Cramping. Horrible pains. Nothing I could do helped! By midnight it was excruciating. I seriously considered I might be dying. I figure that the food was stuck and I am sure it was! At 3:00 AM I phoned the emergency number for my surgeon. He phoned me back and told me if it did not get better within two hours to go to the ER! He did not act like it was life or death, so that calmed me a bit. By 4:30 AM, I was dozing and my stomach finally was calming down! Thank you, God!!

Today, I have had liquids ONLY and am afraid to try anything new. Please be careful everyone. It was a horrendous night that I would not wish on my worst enemy.

Oh you poor thing. I have been feeling like everything is going down a bit too easy and I'm worried when that one food is gonna--WHAM!--hit me like a ton of bricks. I hope you get over the worried feeling and can enjoy food again soon.

Take it easy!
