After I took the first one...What a DIFFERENCE!!! I was still a little queasy, but I kept everything I ate down. It was wonderful. That lasted for about a week until the side effects kicked in. Please don’t get me wrong. I was ecstatic to be able to eat again! I was so thankful and grateful. The only side effect that really got to me was the constipation.

When I wasn’t able to poo for 3 days at a time, it started to get really bad. I SERIOUSLY felt like i was pushing out a baby every time!

By Thanksgiving which was about the fourth week or so of being on Zofran, I had stopped taking it all the time. I still had a supply because I was still queasy every day all day. I made a permanent indentation on our couch. :) We were going home again for Thanksgiving, but Sam wasn’t going to be able to go with us. I was feeling okay and able to drive and all that. I was also really excited about seeing everyone. And...
