Saturday at work and my bowels....beware....

Jan 09, 2009

Well, didn't know if I would make it to work this morning.  Seeing as the toilet called me from 4am-5am this morning.

I couldn't figure out why. One of my new year's resolutions was to get my bowels more regular, so I started taking a probiotic.  I started these teeny tiny acidophilus pearls. I took one yesterday morning with all my vitamins as well.  Seemed harmless enough.

But I didn't feel well all day yesterday. I felt tired, and then in the evening achey, and chillish and just icky, and had a headache.  We went to Applebees for dinner and I could only eat the french onion soup. Ordered the veggie patch pizza and only ate a small bite of it. It was rich and oily and I just felt gross, and well, sickly, like a cold coming on.  I have been monumentally cold most of this winter.  I wear a turtleneck and 2 sweaters and did this at dinner last night, had some soup and we came home.  Still cold all night. Sleep in sweats and long pants and socks. 

Then at 4am it hit me. I had to go. I'll spare details but I flushed alot of times. Not pleasant. It got to be close to 5am and my alarm goes off at 545am, if the feeling of having to go didn't pass I was going to have to call out sick.  But I finally made it back under my thick comforter and drifted back to sleep, with snoring husband blissfully unaware.  I almost woke him to get the phone so I could call out. 

I woke up late, got dressed and still feel achey and chillish. But I'm here.

I can't tell if it's the acidophilus or the smelly neon green pullups I have been changing on Clare this week.  

But life with an RNY goes on.  I have made a concerted effort to take my vitamins every day. Plus I am now Vit D deficient so I take Vit D once a week for a 12 week period.  I hit my low of 170lbs a few weeks ago and gained about 7 lbs over the holidays. This am I was 175 on the scale so I am trying to really get my protein in and chart my intake on the daily plate- a site I love but have a hard time remembering to get to.  I think I undereat my calories on a daily basis.  If the weather would cooperate I would walk more but it's so freaking cold I just can't. But we do have  Wii now and I am trying to do it more.
And I have been bitten by the Facebook bug so I have to get off of that and get up on my feet more often.

Back to the phones. Will blog tomorrow.
