preop - i feel sick today

ive been really sleepy lately, almost depressed. not gaining any weight though. but i have a backache and a stomache today and am nausous. i cant seem to even drink my lemonaide crystal light. its warm yes but normally i dont care. i have no idea whats wrong with me. i only did mayube 7 minutes of my 30 miunute workout. i am not down on myself , yet, but i feel like crap today. i have an implant in my arm so i shouldnt be pregnant or getting a cycle, but i dont know whats wrong with me. i know a few weeks ago i felt similar w/o the belly and back ache so i dont know, it hasnt been this bad in a while. i am slowly feeling better sitting in the airconditioning but it still hurts so bad. just needed to vent. just in so much pain. i wish our insurance covered a chirpracter for more than 12 visits a year.

I'm s sorry to hear you are feeling so terrible. Maybe you are coming down with a summer cold. Maybe it is just the many changes you are going through and you are in an adjustment period.  Just not sure. I know my hubby, I and a few others I know went through a couple of days of nausea and the icky feelings. I have been wiped out feeling for a while now, but know the culprit in that and will be having that taken care of in July.

Try to find something you enjoy, like your writing, toput you in a different place, and get your mind off of how yucky you are feeling. Sometimes that can help alot.. Wishing for you to feel better very soon!
Hugs!

i have no idea why i felt sick. im fine now. weird. if this keeps happening i am going to have to tell my dr. i dont know what it culd be.. unless they give me a pregnancy test and i'll freak out if i cant have surgery because of pregnancy. granted weve tried off and on for 5 years to have a kid with no luck so i will take what life gives me. but ive thought preggo thousands of times and only ever was twice. so i am not thinking it this time. i was bad today. at a cookout, i had a diet pepsi and 2 hot dogs and a hamburger and 3 handfuls of chips. im upset to see the scale go up 2 lbs, plus go up 2 lbs from not doing my workout today. this is so hard and annoying. how do u get over social events? i think i'll start bringing my own food!! i know theres one more this summer and i'll be off chips and pop and probably grilled fatty foods by then too. any advice patrece? i am not down on myself, its just a setback.

Honey.. we all have setbacks. I applaude you for reaching out. It isn't easy to stay on track, especially at social food gatherings. As far as the pop, bring your own sugar free beverage next time and think of the pop as a disgusting nasty thing you wouldn't consider putting in your body when you have a nice healthy beverage with you! If you can't bring a beverage, stick with ice water.

As far as the food, you can either bring your own... choose from the healthiest of what they have to offer and you can get your protein in later...or you can choose to just eat a small amount of what is there, and eat more later at home when you have healthy foods to choose from.  Just try to always remember... nothing tastes as good as getting healthy feels! When you see a bad for you food you really want to eat, remind yourself that you know exactly what it tastes like.. and that the taste may be good but lasts only moments. the effects of it however can linger for days! Think of how hard you are working for what you need to accomplish...and you will know you do not want to undo all of that hard work for a few moments of tastebud delight.

Do you get my newsletter? There were two (part one and two) with tips and ideas for getting through times like these. you can sign up for it if you like..
I'll also post the two articles on our group blog here so you and others can read them.

Oh yes.. another thought on the feeling icky... maybe because your bodyis getting used to eating beter foods, it is making you feel bad when you eat the not so good for you stuff?

If you think there is the slightest possibility you may be pregnant.. please get a test and check. My daughter was just preparing for plastic surgery after her weight loss, and found out she was expecting.. It does seem to happen at the worst times..lol

No new words of wisdom Sara, just letting you know that there will bee off days. Hang in there, Patrece had good ideas. The new week is starting, hopefully a great one. Hugs

thanks. will do so when i see my pcp in sept if i am not feeling any better or if we have any extra money for a test. things are so stinking tight right now. plus the scale got wet and died. grrr. its going to drive me bonkers to not know how i'm doing. i was at 12 lbs lost the last time i checked though. exciting. :)  i dont think i am pregnant but things happen and supposedly they arent sure how effective the implant is in morbidly obese patients. but my dr pushed for me to get it.. lol. well i am trying to work on my book but ive been in such a funk. and now i wake up with severe scalp pain at 3 am and couldnt go back to sleep. 3 hours later i havent gotten more than a few sentences in my book. i regret having so many unfinished chapters at once. why did i do that? why am i so unattentive? grr. just wanted to write back. ive been feeling fine. its an adjustment to eat healthy though, i give that. and we're basically out of the good stuff that keeps me going on the diet until the 2nd. i cant wait to go shopping. blah. i have no idea how to get out of this funk and am so looking forward to my apt in about 2 weeks. :)
