Guest guest Posted June 26, 2000 Report Share Posted June 26, 2000 Hi Gail, I had surgery on that day as well. I have no idea why you are feeling sick. I eat mashed potatoes as well, but I am just not hungry, so I never get more than a couple of teaspoons down. I am kinda afraid to try much. I have a temperamental tummy, so I don't try much. Have you emailed Dr Rutledge? Flo has had a sick tummy lately too. Could it be the medication making you sick? le Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2000 Report Share Posted June 26, 2000 Gail, I tried potato soup and it felt like lead in my stomach. I only had two bites and threw the rest away. Maybe it's just to heavy for you. from Fla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2000 Report Share Posted June 26, 2000 I feel that way when I just drink the juices also. I don't eat that much just 2 teaspoons and that's only once a day. Do you think drinking to much OJ would make me sick? I have tried other juices and I don't like them. I drink V8 and OJ and water. Thanks for any help.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2000 Report Share Posted June 26, 2000 Hi Gail: I'm in the process of figuring out what is making me sick. I had surgery May 31. So far, Amy P and I have figured out that it's probably my hormone pills making me sick. I thought it might be lactose intolerance. Today was my third day off the hormones and I haven't felt sick, but I made several other changes so one at a time I have to experiment. I went right back on my hormones after surgery so didn't think that was it but I am now inclined to think it was. We'll see. You're not alone out here. I've had yucky tummy a good bit lately and it is discouraging. I do have my energy back though, so that's a good start. Tomorrow I make yet another change in my quest to find out what has caused my yucky tummy. I told Amy if I wasn't 57, I'd swear I was pregnant so that's how we concluded that I needed to try not taking the hormones....try anything you think is a possibility. Eventually with some detective work you will find the culprit making you feel sick. I'm still detecting..not sure the hormones are the culprit but I should know by the weekend. Best wishes Gail. I KNOW how discouraging it can be. Flo in land Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2000 Report Share Posted June 26, 2000 Gail, that's a whole lotta acid! v8 and OJ are shere acid. I can't eat much either but you need to get something in there but acid. How about some soup, chicken broth, won ton soup, etc? Try some non-acid stuff hon. Flo Gail35nNC@... wrote: > I feel that way when I just drink the juices also.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2000 Report Share Posted June 26, 2000 Hi Gail, I was one of your littermates on 5/29. I am doing well, I think. I weighed today and have lost 28 lbs. this month. I have started eating regular food and haven't had much of a problem. I just have to watch how much I put in and make sure I don't get too full. Not a good feeling!!! My nausea that I occasionally experienced has mostly gone away, and now I only am bothered if I wait too long to eat something. I am amazed at how well I feel. I felt much better when I went to eating some real food. First I tried mashed potatoes, pretty soupy. I just felt if I saw one more broth I would barf. I also eat some crackers if I can't eat a meal on time. That seems to help. I would seriously think about giving Dr. R a call if you continue to feel yucky. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2000 Report Share Posted June 26, 2000 Hi Gail, Are you taking your Tums????? Orange Juice is very acidic....you may need to water it down. You should also be eating crackers to help calm your stomach and any acid you may experience. Gatorade really helped me and there are so many flavors for variety. I really like to eat the low fat Better Cheddars. I wish you felt better I find that every day is better than the last.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2000 Report Share Posted June 27, 2000 Dear Flo, I had the same experience as you are having. Had to switch to the Climara Patch. Not enough hormone can make you feel sick too!!! Too much hormone can make you nauseated. Like you say, it's experimentation. Good luck. I will be 56 next month so we are about the same age too. in Missouri 158 lbs/ down 84 lbs. MGB 1 10 2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
