My stomach and I have not been seeing eye to eye today. I had some problems yesterday that seem to have cleared up by this morning, but there has been a backlash that is trying my patience.
All day today I have been dealing with literal hunger pains. My stomach is empty enough that it hurts. When I try to eat though, it gets rid of the pain but makes me queasy and bloated and uncomfortable. So much so that I have to stop eating. That means that about an hour and a half to two hours after I eat the hunger pain comes back.
I made a small chicken patty and a handful of french fries for lunch. I finished the chicken but could only manage a couple of fries before I had to stop. For dinner I made a hamburger and some tater tots (my wife loves tater tots so I made them for her because she’s amazing and I like making things for her) and I only managed about half of the burger. I just had to stop. Almost exactly an hour after dinner I started feeling the empty stomach blues starting up again so I managed a small snack. Maybe that will hold me over for another hour.
I know that this is going to clear itself up in a day or two (it always does) so I will be fine either tomorrow or the next day. It’s just going to be a long night tonight. I think my stomach is going to make sleeping difficult.
Also, I just want to note this for my own mental health… not that it affects anything or anything… I didn’t write about it yesterday but I thought about it a lot. Yesterday was the second anniversary of my mother’s passing. Maybe my stomach is just manifesting feeling sad about missing my mom. Maybe my stomach knows, you know? I really can’t believe it’s been two years already.

Someone sounds Hangry! Just Kidding, lately every time I eat I just don’t feel good after and makes me just want to sleep after I eat. I dunno what it is, maybe I just don’t eat enough, or its not the right things. I know its not the right things I have bad habit of that, I eat whats convenient, and typically when its on the go. I am the complete opposite, I would ate the french fries and not the chicken patty. That does sound amazing right now, but then again I have not ate today. I love Tater Tots, that reminds me, I should make my Tater Tot Casserole. If you are having stomach issues, I dont see how a hamburger would help, just the thought of a hamburger and having a ‘queasy’ feeling, yeah that would be a no go for me. Sorry about your mom, I lost my mom last year. She had a major stroke, was in the hospital for a week before she passed a way. She was only 45 years old. It has been very hard to deal with, still is some days. I can relate how you are feeling. I get that way at times and has been a lot of the reason I am who I am now.

Emotions due crazy things to people.
Have you tried taking Pepcid or anything like it? Post gastric surgery, I developed extreme acid reflux, regardless of whether or not I eat. Before it refluxes, it sometimes presents as intense pain.
I hope you’re better soon!
