So, how bad metformin hcl 500 mg price was the binge last night?

I have to point out now that a binge isn’t really “bad” or “good.”  It’s a binge.

The amount of food or the type of food aren’t as important as the behavior.  As I said last night, I don’t have really high-calorie items on which to binge.  I don’t have OREOs or ice cream or Doritos to stuff into my face.

But, I did choose carbs.  And, I’d already had my supper…this happened later in the evening:

1 bowl of flax seed cereal with skim milk and about 1 tablespoon of white sugar.
1 piece metformin hydrochloride 1000 mg of toast with 2 teaspoons butter and 2 teaspoons raspberry jam.
1 piece of toast with 2 teaspoons butter and 2 teaspoons peanut butter.
2 mini boxes of Raisin Bran (1.5-2 cups) with skim milk and 2 tablespoons white sugar.
3 slices Velveeta.

I ate those all within about an hour…which isn’t super-fast for consumption, but keep in mind that I have a surgically smaller stomach than others.  And, because I haven’t been stretching it or drinking liquids while eating, it was definitely in no shape to take on all that food.

Man, it hurt.

I hurt so bad.  If you know the WLS and what happens anatomically, you might be aware that sometimes there’s too much food going in and the person ends up throwing up.  It can happen in the case of the smaller stomach and its tighter connections causing stoppage.  Bad news…but it can be handled.  In my case last night, it didn’t feel like the pressure could be alleviated by throwing up.  I felt fuller-than-full…but I kept eating.

That is binging.  Eating to eat despite the consequences.  I was giving my weight loss venture a big middle finger.  I don’t know why…I just wanted to eat.  I mentioned last night that there was a fervor and fever to it–and I almost mean that literally.  I was sweating and felt entirely sick.  I decided to pack it in and ambled to lie in pain in my bed around 10:30pm…and I thought I was going to croak.

You know when you keep drinking alcohol despite knowing how sick you might get or what kind of a hangover you might have to live through?  It was like that.  I knew that my body couldn’t hold all that food in a short period of time at the rate I was eating it.  But I ate it anyway.

Sigh.

That’s all I care to go into right now.  My night ended up with me feeling quite ill for quite some time.  Then, of course, the guilt and remorse set in…then I woke up and it was a new day.

What I need to do is look at why I binged.

What I don’t want to do is look at why I binged.

So, I’m going to call it a day.

And look forward to another one tomorrow.
