10/14/09 Lunchmeat Woes
Oct 13, 2009
Okay so I was at work today and had neglected to pack breakfast or lunch. Luckily, I work right next to a grocery store and walked over and got myself 1/4lb of chicken from the deli. Smart, right? I need 2oz a serving and 1/4 of a lb is 4oz. YAY! Two meals for less than $2.50 total! Or so I thought. I swallowed too much of the lunchmeat without chewing it. I spent about a half hour in pain as my poor little tummette(pouch) tried to push down the stuff that I hadn’t chewed well enough. I felt like I just wanted to curl up in a ball and take a nap. So, note to self… I cannot handle lunchmeat yet. That’s sad. I loved lunchmeat before the surgery. The dietician told me that things can change in two weeks. So maybe two weeks from now I’ll try it again, but I’m going to make damn sure that I try it in the comfort of my own home. I keep trying to get them to order a futon for this office, but I honestly think my boss would be around more. Not to keep an eye on me, but to sleep during work (though he’s also done that in the past while sitting up.) Anyways… I sat there incredibly uncomfortable trying to focus my mind elsewhere and getting the chills. I equate it to drinking far too much and wondering if puking is going to make it better. I didn’t, but at least the punishment will remind me for quite some time not to get overzealous with my recovery.
