So, my dr after I was running a fever of 103.3, put me on antibiotics and prilosec for the rotten acid reflux.  Last night I got my horse pills of antibiotics and of course had to crush them. I about threw up after taking them. This morning taking the antibiotics and prilosec again I gagged, mouth watered, but I didnt get sick. Now, I just took my prilosec with cottage cheese. My mouth started watering, ran to the bathroom and threw up, literally.
WHAT Is going on with me? Anyone else have open RNY and have this many problems? Im scared to take my darn antibiotics in a bit cuz Im sure Ill get sick after taking them too. Im very shocked he didnt give me a liquid, maybe antibiotics dont come in liquid? I dont know. I have no appetite. I know Im literally starving myself. I had yogurt this morning at 6am.  Just tried cottage cheese at 1:30pm and puked it up with the meds Im sure.
This is frustrating. I still have my reflux too despite taking prilosec. I dont know what to do anymore. and I do NOT want to lose my hair but I cant get my protein in either. The thought of my protein shakes makes me wanna puke. HELP!

 I know why we stay here.  Good people.  I was watching the nat'l news last night, they had a little blurb about all the people in Fargo pitching in to sandbag and prepare.  I couldn't help but note that the "tone" of the story was kind of incredulous.... that there were all these people helping out total strangers.  Boy, are we backwards or what?  Helping each other out.  There must be something wrong with us North Dakotans.  I haven't heard any blame being thrown around yet either.  

We had the freezing rain and thunderblizzard on Monday night... we've dug ourselves out and it's business as usual.  Just a "normal" ND winter like I remember as a kid.  We haven't had one of these in a long time, I guess we were overdue.

Woke up to icy roads and snowy travel conditions this morning.  Also heard that part of I-29 was closing so felt we better hit the road and get to Fargo.  Road was terrible but made it okay.  At 2:00 I get my call from the hospital notifying me that I need to report to the hospital at 5:15 AM for my surgery which is scheduled from 7:15-10:00.  By 3:30 I had been called back and told that Meritcare was shutting down many of it's operations and all surgeries were cancelled.  Though the weather was bad and we had already paid for the room we were in, we felt we should hurry and get back on the road to home before the conditions got any worse.  We were packed up in less than 10 minutes.  By the time we were leaving the motel they had already shut down the elevator.  We were told they were turning off the power as the motel was taking on water.  As disappointed as I was that my surgery was being cancelled, at this point we were just sad for the people of Fargo.  I am told to stay ready and continue the liquid diet and as soon as things are back up and running I would be the first one contacted to fill in any openings in the surgical schedule.  And so I wait.......................  

After my scope last week with Wroblewski, they put me back on step 2, however, today I can go to step 3 and Im excited. FORKABLE FOODS:) Mom is making us walleye for supper. Im not a good fish cooker so thats where mom comes in*ha* I had tried tuna before my scoping and it worked good. I LOVE fish, tuna, etc so no problem there. im even thinking braunschweiger for protein. As weird as it sounds, I love that stuff too and its def mushy!  Cottage cheese works awesome. I need to get more, maybe run out after mom gets home today.  She baked a yam earlier. I think Ill try that, too.  Yogurt, I didnt find much in fargo with little sugar. I found a kemps one in park rapids that has 8 grams. The other day i bought activia here in Jmst and that works good too. I open the prilosec capsule and put it in there to take.  You are making me hungry now, which is probably a good thing:)

Thanks for the tips Kelly. I appreciate it.

Where are the support groups? When? Is it Rachel Rudel?*sp* I am not fond of that lady so I may have a hard time going to groups she runs.

Shelber....I am so happy for you that your surgery is still on.
Speedy recovery friend and welcome to the losers' bench...even if you need a boat to get there.  PUN!!!
Seriously, best wishes to you and let us know how things are going for you.  We were so fortunate to escape any flooding or blizzard the past few days here in Williston.  My thoughts and prayers for those in the state not as fortunate as we are.
