Saturday, July 20th, Cardio & Cafe

Good evening, BOTT friends,

 

PC is in RARE FORM tonight...acting like a possessed FOOL, lol!  I've had a very eventful day.  Got up late (after noon), did my bike workout for 72 mins, covering 10.1 miles, and felt great except for some mild back pain.  Ate brunch after my meds (granddaughter ate the same meal), and since then absolutely nothing is staying down...not even water.  Drank coffee during my workout and ate my meal with no problem.

I feel like my stoma is blocked...very full, bloated, gassy and no appetite whatsoever.  I ate nothing unusual, and my granddaughter is fine after eating the same thing.  If my appetite gets better,I might try a plain vanilla protein shake with lots of ice and blend to a slurpee consistency, then eat it with a spoon.  If this persists, I'll see my doc on Mon, unless I develop pain or cannot drink at all (have to avoid dehydration).  Today I ate:

 

Brunch:  2 eggs and 1 egg white, 2 slices chopped low sodium deli ham, 1/2 oz shredded cheddar, 1/2 c blueberries

 

Hope everyone has a great weekend, and as Tess says, "remember those vits and fluids" :)

Hope it's not a blockage or a nasty stomach bug. If you still can't keep even sips of water down by tomorrow, please head to the ER...it's nothing to wait on. Keeping you in my thoughts!

Started our morning with a 5k (me) and 10k (hubby). Beautiful day for it...68 degrees, humidity broke overnight, breezy. Then Zemba Circuit followed by power shopping for weekly groceries plus things we'll need for a one week vacation starting the end of next week.

B protein smoothie
S quest bar
L salad (lettuce, buffalo chicken, crumbled blue cheese, ranch)
D steak with sautéed mushrooms & onions

Sleep well all!

Thanks, Tigs.  I vomited around 10:30 pm, and "felt" something solid, but didn't see it...could've been my huge horse pill vitamin tab, but it's never caused a problem before.  But I actually started to feel like my pouch wasn't as full about an hr later, so I started with small sips of water.  They stayed down.  Still no appetite, and still feel like I've eaten.  It's after 2 am, and I'm finishing my plain vanilla protein shake now.  No solids tonight. 

Congrats to you and your hubby for your marathons.  That is such an accomplishment, but not for me (I'm no runner, lol).  Glad the weather cooperated.  Have a great weekend :) 

Hi Sheila. Glad to see you doing better. It mash have been the big pill. I know I have as very hard time with the pig pills. They feel like they get stuck and irritate other stoma. Some of them slightly expand as they are dissolving and that make them worse. I break big pills into - 2 - 3 pieces.

Thanks, H.a.l.a.  I think it was the pills too.  I actually took the vitamin, stool softener, my BP pill and my pain pill at the same time (like I usually do), but the thing I did differently was took them with just a couple sips of water because I was about to eat, and didn't want my pouch full of fluid.  The only other liquid I had consumed was coffee, about an hr before the pills.  I think the pills just sat there in a big clump, then food on top, and being that I wait an hr to drink after meals, nothing moved.  So when I did drink, everything that went in just backed out :)

But I'm fine now, took my morning meds with lots of water (broke the horse pills in half).  Have a great Sunday :)

testing

sorry folks...trying to update my ticker and can't delete the old one.  I now have 1.5 showing.  I'll keep working on it.
