I got new meds for my IBS and the side effects are weight gain. I mean, that's obvious, since the medicine is supposed to help my stomach, so obviously I'd want to eat more.
And that's JUST what has happened since I took mine late Wednesday night. I've been craving so much food, and indulging. Trying to forget that I have IBS. But I do. And I learned that last night, when I ate ....wayyyyy too much chocolate along with other crap and thought I was going to be sick. I really need to remember that I DON'T want to gain weight and I DON'T want to overeat or be in pain. I just want to be able to eat simple meals without wondering if they'll bother me. I really need to keep in mind that I can't just eat anything I want.
On the bright side, I don't want to jinx anything, but I feel like the medicine is already helping. I really hope that it's not just in the beginning or that it's like....not real. I really need this medicine to help so that I can tell my doctor that it works and we can get a better idea of what helps me. I really feel hopeful with this one though, for many reasons. Maybe I'll finally be able to get my life on track. I just really need to start eating more sensible.
