STRESSED!

Jun 13, 2010

Since surgery I have had a lot of unrelated stressors including my Grandfather dying, not being in the comforts of my own home due to lots of travel for work, being given a promotion at work with lots of responsibilty and high standards, working between 60-80 hours a week to clean up the mess that I took over, relocating to a new state for work and much more. 

The past couple of days I have had trouble not only keeping my food down but also severe diarrhea, nausea and cramping which sometimes makes me double over with pain.  Once the diarrhea eventually exits I feel fine, but the couple hours preceeding it is miserable.  Even though I suffered with IBS before, the past few days I'm not even able to control it with Immodium. 

I'm wondering if all this is just stress and if so, how can I control it better?  Should I go back to strickly protein shakes for a while?

Have any of you experienced negative symptoms from high stress post surgery?   In addition to that I have not lost any weight in about a month.  I appreciate any help or advice you can offer, thanks a million!  Tammi.
