Meat Tenderizer to the Rescue??

Okay, so last night I came home and tried some chicken and vegetables. I chewed each bite of chicken at least 29-30 times and the vegetables which were cooked soft at least 20. I did not have any trouble with the meal. This morning, I went into work and my Herbalife vitamins and protein shakes were finally there when I was! So I go ahead and crush the vitamins, but the cell activator was in the capsule form, so I went ahead and took it whole followed by water and a little later, my protein shake. By two o' clock this afternoon, I knew that I still had not passed that capsule. It was definitely stuck. Because I am a nurse, I was doing a lot of bending and feeling more and more sick by the hour. I called my husband, (who should be the lap-band surgery poster boy) who told me to drink, drink, and drink some more. I drank and drank and even drank my diet lipton tea with lemon heated. Nothing was working, in fact, I was becoming more and more sick. So after much urging from my fellow co-workers I had my doctor paged. I explained to him what I had done and he said get some meat
tenderizer mix it with water and sip on that, and rest sitting up. Then he tells me "I am pretty sure I filled you a little because the band was a little loose" HELLO??? Someone could have mentioned that to me about 5 days ago!! I have been uncomfortable with every type of food I try and was just deciding that this was going to be my life with the band. Because my husband and his family expected me to just bounce back, like he did, I have tried as little as possible to complain, although when I have, it has fallen on deaf ears. My husband actually shouted at me and told me he knew exactly what I was going through today and he was trying to help me fix it but "NOOOO, I REFUSED to do what he said." Reduced to tears, I told him that I had been drinking but the more I drank, the more nauseated and painful it became. I feel like even though he has had the band, he is not hearing me out when I say something is wrong. Don't get me wrong, I am not easy to live with when I am sick. If I am running a fever, I have a little whimper that I make when I am chilling. When I was nauseated last week after surgery, I pretty much was ill and crying at times with my head. I am sure he was happy to finally go back to work, but when I tell you something is stuck and has not moved in 8 hours, I think it needs to be addressed. So I finally was sent home from work, and have been sipping on this meat tenderizer mixed with water for the past half hour while writing this. The pain has subsided a tad, but I am still uncomfortable. My doctor told me that if I was still uncomfortable tomorrow, to come back to the office and he would remove some of the saline. Until then I guess, I will sit here and drink meat tenderizer until I am floating, hoping and praying that this thing passes and soon so that I can rest tonight. Until next time, God bless McCormick's....
