Feel Gross - Weight Loss Message Board

I feel really gross today. I woke up with a stomach ache, but I ate breakfast anyway (I didn't know if I should or not)...egg beaters and cottage cheese.

For lunch I had turkey slices (a lot) wrapped with avocado (1/4 of one) and goat cheese, a handful of cashews, a lowcarb crunch bar, and a slim a bear fudge pop.

I feel like my lunch was really random and eclectic and I would have much rather had a balanced, set meal. I always feel gross/fat after I eat random stuff. Ewwwwwwwwwwwww.....

Drink some ginger ale, or even ginger is good for tummy aches. They sell ginger as tea. Hope you feel better!

I always get tummy aches from gas due to eating cruciferous veggies like brocolli and cauliflower.

"avocado (1/4 of one) and goat cheese, a handful of cashews"

Those are three very high fat items and the combo could make one queasy (ESPECIALLY someone with a marginal gall-bladder.)

I agree with that. Excessively fatty foods really can make you feel rotten if eaten in excess. I find that since I've had my gallbladder removed, I can't eat cashews at all - they totally make me sick. Even if you don't have a problem such as that, perhaps eating a "handful" (which is hard to calculate - was it 10 nuts - 50 nuts?) combined with the cheese and avocado may have just been too much at one time for your system to deal with.

also, it looks like you didn't eat very much carbohydrate, which can add to feelings of nausea in and of itself.
