Getting Better

Mar 12, 2010

So for a while I thought that I would not want to eat ever again and that I was never going to be able to get food in.  When I was in the hospital and for about 2 weeks after I had no desire to eat and could not even get much in me.  I was never hungry, in fact I felt very full all of the time.  But about 4 days ago I actually started to feel the sensation of hunger and definitly had the capacity to eat more.  And suddenly food did appeal to me again   It is kind of an odd feeling really cause it seemed all of a sudden I woke up one day and things felt more normal.  I think what might have happened is that the swelling in my stomach has finally disappeared and that I am actually feeling my true stomach size now.  I have been able to eat cream of wheat cereal, strained cream soups, sf pudding, yogurt and of course I am still trying to get the Carnation Instant Breakfasts in, but I am starting to get tired of them.  I am pretty good at getting in my daily pre-natal vitamin, and 2 calcium/vit D chewables.  I was able to stop crushing the vitamin and start just cutting it up and it is so much better cause crushing the pill just tasted soooooo bad .   I think I might have to go out and get some protein powder and add it to my meals.  I feel like at this point that I am not getting enough protein in me.  The good people on the OH website have given me some great tips on which ones are good, don't have any taste, even ones that taste good.  So I know I will find something out there for me.  I look forward to next week when I can have my food pureed next week. 

Until next time!
