Day 5..Should have listened :(

Well, I guess that's how I have to start this out....

I woke up this morning feeling pretty good. First night I slept through the night and comfortable, woke feeling fresh and good. Then it went downhill.

I awoke around 10, which is rare for me since I am usually up bright and early.

My daughter got here by 10:30 and we went to go get me a protein shake, I was feeling a little antsy and shaky but I just figured it was from not eating anything yet or having anything to drink. Got my shake and took my aloe vera shot, and my lemon green tea, and my shake and dug in. Took the shot, and stared on the shake. Came home and had 4 oz. of my shake on top of what I had eaten on my way back home. And drank all the lemon green tea.

Then I had a bm. It was diarrhea. And to top it off I was feeling a little more shaky and nausea set in.

I figured I was hungry. (it had been about an hour since I had eaten, so I made some Soup on the Go Cream of Broccoli and measured it out, 4 oz. ate it slowly and had to go to the restroom again... another bm more diarrhea.

By this point I was feeling suuuper light headed, shaky, faint, and nauseous.

I called my Dr. and talked to the nurse explaining to her what was going on and if she could get me some nausea meds called in. They called me in something for nausea, and told me start drinking Gatorade. Lots and lots of Gatorade, and to take some Pepto and the nausea meds, and to come in and see the Dr. at 9am. 1st appointment.

After I took the medicine and drank about 3 cups (8oz) of Gatorade, I started feeling human then. I am now peeing very clear urine and since the pepto no more bm's.

I am still feeling a little light headed but but no more nausea and the nurse said I could scramble up an egg and have a half of toast, just make sure its mushy and wet. Or I could have some malt-o-meal.

I sent darling daughter to the store to get me some malt-o-meal and more Gatorade.

So I am not perfect like I think I am, and I need to be more in tune with my body instead of thinking everything was going to go back to the way it was.

 

My new mantra for today is ......blogentry-281018-13814445245529.jpg

This is common during the liquid phase. Liquids in liquids out. It does get better I promise. When you start eating protein you may have the opposite problem lol
