Hi everyone. Today was my first day of induction and even though I'm sick and didnt feel like posting, Im making myself be accountable. I went to work sick yesterday, very sick. Body aches, super bad headache and coughing so hard my stomach muscles hurt (didnt even know I had them lol). Im a nurse working in a hospital and by 10 am I couldnt stand up. I was teary eyed and my friend whose a doctor told me to go to his office to see his Physican's Assistant, for 1 shot of rocephin (antibiotic) in my butt. WRONG!! I get there, turns out I have full blown bronchities w/ pneumonia that is now systemic (meaning entire body). I got there, and ended up with two shots in the butt, a breathing treatment and 3 prescription. I came home went to bed, got up this morning, started Atkins at 2am because thats what time the coughing woke me up. I had a slice of sausage quiche and it was so therapeutic. I made a couple of dishes ahead of time so I would be prepared. The warmth from the quiche was better than any of the lortab I have been taking. I made it at work until 12 when the doctor said "no more", go home, and be back at my office in the morning for another Rocephin and steroid shot, again in my butt. Ive tried hard to get my 96 ounces of H20 but I only got about half of it down. I ended up consuming 19 grams of carbs throughout the day with my favorite thing being the tuna muffins. OMG those things are so good, lol. Who would have imagined. I had an overpower craving for something sweet already around 6pm when i woke up, not sure why. I couldnt stop thinking about it. I ended up making a sugar free jello with the cream cheese which bumped my carb intake from 19 to 21. Now I feel guilty but tomorrow is another day and Im setting my goal to be the full 96 ounces of water. So Im starting induction sick, im taking chantix to quit smoking (date set for Sept 29th) and Im doing Induction. I can do this, cuz Im a strong girl and I deserve this. Hugs to all of you for the responses youve left on my other post. You guys are so cool.

Re: Rough first day of induction
I'm so sorry you're so sick. Doesn't it suck when you feel like you have to be at work when all you want to do is crawl under the covers. You did great on induction considering all you've been going through. Don't sweat it. Hope you're feeling better soon,

Yes you are gonna make it! Don't feel bad about complaining. Everyone needs to get things off their chest sometimes. Besides that's what we're here for
