soda is evil!

Good Morning everyone! It has been forever since I drank some soda. I had a few of sips of diet coke last night to see what I was missing.(I know now this probably wasnt the best idea given my problem.) Not only did it not sit right, lord have mercy, I felt like I was going to explode. The biggest burps where coming up. My son thought it my burps where the funniest thing. I will never do it again. I know I can drink it flat probably but nevermind. I swear I am going to go on a hunger strike like saddam hussein...but the problem w/hunger strikes, is you get hungry. ha. By the way, I am going in a few weeks to get the second opinion, which is good. We will see what he says. On a side note(mind you this might be TMI) I am still pooping out white poo. It is from all that baruim they made me drink when I did the upper GI last week. I drank like 5 bottles of that stuff over the period of the day. Gross. At least the zelnorm is working down there. Have a good day! Tavia

I am so happy to see your face on the board BUT STAY AWAY FROM THAT SODA lol I am very happy also you are getting that second opinion. You know i am here for you even if i have to sit on the bathroom floor and hide from my kids to talk to you! Feel good and dont forget our date! LisaMarie

Lisa, Of course I will not forget! Thanks and take care. Tavia

Hi Tavia, You KNOW that we are not suppose to have carbonated drinks--But actually, I am happy to see that you are feeling good enough to experiment! I did something similarly stupid last night--I ate half a cinnabun--Got sick as a dog! I am sticking to pure protein today--My stomach is still fussing at me for doing it wrong! Sometime I wonder why we do these things to ourselves-- We just want to verify that we have really changed --I guess --We really do need psychological any way --feel good, andBe Blessed, Marian S.C. 242/173/goal125-130??

Marian, Oh no you did not eat a cinnabun! I can't even image how you felt last night! ick! I would probably be in the hospital for a week if I ate that. Someone would have to pump it out of my roux limb. You are probably right, I just wanted to "verify" that I am in fact different now. *sigh* Lord have mercy, never again will I drink the evil soda! Take care.

Tavia, I swear that I will never try a stunt like that again--I am so still feeling the effects. I can't even stomach my sugar free latte today--I think that it will be a few days until I feel normal again. Talk about DUMB --I feel like DUMBERER! Well I learned the hard way--as my mom would have said--"Hard head makes for a sore behind" Be good Marian S.C.

Tavia, OH my goodness SODA!!!! Well, we all test our tool!!!! Why? It must be some deep phsycho stuff........Kind of like the teenager who doesnt think they will get pregnant or the speed demon who takes a chance on getting a ticket......sometimes we get away with it, but on the chance that we dont, we pay for it..........I found that out the other day with about 1/4 of a cup of those sweet potatoes from Boston Market......wasnt a good feeling at all, and I was at work....YUCK!!!! I hate getting sick, but at work it REALLY sucks!!!! 2 weeks until that second opinion.....o****il then.....no dr.'s or hospitals....stay safe...(no SODA)....and drive the long way if you have to not to pass any hospitals!!! you deserve a break!! love, Janean

Tavia, Hello hun. ~hugs~ it was nice to get to chat with you last night, I am so inspired by your good sense of humor in all of this. I know this has been tough and you are so very strong! Hey I wish that happens when I drink Diet Coke, I just have to sip slowly and it is fine. I notice that I am drinking more and more and I need to back it off though I still get my water in so I guess that is ok. Hun with all of us on this journey I do not think TMI applies anymore. Well take care Debra P

Hey Deb, I notice I feel mentally better and can manage my eating problem if I stay away from Drs and the hospital. Once they get near me, I become a wreck. I am beyond tired of being poked in my tummy. I poke back now. Thanks for your nice words, you are fabulous! Feel good.

Hi Tavia Oh I know what you mean about the soda I tried it once and that was enough for me I was foaming out the mouth like a mad dog......so nope i wont try that again either... Glad you are getting a second opinion and hope you are well soon..... Christine
