Hi everyone,
Well, today's been another difficult day for me. Last night I couldn't sleep and, eventually, decided to get up and do some of my writing because it was more productive than lying in bed. I still wasn't tired so took some wine, which makes me sleepy. At 5am I went to bed, with a very rumbly belly, and was up at 8.45 to go to the dentist. Having to drink with my tablets, I had no time for breakfast before rushing out half asleep. It took ages at the dentist, by which time my belly was bloated and painful again. I nipped to the shop to buy yoghurt, one which I know doesn't make me sick, unlike the sugary one that I took by mistake on Monday. I also picked up some deflatine. I had yoghurt and yoghurt for a late breakfast at lunchtime and then went to bed for a few hours. I had to rush to the toilet several times due to the effect of the deflatine and the watery soup that I had taken yesterday because I couldn't face solids. I felt rotten and nauseous going to work, still tired and in pain. It seemed to have settled by the time I got home, but started again when I walked the dogs. I forced myself to eat solids for tea. although I was bloated. It seems to have made me feel less sick, but my belly is still feeling dodgy.
Since I had my gastric bypass, over six weeks ago, I have never thrown up. I thought the worst was over after my constipation, but now it feels like my body just retains a lot of gas in my lower belly and then decides to give me random bowel movements. I know that I should be glad that I'm not vomiting, but since being on solids I have had problems. My soup, yesterday was an attempt to go back to basics, but that made me feel worse. The only solids that i am eating are soft and I chew for ages. I'm also drinking plenty of fluids. I haven't introduced new foods into my diet this week and haven't eaten stodgy foods like bread. The only thing that I know was wrong was the misleading fat free, but sugary, yoghurt on Monday. Surelyit shouldn't affect me for over 48 hours, should it? Due to my weird working hours and self study, I haven't been eating at the same time every day, but I am trying my best to have 3-4 4 tablespoon meals a day. Tomorrow I am going to try to eat at regular meal times to see if that helps. My weight has now plateaued again.
Sorry to moan, but I would appreciate any tips to reduce the discomfort. Than you!!
