Hi all,

So last night I got the slimies for the first time. Boy was it gross! I never threw up food, but I tossed copious amounts of slimy stuff. And I had the worst stomach pains I've had since the surgery. I have already scaled back to 2 oz of Protein per meal, but I added 1/8 c. frozen vegetables. I had eaten 1/2 c watermelon about 2 hrs before. Not sure what got me, or if my stomach was just "in a moood" but I DO NOT want a repeat. I think I would have felt better a lot faster if I would have thrown up and been done with it.

After that I waited a few hours before my nightly Protein Drink, but I couldn't finish it anyway. So today I woke up and I am just NOT MOTIVATED to eat solids. I'm sitting here at 11 a.m. drinking 1 c of soy milk with 1 scoop of gold standard. And I'm thinking Soup for lunch later and some unjury chicken for dinner.

I have had a really easy recovery compared to so many on the boards, so I feel a little guilty whining about this.

I have had a real easy time also. I will be 5 weeks out on Monday and have been really careful with my chewing and things that I choose to eat because I don't want to be sick. I would rather do anything but puke!!

I feel kinda gross today too!! Not slimy, but everything that I eat makes me feel queasy for a while today. I have been so blessed to have been able to eat whatever and not feel this way since surgery and now BAM! I hope it is just a fluke and it will go away! It started this morning after I had my egg and took my Vitamins. Lasted about 15 minutes and then stopped. Then, I just had some beef jerkey and some cheese and now I feel gross again! YUCK!

I think for lunch I will just do a Protein drink and see if that makes me feel better! I hate this feeling! I hope you feel better soon!

Thanks Kelly! I'm hoping a day without solids will give my tummy the break it needs. I hope you are feeling better soon too! And I think I will buy myself a little present today-- haha! Take that cranky tummy!! Just something little like a new lipstick or nail polish color or maybe a trashy magazine :-)
