  • what happened when i took the doctors advice. bad stuff thats what!

    so if y'all didn't see my other post, i have a staph infection and got put on heavy antibiotics for 10 (now 7) days. the doc had suggested my menu be more 'rounded' with grains and things while i'm on them, and i couldn't really figure out why and didn't bother to ask.

    well i was researching this online yesterday morning, and came to the conclusion that he'd suggested that because the antibiotics can upset your stomach and breads and clear fluids etc make it better. but i wasn't feeling sick, so i put the whole thing out of my mind.

    until i got soooo sick later in the day.

    ugh, i haven't been that sick since i was a little kid and got stomach viruses all the time. started with a huge migraine. i napped for an hour to get rid of it, and it helped a bit but it came back as i woke up. then i got a huge stomach ache that kept me in the bathroom for like an hour. i took a hot shower thinking that would make my tummy feel better, but when i got out my migraine was even worse and every time i moved i felt like i was going to throw up.

    so i finally relented to my mom's nagging and ate some saltine crackers and sprite, which is her fix-all for everything ever since i was a kid.
    and guess what, it made me even sicker! i spent all night throwing up after that, even just opening and closing my eyes made me feel nauseated.

    so today i feel much better, but i'm up 2 pounds (which is hilarious after all the things that came out of my body last night. i think i saw a lung in there)
    i took my antibiotic this morning like always, and i've yet to feel as sick as i did yesterday. but jeez. those crackers felt like they sat like mud in the pit of my stomach, and they definately did -not- make me feel any better.

    my cheat-free streak is over, and that really bugs me. i was past 60 days, and i've had to fight for every pound, and now i've got two more i have to lose. just goes to show mebbe doctors dont know everything! i'm back to eating normally (normal being atkins ) and i feel pretty good today other than being a little weak.

      Sorry to hear of your experience Kib

      Make sure you keep well hydrated even if you are not up to eating much.
      Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
      Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

        Do what you have to do to get well. And don't feel bad about. Once this will be over you will be on a streak again. You're Atkins enthusiasm has been so inspiring here. Take care and come back new and refreshed.

            they better! i know my water was low the last few days and my measurements havent changes, so i doubt its anything but water weight, since i know eating saltines and sprite won't magically turn into 2lbs of fat. im just irritated, cause i'm not 'allowed' to go in the sun and i'm not 'allowed' to work out because i might irritate the infection with friction or sweat. so i have to sit on my butt for 10 days, and after 2 months of working out i'm going nuts not being able to do anything. im sure a few push ups and sit ups won't hurt though. its also frustrating because i got within .6 pounds of my second mini goal and would have lost 20lbs in 2 months, before all this happened, now i'm 2.4 above it *grumble*
