Well, Today I Crashed...

[doxieville 799]

And I've been doing SO well!! Tuesday i'll be 3 weeks out; on full liquids until then. Here's what happened....

This morning at 5am, after feeding the dogs, I grabbed my SF pudding and Protein shake and crawled back in bed. I read for about an hour, eat my pudding and sip about half the shake. Then I go back to sleep until 9ish. That's been my schedule since week 2 when I started on Full liquids.

This morning at 9 I woke up with an INTENSE pain in my chest, right between where my breast bone is, so it's pretty high up. Holy Toledo!! Is THIS what you all have been experiencing with heartburn? Ouch!! And I had some nausea too. I took Omeprazole & Promethazine and went back to sleep. On hindsite, I should have gotten up and walked. I KNOW better.

I woke up a few hours later with cramps. Went to bathroom and whoosh!! Massive blood. (sorry guys.). I kinda expected it because of what I've been reading on here about hormones stored in fat, but WOW. You really don't understand it until it happens to you.

So why the pain & nausea? I have two theories, but if anyone has any other ideas, please speak up. The pudding I ate was a dark chocolate. I'd been eating vanilla only until today. Maybe it was too strong/rich for my digestive system. OR, yesterday I started taking my Vitamins. I had 1/2 at lunch and half at dinner. They are chewables & very tangy. Maybe the combination?

I'm laying here reading all your posts and thinking that I still don't have it as bad as some of you, but I sure sympathize for those of you who are having a hard time. This sucks!!! I've been hurting all day, I can't imagine feeling like this for weeks.

In Sympathy to my fellow sleevers,

Judy

I think she's talking about her period.

[doxieville 799]

Yes, it was my period! I am SO SORRY I didnt make that clear. It's my TOM, so I expected it, but not that amount.

Sorry!!

If it is heartburn try not eating in bed and laying down right away- eat straight up and slowly. Keep us posted!

Thanks Justine! I haven't had to deal w heartburn yet. I am propped up with a bunch of pillows, but tomorrow I'll sit at the kitchen table and see if that's better. Thank you!

I'm having similar problems...not so much with heartburn but with nausea. I have been doing really well but I started my period yesterday and it's been a hellish two days! I tried to drink my Protein Shake yesterday and threw up and have thrown up each thing I've eaten today and got sick walking on the treadmill at the gym. I haven't had any problems so far until now. I'm also 3 weeks out. I blame the period! And I miss my ibuprofen lol. Hoping the nausea will be gone tomorrow.

[doxieville 799]

Yep, I'm totally in agreement! I really think it was my period. I had a really rough 2 days with heartburn & nausea. The 3rd day was a bit better, 4th day I was back to normal. It HAS to be those hormones stored in our fat. That's my story & I'm sticking to it! :-)

I hope you feel better soon.
