Nauseous and Bloated ....

 Ok ive been a very good girl for a week now ... running , crunching ,and all that ....  but yesterday I looked like a bloated flabby mess .   

I do eat carb s....   but usually they dont do this to me .  I stopped taking my ashwagaranda/ red yeast rice ayurvedic combination though  because I ran out of the ashwagaranda .  This is supposed to help with diabetic bloat  and help improve  syndrome /  diabetes in particular .  
 
Interesting that  not  having it is SO dramatic .  But i took it last night and woke up defined this morning ..interesting .   

Im also realizing i take nowhere near the amount of CALCIUM  citrate that I need .   My posture  deteriorated  significantly in just a week  plus on the boat partially because i couldnt take my heavy duty fossamax pill and also because  I didnt take enough  Calcium citrate with me .  

Wow is THAT scary when U see Ur posture  going from straightish to Old Lady in just a few days ... yikes !! 

Im thinking it might be a good thing to actually buy a vitamin holder and take all my vitamins regularly rather than sporadically ....hmm.  

Also to RUN first thing in the morning while its still cool rather than posting ...  Im not doing well with that  today though as U can see ....  

Got the engineering report for our new house .. 100 pages long !!!! YIKES  !!  well..we deserve a bit of money off I think .....  Im THRILLED about the house though .... we need a MORTGAGE now !!!! 

My landlord really went off on me verbally  yesterday ..... and I pretty much  gave it back to him and made him apologize .   Though it hurt my feelings it didnt really rock my world like it used to ( and certainly didn't make me want to EAT !!  YAY )  

The truth is  all I thought of was boy am I glad Im removing myself from this crazy, abusive old  guy who was just using me shamelessly  for everything he could get  while I was fat, unhealthy  and insecure... .....   

Not everything about our relationship is bad (  the free rent on the parlor floor of his brownstone for instance and the help he gives me driving me around and parking ... )  but the non- Ava friendly part is definitely changing and thats a GOOD thing .    Im proud of myself for pushing back and insisting on fair treatment ...both financially and verbally .  

Yep my life definitely has turned around since WLS .   Wow !!!  Thank God ...  Now off to the races ....

Each night I get my vitamins ready for the next day in one of the teeny tiny rubbermaid containers that aren't good for anything else. I used to bag them for the week in snack size ziplocs, but that was a lot of waste. I haven't found a container big enough to fit all of my pills in, but I always look.

I hear ya on running in the morning too. I can't make myself go at night right now. It will be fine once fall comes, but if I can't work out in the morning, I run on the treadmill in the evening. It's too humid and I doubt I could breathe properly.

Congrats on all of the exciting changes! It's so odd how WLS can change your life in so many ways beyond good health. I am so much more confident. I finally found a job, and today I am going to talk to an adviser about going back to college, because I feel I am worth more than what I will get paid being a secretary.

I wrote a nice long response... then my computer decided to reboot and do some updating - UGH...

Anyway - congrats on the house a 100 pages - WOW - that's a lot!  and I'm proud of you standing up to your landlord, especially since you go out of your way to put healthy, nutritious meals on his plate.  You could just put mac and cheese in front of him every day....

As far as vits goes I have been not doing so well with mine either.  I'm going to order the calcium citrate chews from BA - I like them and know I'll take them since they're like chocolately treats.  When I travel I take a larger old script bottle and throw my vits in it.  The bigger ones (probiotics prewrapped) I either take the bag with me or throw what I'll take in a ziplock baggie.  Of course I always bring some home....  I'm going to work on that...

I didn't recognize the supplements you talked about for the bloating.  I have days like that....

Now - go for that run! (yea, look who's talking - lol)
