I am constipated :( I honestly thought that this would not be a problem for me as I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome and "dropping a duece" is usually a twice, some times thrice, occurrence a day. Well, I have not gone since Saturday, despite adding "Bene-Fiber" into my liquids. I took two extra-strength Ex-Lax tablets a few hours ago. The back of the bottle says it produces a bowel movement in 6-12 hours. Well, I damn hope so!!!! The next step would be to trot on over to Shopper's Drug Mart and get a fleet Enema. Can't say I'm thrilled about that thought. I guess my other alternative would be to go down to the emergency department, but honestly, if something's gotta go up my ass, I'd prefer to do it myself, thanks. I know that this what will happen as I work in the health care system and I have a pretty good idea what steps they would be taking. If I don't drop a duece by dinner time tomorrow, I guess I'll be "fleeting". Ahhhh, living the dream peeps, living the dream!
My nausea has really started to subside, I'm quite thrilled about that. I was taking my sub-lingual pills every 8 hours, on the 8 hour mark, because the nausea was so damn persistent. However, I've been really monitoring my liquid intake, trying to get as much as I can get in and it seems to have paid off. The past two days I've only had to take my anti-puke pills first thing in the morning and then I'm ok for the rest of the day. The only reason I think I am having to take them first thing in the morning is due to dehydration from the 8-10 hours of sleep when I am ko'd. I've got a water bottle on my night stand now, we'll see if that helps at all.
Tried a protein shake last night. I used one scoop of "Gourmet Whey" Milk Chocolate and one cup of skim milk.....yeah, it was disgusting. I tried two sips of it and came close to spewing chunks everywhere. At least I tried it. It was disappointing though, I naively expected it to taste like Milk Chocolate, I should have known better. It is so hard to find a decent protein powder that doesn't taste like spluge. I do have a Vanilla flavored protein powder, also by "Gourmet Whey". I may try that in a few days, we'll see.
Had real food for breakfast today - one scrambled egg, 1 tsp shredded Tex-Mex three cheese blend and 2 tsp light feta cheese. OMGosh it was delish!!!! Mmmmm, REAL food.....yummy. Hey, it's the little things in life, right? :)
