Not having a good day. So, I posted the other day about having GI issues and we all figured out it was because for two mornings in a row I had decaf coffee. Friday, I felt better with less GI issues, but still issues. I woke up this morning still having issues, but I have been really bad about getting all my water in so I made myself 24 oz of iced decaf tea and watched tv. I finished half of it...took me 2 hours....and I was getting up every 15 minutes to hit the bathroom.
I had a few sips of water a little later, after a massage, and then I hit up the drive thru of Chick-fil-A to get some chicken soup. I decided I wasn't hungry once I got home, so put it in the fridge and then took a 3 hour nap. I woke up still having issues, but I was dehydrated and hungry, so I made some ginger herbal (caffeine free) tea and sipped on that...then waited 30 minutes and heated up 1/3 of my bowl of soup. I ate it and then I threw it up. Then I threw it up again. Then I threw up some more. Then I had other GI issues.
I have now been sipping on some Powerade Zero in an attempt to get hydrated and some electrolytes in me. I'm hungry, but afraid to eat. I'm thinking I have some kind of a bug. What sucks is that I know I should follow the BRAT diet - bananas, rice, applesauce, toast - but of those the only think I would feel comfortable eating is applesauce and I'm not quite sure it's even worth trying considering there's not much nutrition in it....or at least not what I need.
I'm really just venting cuz I'm upset....and hungry....hoping tomorrow is a better day. If not, I'm calling my surgeon Monday morning.
Hope y'all are having a nice weekend.
