Bad night
Jul 09, 2011
I had a really rough night last night. I was constipated hadn't gone since Tuesday. I took a laxative around 6pm and it gave me severe cramping around 10pm. My stool was very hard and it was painful to pass. I ended up getting the foamies from all of the cramping that happened (I had nothing in my sleeve just a little bit of water) and I ended up throwing up bile. There was a little bit of blood in my vomit and I was concerned so I called and talked with my surgeon. He said that if it happened again that I would need to go into the hospital. I was up and down through out the night and I believe I was able to get my bowel emptied. My doctor said to only use milk of magnesia liquid if I have to use it again. I used another brand that was a small pill.I don't want to get constipated again. I know that part of the reason it happened was because I am not taking in enough fluids. I am getting in around 40 ounces a day. I really need to push myself to get in at least 64 oz. I met with the nurse yesterday and I am down to 302lbs. My scale at home is not working right and is not accurate it showed me at 307 before I went to the clinic and when I was weighed at the clinic it said 302! I am almost below 300lbs I am excited. I need to find a better scale that is more accurate.
My head feels a little bit off today. I am sure it is from getting so sick last night.
So the nurse had me start taking a calcium supplement. I am taking bariatric advantage soft chews. She told me that I can start to take biotin which may help with hair loss but there is no guarantee so I picked some up. She also said that I could take some fiber supplement. So I picked up some benefiber chewables. I haven't started to take them yet but I will try them today.
My sister and her family are in town this weekend and I have a baby shower I am going to tomorrow. We need to run to Target and do some grocery shopping. I need to pick up some more ricotta cheese, cottage cheese, yogurt, lactaid milk and probably some more canned tuna. Yesterday I tried canned salmon. It was pretty good.
