What's on your Tuesday Menu, RNYers?

I'm sure Grim would do an awesome job! When first started working out in the gym when I lost weight several years ago, I found that there were some people who were very happy to show me how to use the machines. I know it can still be intimidating but some people love to help others. You can do this! :)

Morning JB and menu crew! JB (and others) I get to join you all in the ulcer crew. Well pretty sure its an ulcer. My family doctor is away on sabbatical in Israel for a month so I went to a walk in clinic yesterday and the doctor there was pretty sure its an ulcer, started me on Omeprazole daily for 6 weeks and then if not better when I see my family doc on June 12th get an scope ordered. What is weird is I am dizzy and nauseous all the time. When I try to eat or drink I gag and the nauseousness gets even worse. There is something going around work (I work at a hospital) and many of my co workers are home sick with flu like symptoms so I am not sure if I have the ulcer and a bit of the flu, but being constantly nauseous is hard to drink. I am doing my best everything tastes gross and bitter, like if I let a non coated Tylenol dissolve in my mouth, that is the "taste" I have constantly, its horrible. And when I cough its like I am going to throw up! I have been feeling like this since last week, started Wednesday and progressively got worse, Sunday I literally could not move off the couch, to turn my head I was throwing up! HELP!

I have no menu, just trying to get liquids in, don't care about food right now, just need to keep hydrated.

JB I hope the job is perfect for you and that you can get all this done & wrapped up before your trip. Great job on the clean eating! Impressive!!

QOTD: on the weekend we were at hubby's cousins' house and one cousin had made Nutella cake. I would have normally had a few bites but since I feel so off and crappy I said no thanks, so not really resisting for the sake of resisting but saying no because I was feeling so gross.

Great menu JB and great stats, you are rockin' the "get these last few pounds off", keep up the great work!

Have a great day everyone!

Hi Daisy, sorry to read that you are not feeling well. Hopefully the meds you were given kick in and you start to feel better soon! Take care of yourself and definitely try to stay hydrated!

Thanks Ginny

I hate that feeling- I'm still on protonix but only take it every 2 days or so. I'm almost wondering if there is a poop connection (I.E. not pooping/causing backup) but that is a theory that I have not proven.

There is a poop connection. When I was having all my issues, my surgeon described the digestive tract as a really long garden hose. He said when there's a kink in the hose everything backs up at that point. Acid, poop, etc. One thing gets out of balance and it's like a chain reaction . . . but that's just one man's opinion

I have noticed that my acid is worse on days following not pooping for 2 days. Surgeon says a bowel movement every 3 days is normal but I'm not playing that game. I notice the acid then more when I have not gone.

thanks Hillary so far so good on the poop front but I agree with you its totally a "thing"

There definitely is a connection for me. After a couple of days my appetite disappears, and by the third/fourth day I have low grade nausea.
