I've learned my lesson!!
Just got back from the hospital about an hour ago.
I was sleeved on April 17th. I have not had any problems with loosing weight. ( Thanks be to God)
Since loosing weight hasn't been a problem I figured it was time for a treat.
I've been eating about a cup of some mixed popcorn (Carmel, yellow cheese and white cheese) for the last 3 days.
On Mondays's and Tuesday's my job provides us with lunch. Usually I have some Water with my salad, but yesterday I decided it was time for another treat I had a 7up (fooling my self since it said DIET)
Clearly I was not fooling this sleeve. Also last night my grand baby loves Lucky Charms so passing by the pantry before I went to bed I decided to grab a handful.
Around 10 I started feeling gas pains. I took a gasX. Went to sleep, my cramping woke me up around 3am. I grab 2 gasX because these cramps were more intense than before I went to sleep.
I decided to go sit on the toilet, nothing happen. Crawled back in the bed kept squirming because of the pains. I went to the toilet again.
I was starting to moan by this time, now squirming on the toilet, grabbing the small trash can in the bathroom dry heaving. By this time my husband woke up to come see about me. He grabbed a small towel wet it and came to wipe my face. I was so HOT!
No relief at all..I started sweating like crazy. I had to take off all my clothes. I've never drip sweated before. I got off the toilet and lied on the cold tile. My husband was freaking out telling me to get up asking what's wrong. I couldn't even talk. I was so weak i didn't care what kind of business I would do right there on the floor. Finally I said we have to go to the hospital, I've been food poison.
The 15 minute ride to the hospital was terrible. I tried to focus on other things, my husband actually ran a red light.
Imagine the check in at the ER.
Before I could be taken to a bed I had to get to a toilet immediately. There goes the bad cramp with a gush. I was dry heaving at the same time. The smell was Horrible my husband was in there with me and I had to keep telling him to flush for me because the smell was making me more sick.
I started feeling a little relief . They gave me a shot of morphine and zofran.
I'm home with a sore sour stomach.
My God!
