Super Low Caloric Intake, Protein Powder fiasco, & Fluids

Sep 30, 2011

So, yesterday was my first day home from hospital, and I ate 211 calories.  I never once felt hungry, but I was thirsty and was trying to get in some non-SF popsicles here and there.  I had some broccoli cheddar soup pureed, and some greek yogurt and babyfood pears pureed, and the SF popsicles, and some tea, and some Crystal Light.  I got 38 oz of liquid in!  But 211 calories?  And I never was hungry ever?  I was thirsty, but not hungry.  Water tastes icky, kinda slimy kinda mildewy, so everything is tea or Crystal Light right now, but that's all fine.  

So...unflavored protein powder?  Not so much.  It ended up being vanilla in a mislabled tub.  Vanilla, broccoli, and cheddar DO NOT TASTE GOOD.  Thankfully, I only gagged and didn't have an all out puking fit, but it was bad.  Needless to say, the refund from Amazon is already being processed...

I'm up to 124 calories so far today.  A 90 calorie breakfast of 2 oz of Cream of Wheat made with Carnation Instant Breakfast NSA and 2% milk.  It was very yummy!
