Emergency Room Visit

Well for some strange reason I had to rush to the emergency room late last night. All I ate yesterday was about two tablespoons of tuna, six crackers, a teaspoon of fruit dip, two grapes three slices of strawberries and a few chips and dip. I started to feel the irritation on my left side at about 8pm, but that's not unusual. So at about 11:15pm I started to gag and burp up clear stuff constantly, so it got to the point that I was on my knees. I went to the emergency room and they drew blood and did an x-ray. The doctor said everything looked normal, but they're not that familiar with the lapband. I will tell my doctor on Wednesday, but I feel much better...I do feel a little weak. I really think I'm over doing it with the exercise, because last week as soon as I got off the treadmill I started gaging. I can't slow down my workouts...I need to lose four more pounds by the 31st.:faint: I see I lost another pound since yesterday, I probably burped it off! Anyway, type ya later.

 

Be Blessed!

Poor baby. That was normal for overeating or eating things your band could not tolerate. For me the culprit would have been the tuna, grapes or even the crackers. It sounds like you ate that over the course of the day so what was the last thing you had before the episode? Did you drink with it? Liquids should be on the diet today to sooth your insides.

Well before I ate that, I had yogurt at around 11am and grapes at about 4:45 and that was it. So I don't know what happened.

Thanks ladies!
