I ate about 6 bowls of spaghetti because it was sitting in the fridge. And now I feel terrible. puke: What can I take to get rid of the feeling?

Take some Alka Seltzer or Pepto Bismol. It may help 'settle' all that food down or make it go out somewhere else

Thanks, I'll go get some Alka Setzer, and maybe some Ginger Ail, to move it along.

go throw it up

Hey, watch it.

No, I don't want to watch.

Don't make me use the "P" word.

Yeah you'd better not. TJ doesn't tolerate this kind of behavior so do yourself a favor and stop it.

My behavior? Your post got locked.

It was quoting someone else...

Try brushing your teeth. Whenever I have an upset stomach the mint from the toothpaste helps settle it.

I don't eat pasta anymore it has way too many carbs and fills my tiny stomach up too fast. Same with bread.

If I hear the word carbs one more time I'm going to kill myself;)

It's just another fad, that I hope will pass soon. If I see the carb karma commercial one more time...

Carbs are the way of the future!

not for me I have to have lower carbs because of my surgery. Low fat, low carbs, low sugar LOW EVERYTHING! If I eat too many carbs I don't lose weight and I have to have 60 to 90 grams of protein everday too.

Plus my grandmother lost 50 lbs doing Atkins. So it's not a fad.

All these low carb foods are awesome for me because low carb means low sugar. When you have this surgery you realize how many foods you can't have because of the sugar. I feel bad for diabetics.

My mother, as some of you may know, had the gastric bypass surgery a year ago. She can't have too much of anything and there are some things she can't have at all. She can't drink soda or any beverage that is carbonated because of the bubbles. They could alter the pouch and allow more food to be eaten, thus defeating the purpose of the surgery.

I also agree that the Atkins diet isn't a fad. My mother said she used it and she lost some weight. This was when she was in college before she got married and had a family. Carbs aren't always bad for you though (unless you have had the gastric bypass, of course). If you need energy, they are a good source.

I, too, am sick of seeing everything carbs. People act like its the best diet ever. Yeah, its good but whatever happened to regular diet and exercise? Too little carbs can be a bad thing too.

How is your mom doing BTW? I can't drink soda either. Flat diet soda is ok but it's gross LOL One of my mom's coworkers had it and can have soda which is weird.

She's doing great. Before the surgery she had a lot of trouble walking because the weight was too much for her knees. I think she's lost over 150 pounds. She's probably never felt so good in her life, or at least since I've been around.

I agree completely.

I'm glad to hear it Brian. Severe excess weight is a killer. Good for her and your family. :)

Hey I love spaghetti because I can eat it but don't use the P word or else people can and will get sick

6 bowls? Are you sure? How big were they? Reason #1 you weren't feeling so good would definitely have to be because you ate too much spaghetti. :eek:

Don't mean to laugh at you but 6 bowls? :eek:

Just thinking about it makes me wanna :barf:

pepto bismol, alka seltzer, castor oil? j/k :) :p

OK, here we go again with the debate on carbs. This whole thing about how bread & pasta is bad for you hasn't deterred me from eating them. I still get subs, hamburgers. I tried the wraps. It reminded me of a cold burrito. Ugh!! As long as you eat all this in moderation.

But 6 bowls? I couldn't even get past 2 bowls!! At home, I can control my eating, but when I would go out to eat, I would just gorge myself so bad. One time I ate so much, I felt like crap, like I wanted to puke. I managed to get home without getting sick and laid down and took a nap(probably the worse thing you could do after eating so much). But it helped, and some of the food had digested. After that, I vowed to never do that again to myself.

A little bit of Coca Cola might help, too.

I'll take a shot--

Puke?

Ew, maybe you shouldn't eat so much next time. Spaghetti is gross. Any food is gross.
