Tuesday-Whatcha Eatin? Moving at All In This Heat??

I ended up doing P90X Core Synergistics last night--tonight will be weights.  My daughter called me this morning to see if she can come work out with me, so that will be a nice change of pace.  Four days till I leave for the beach!!!  Yeay!!!

Oh, I ended up having the watermelon last night AND a NSA Klondike bar...yummo.

Today:

B-1 slice double fiber toast with PB and 1/2 banana (I only ate 1/2 of it--wasn't very hungry)
S-Kashi bar
L-Healthy Choice steamer-grilled basil chicken
S-grapes, Chobani peach yogurt
D-left over roast and cream corn

Dessert will likely be an ice cream bar again

Exercise will be P90X weights-too hot to go outside.

Question:  have any of yall had your gallbladder go bad on ya?  I've been having symptoms....and I just don't want another surgery..........how long between the symptoms and actually having to have it removed??  I really hoped I'd escape this possible issue...............

Gall Bladder - don't wait too long if that is what is wrong.  Infection can affect your liver and other organs.  I had no idea what was wrong with me but my the soles of my feet and the palms of my hands would itch so horribly that I would get a hair bruch and scratch them almost raw.  They told me that was from my liver.  I was jaundice and very near death.  I was in the hospital for over 2 weeks and honestly thought I was dying.  Today the surgery is a breeze.  My mother had her's taken out at 78 years of age.  She was only in the hospital overnight and did great!!!

B - oatmeal, coffee
S - cheese
L - I made chicken/rice casserole so I nibble on that
S - cheese or cottage cheese
D - more casserole

Going to the gym after work.

I will walk the dogs about a mile later on. If it were cooler, we could and would go further. I don't need 3 little dog with heat stroke. I am definitely doing the Kenpo X in just a bit.

Eats today are:
B - HiLo cereal, blueberries, strawberries, and carbmaster yogurt
S - If I have one will be a protein shake
L - Salad with some deli turkey on it
S - mayble some melba toast with laughing cow cheese or some genisoy chocolate mint chips
D - grilled pork tenderloin and broccoli. I will probably make my hubby some rice.
S - Hopefully none. I don't do well with after dinner snacks.

Kim, what type symptoms are you having? Are they worse after drinking or eating a milk product? Bad gallbladders don't like milk. When I was having trouble, I was throwing up everything so I thought yogurt would be so yummy. NOTTTTT!!!!! I didn't eat yogurt for almost 2 years after that.

You should probably have the gb checked out. I ended up having a stone in my common duct and was jaundiced. Luckily the stone moved and I didnt' have to have a common duct exploration, but the surgeon had prepared me for the worst. Like Debbie said, if it is infected it will be more difficult to remove the longer it stays in. I was a surgical tech for years and have assisted with the removal of many a bad gallbladder. Good luck.
 

Been in VA for the past few days visiting my new niece.  I am tired and grouchy....too much to do and no energy to do it all.  Going to take my vitamins....that I had not taken with me....thinking that should help.

B:  1/2 c fresh strawberries, 1 mini-bagel with cream cheese
L:   Grilled chicken wrap with cheese and lettuce, unsweet tea
S:   Smoked almonds and 4 cheese cubes
D:   Breakfast Burrito
S:   Iced Skinny Cinnamon Dolce from Starbucks...venti of course!

Working this evening so lots of walking and sweating!  LOL

If you are having problems with your gall bladder, I'd go ahead and get it out.  It will only get worse.  I had mine removed Dec. 09.   Your Dr. can test to see at what percentage it is working and let you know if it needs to go.   Good luck!

I guess when I get back from the beach I'll go check it out.........the symptoms I'm having are not all the time, but they are:

1) VERY gassy--feels like I'm blown up like a balloon.....worse after something fried or dairy, or if I eat a few bites too much
2)  Friday was the first time I had pain under my right ribs-not excrutiating, but very uncomfortable-it took the whole weekend before I felt "better"
3)  Clay colored stool (gross I know, but it is a symptom, and I wondered why that was happening!)

So far, this is what is going on....and it was infrequent, like maybe every 3 weeks....but now I'm noticing it more.......I'll go and get it checked when I get back--I promise!

Kim

Yep, it definitely sounds like gallbladder. Have fun at the beach, but have your doctor's appt. all lined up before you leave.

B-sandwich thin w/ pb
L-chef salad
S-chobani strawberry
D-rest of chef salad

its hot and we have football and im dreading it. ugh. OH and im ashamed to say that i havent even got p90x out of my trunk. :| Exercise and me just hate each other LOL

Hi Kim,

I am sorry you are hurting.  I had ONE gallbladder attack and scheduled surgery as soon as I possibly could.  I did not want to ever go through that again.  I thought I was dying.  I had my laparoscopic cholecystectomy on February 4, which was on a Thursday, and went back to work on Monday.  My job requires a lot of sitting and no lifting.  I also had a 5-month-old baby that I took care of completely by myself. 

I hope you feel much better and have no symptoms on your vacation.

Kim

Changed my lunch......ate at Firehouse Subs instead so I had the corned beef brisket with cheese and no mayo!  My first Firehouse experience!  It was good but I know there were waaaaayyyy too many carbs in that lunch.
