What's on your Tuesday Menu?
(sorry I'm late). Celebrate being you because you are AWESOME!!! Celebrate all year long, too! 
hey everyone!
I am late again...my brain has been so pre-occupied lately, I have been forgetting to log in and post in the mornings.
QOTD: when my brain won't shut off thinking about things I can't control---or thinking of ways TO control things that I am worried or stressed about...
It doesn't happen often, I am usually a sound sleeper and don't have trouble falling asleep but occasionally I will get these insomnia nights that I just can't seem to flip the switch!
B: coffee w/sf creamer, 1/2C cottage cheese and small nectarine
L: leftover meatloaf, green beans
S: greek L&F yogurt
D: DH is cooking again so not sure...maybe spaghetti squash and turkey sausages

Hi and Good Evening:
It was another incredibly hectic day at work. There was no chance for a break to post here earlier today!
QOTD: I am a chronic insomniac. I fall asleep easily, but an internal clock wakes me up at 1 am or 2 am every morning and I rarely get back to sleep! So I lay in bed for awhile mulling over my current concerns and then get up at a ridiculously early hour for the day.
Right now my concerns have been the problems I have had and continue to have since my RNY toward the end of August. Eating has been a trial for me.
First, I had a stricture that caused constant nausea and vomiting. That was corrected by EGD. Now, as soon as I eat some solid food and it hits my pouch, I get nauseated and a wicked headache. The nausea and headache can last up to 4 hours. By the time those symptoms go away, it's time for another meal--but, I'm reluctant to eat again and set the nausea and headache off again.
Has this happened to anyone else early in their post-op course? Does anyone know why this might be happening or have any suggestions on how I can live with this and still be able to meet my daily protein and fluid goals?
MEALS FOR TODAY:
My Menu has been in shambles. I haven't wanted to eat because of the symptoms I described above.
