Ever since I had my latest fill I've been doing really well with my eating and weight loss. However, it has been quite difficult to take my medication. I've had a couple of instances after taking a pill (not a big one either, maybe the size of a tic tac) where I've had excessive salivation and even some gagging and heartburn. After this happened I got nervous to take my pills and have been avoiding them most days. Which for anyone who takes "happy pills" knows is not the best thing to do! Well, I used to have one of my medications in liquid format that requires you to mix it in with some kind of juice. I decided today that I would try that again - even though I wasn't thrilled about the extra calories the juice would add. I needed to do something because I could feel myself starting to slip into a downward emotional spiral and that is not a good thing.
What a difference!
I feel so much happier today than I have the past week or so. I finally told myself that I can deal with the extra calories each day in order to maintain my sanity. Plus I even got my walking buddy at work out and about for an afternoon walk in/around/up/down our parking garage at work. I would like to do that every day at least once a day, and try to build up to twice a day. l need to measure it one day, but if I had to guess it is probably a half mile with the route we take. Every little bit helps right?! :)
I'm glad you nipped that funk in the bud!
ReplyDeleteHeck yeah, every little bit helps! I'm glad you found a good solution for getting your medicine taken.
ReplyDeleteSuper proud to hear everything's going well in the weight loss area, too!
Oh I'm so glad! My BBF should be happy!!
ReplyDeleteWhere there's a will ...there's away! XO
ReplyDeleteYes yes - never skip a dose! Glad you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteOkay...no more skipping meds. I'm glad you can take it in the liquid form. Glad that the fill is working for you. Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteyes! skipping happy pill meds is a definite no-no - I speak from experience! lol :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you are feeling better!
ReplyDeleteIf I can ask... which happy pill is it? I am supposed to take Zoloft but stopped taking it because of the sliming, stuck, heartburn issues. I really need to get back on it. Never thought of crushing into juice.

New follower here. Not attending BOOBS, but maybe I can make it next year.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are feeling better and yes, every little bit counts!
I am with you on the avoiding pills thing because of the sliming, etc. that can come along. I had to switch from one little time released wellbutrin to 3 big ones a day post band. I am lucky to get my morning pill down even with a pill cutter and an alarm alert on my phone to take them. Here it is, 10:00 a.m. and I still haven't taken the first one yet. Grrr.
