hey everyone!
I am late again...my brain has been so pre-occupied lately, I have been forgetting to log in and post in the mornings.

QOTD: when my brain won't shut off thinking about things I can't control---or thinking of ways TO control things that I am worried or stressed about...
It doesn't happen often, I am usually a sound sleeper and don't have trouble falling asleep but occasionally I will get these insomnia nights that I just can't seem to flip the switch!

B: coffee w/sf creamer, 1/2C cottage cheese and small nectarine
L: leftover meatloaf, green beans
S: greek L&F yogurt
D: DH is cooking again so not sure...maybe spaghetti squash and turkey sausages

Speaking of the QOTD, a friend just sent me this. I thought some of you might enjoy it:

Hi and Good Evening:

It was another incredibly hectic day at work. There was no chance for a break to post here earlier today!

QOTD: I am a chronic insomniac. I fall asleep easily, but an internal clock wakes me up at 1 am or 2 am every morning and I rarely get back to sleep! So I lay in bed for awhile mulling over my current concerns and then get up at a ridiculously early hour for the day.

Right now my concerns have been the problems I have had and continue to have since my RNY toward the end of August. Eating has been a trial for me.

First, I had a stricture that caused constant nausea and vomiting. That was corrected by EGD. Now, as soon as I eat some solid food and it hits my pouch, I get nauseated and a wicked headache. The nausea and headache can last up to 4 hours. By the time those symptoms go away, it's time for another meal--but, I'm reluctant to eat again and set the nausea and headache off again.

Has this happened to anyone else early in their post-op course? Does anyone know why this might be happening or have any suggestions on how I can live with this and still be able to meet my daily protein and fluid goals?

MEALS FOR TODAY:

My Menu has been in shambles. I haven't wanted to eat because of the symptoms I described above.
