Gum, Ham, & Poop...few questions
I was getting ready to take a bite of my eggs and cheese when I remembered I had a peice of gum in my mouth. So naturally, as I would sometimes pre-op mostly when confronted with food, I swallowed it!! Damn, I told myself not to a million times. Anyway, I ate my eggs anyway and 45 min later started drinking. Just really hot and queasy for a few min and my chest had pressure,but now I feel o.k. Anybody else done this and what happened? Nothing I hope.
Next, my mother is cooking a ham for supper tonight. Is ham o.k. to eat? I'm cleared to have anything I want within reason and I tolerated baked pork chops o.k. So, is it too stringy of a meat or am I good to go?
Lastly, a TMI question. My poop was a pretty grass green color. Does anyone know what that is indicative of? Again, hopefully nothing. I do put various flavor sticks in my water, but it's never turned my poo different colors!!
Any advice on any of these would be appriciated!!!
I only strive to be, the kind of person my dogs think I am!

As far as the ham goes....I really haven't done much in the way of meat, but I would think if you are really careful and say the ABC's while you chew each bite, you would be okay--if not, your body will tell you!!
And well, the poop....I'm really not sure on that one. If it persists, you might want to call the dr on that one too. I wouldn't worry about a one time color change...unless it's red!!!
Good luck!
