Less Nausea, More Belly

Unofficially, I have managed to gain weight. I say unofficially because I weighed myself yesterday, but it wasn’t under the usual circumstances, so it doesn’t count.

Secondly, as an update from yesterday, I started wondering if perhaps it wasn’t the pills I was taking that was making me nauseous, but the multivitamin. I have problems with those suckers, you know. I thought about it this morning because I took the Slimquick at 7:30 and felt fine until about 9:15 (and I took my multivitamin and its friends at 9:00). This seemed suspicious and familiar. I looked around the internet and it seems that quite a few people have had this nausea problem with the One A Day Weight Smart. So, I think I will stop taking that sucker. I’m glad I only bought the 2 month supply instead of the almost-a-year supply. I will see if I can find a different (normal) multivitamin today at the store. Not the One A Day brand, since I continue to have problems with them, and have to religiously take the women’s formula with food in order to avoid the nausea, and nothing seems to help with this weight smart version. Oh, I did find something that helped. Not the water that I was drinking, not the hunk of bread I had leftover from yesterday’s dinner at Panera (that I conveniently forgot about attempting to eat until long after I’d eaten it – that cat really likes her bread!). No, the solution was the Special K Protein Water mix I’ve got sitting here in my drawer. It won’t stop you from needing lunch, but if you’re starving it will help a bit, and it has seemed to (finally) stop the nausea. Yay!

Plus, unfortunately, the nausea didn’t actually stop me from eating (that would be one way to lose weight – just feel nauseous all the time!). In fact, I probably ate more, and crappier stuff, because I was trying to find something to add to my system that would make me feel better (to no avail).

Well, that’s all for now. I’m pondering writing up something about babies and infertility and so forth, but maybe not. Maybe not publicly, at least. Maybe I just want to forget about that subject for a while (which means stopping reading certain blogs, so I need to find some other way to occupy my day while I wait for the phone to ring about once every hour – boring!).
