Some Progress . . .
posted on 3/16/12 7:41 am
Well, I started "real" but soft foods on Monday. . . and it is not going all that well.  I am having hell getting the protein in but mostly getting in the water.   And nausea on and off - even threw up Tuesday night.  My medications are feeling stuck again.  And I am only eating until I barely feel full at all - the slightest sense of fullness.  But over the next thirty minutes I feel like I blow up and get a huge pain in a esophageal spasm to the back.  So I am in a kind of agony . . . until I belch.  Then I feel much better.

So far I have been the most successful with scrambled egg (with a bite of toast).  I tried Kroger Greek Yogurt (with Stevia) and that caused a LOT of nausea (whether due to lactose-intolerance or the Stevia I don't know)  Oh, and I tried tuna salad out and it was horrible afterward - I had not thought of what THOSE belches would be like.  Now they told us not to use more than one protein drink a day . . . but I can't figure if they meant one meal per day or one shake per day (which would be several meals)  Turkey and string cheese worked a couple of meals and then I hit a meal where it did not work and now I'm kinda off that. 

Funny ot think how anxious I was to start eating food but now I kinda long for the days of protein shakes - those were simple days. 

And the timing - it is dreadful.  How can I possibly fit everything in one day?  I have to eat 6 meals a day three hours apart (and take 30 minutes to eat each meal), to drink only thirty minutes before and after each meal but somehow get in 64 oz of fluids a day as well as my meds AND my vitamins.  My meds cause the greatest feeling of being "stuck" and I am so miserable after I take them - it is the Depakote that are the biggest trouble.
