New Weight Loss Plan - TMI

All I want to know is: does anyone have some vaseline you can send my way this morning??? Since last Tuesday I get a serious bout of diarehea every single time I eat. And one time is not enough - NO, I have to do things all the way. With every few bites I eat I get to go visit the john at least 4 to 5 times within a 20 minute time span. I wanted to lose weight but give me a break!!! I've dropped 8 pounds in 8 days and can't eat more than 3 or 4 bites of anything!! I have tried all the anti-diarehea the Cancer Center gave me and still no relief. I have a call into Dr. Barnes office and hope they can offer me another remedy. I'm drinking lots of water so that I don't get dehydrated but even water has a tendency to clean me out. It's funny but it's not funny. I look sick and I don't like looking sick. I could use your prayers if you don't mind. One good thing, when I'm not in the bathroom I feel really good and can laugh and joke about it but when it hits I am in serious pain and just want my mama.

On another note: I'm still able to work more than I thought I would. I'm on a little break from the chemo right now. I go back to the doctor Monday and we'll discuss starting the next round. The chemo won't be as strong but I'll still have to take the shot and that's what has been putting me to bed a day or two with every treatment.

I'll be doing my Christmas cards this weekend but just let me go ahead and wish everyone a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS. I'm wearing a pin this morning that says "HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS". I'll be wearing it until Dec. 26th. I'm proud to be a Christian and very blessed as well.

Love you guys,
DebbieDoo (I should change it to Debbie DooDoo) Salad Shooter is nothing compared to what I'm doing right now.

Oh Ihope you get some relief from the bathroom trips soon!

So do I Kim. I think I've worn a path from my desk to the bathroom. The receptionist just laughs when I go by her desk cause she knows where I'm headed.

Been there, done that myself....only mine was due to radiation treatments.  Nothing helped except for massive doses of Immodium D.  My oncologist said I could take as much as I needed to slow things down. 

Sorry you are not up to par.  Will keep you in my thoughts.

Sandi

So radiation can cause this too??? Not something I look forward to. No wonder people lose so much weight when going through cancer treatments. Thank you for replying and letting me know I am not alone in what I'm going through. I feel fine right now and probably will until lunch time. They told me to try drinking Ensure instead of eating so I'll do that today and see how it goes.

Got you on my list and keeping you there. Love you. MissMary

Cornstarch is better than Vaseline !!  I will be praying for you my friend
