Lord I am having a bad day

This all started last night.   I ate mushies and took my pills but i ate too fast and took my pills to fast... i am 14 days post op.   ok i know i took it all to fast and i was in a hurry but i ended up tossing my cookies twice last night.   I decided to take it easy today... but again woke up late and ran around my house with my head cut off.   I took my pills grabbed my shake and left.   by the time i got to work i felt like crap... one of my pills that i cut in half seemed to have gotten caught in my throat then it seems i started spitting up part pill and flem.... my stomach has been upset all day.   I have drank my shakes but i still feel the need to throw up... well that is my day... I go to the doctor tomorrow... but needed to vent on the net.

I'm so sorry you aren't feeling well.  I don't know much about the band so, hopefully, Deb will be along shortly with some wise words!  In the meantime, I'll be thinking about you and sending some good vibes your way!

Just take it easy.  Try eating SF popcicles, they always calmed my tummy.  In the beginning, I could not take pills and shake at same time.  Had to allow time between them.

Hope you feel better soon.

Yikes! Sounds like a bad day. Eating slow is hard to do. I ate some refried beans and cheese tonight to a timer that went off every 5 minutes. It was hard, but I did ok. Maybe next time you can try that till you get use to eating slow.

I am so sorry you feel bad and I hope you feel better soon!

Hugs it will get better.

Been there, done that-it truly sucks.  One of the first things the band will teach you is it doesn't care about schedules or getting to work on time.  Anytime I'm leaving the house before 10 am (for any appointment) I just plan on a liquid breakfast.  I know I know, we are supposed to get our nutrition from solid food, but if I have to BE somewhere, even if I make time to sit down and chew and eat slowly, I get distracted and then I get stuck.  Log in to the band board and 27 people will tell you that I'm not making time for myself, I DESERVE to sit and eat, and I agree, i do deserve, but reality is, if I have to be somewhere in the morning, I plan on a liquid breakfast.  (I just repeated myself...LOL).

Now, pills, they are sneaky little farts at best.  They FEEL like they've gone down, the way is clear for another, and yet they aren't.  I try to spread them out over the course of the day-which was hard for me since I was a take a handful in the morning and go kind of girl.  Never take a pill on an empty stomach.  If it makes it through your stoma and hits an empty stomach, it may just try to come back up.  Only, there won't be anything in there to pu**** up, so it just flops around while you drive heave and that bites.  Or, you just get nauseous, and at least for me, once I have pill nausea, nothing fixes it but time.

 

Again, for me, solid food is only when I can sit and eat and chew.  Eating on the run is not a part of my lifestyle any longer.  If you are a committed to a solid breakfast, start the day with a  liquid snack of some sort, then eat when you get to the office.  

 

 

Sorry you had a bad day. You are going to have to take the time to eat slower and take your pills slower or you will continue to feel this way. Best of luck.

Trust me I know the feeling, from what everyone tells me it gets better but I can say if you drink too fast it does hurt. Hugs i think we both need them, hey you free tonight we can spoon...lol( everyone I am SO joking, smile it gets better)

Well my doctor is different he recommends a protien meal replacement at least once a day especially early out.  He feels that you need that easy protien source in addition to the solid food  everyday. Doeshe nwant you to get as much as possible ib teh form of real food yes he does but he also wants to make sur etaht you hit your protien goal. I am with Deb as my life starts early and at a dead run I do a liquid breakfast 95% of the time. Then a snack mid morning (high protien) then eat my normal meals.
