This week

Sep 22, 2011

Has not been the greatest.  I had my 1 month follow up on Monday.  I'm down 31 lbs which is good.  The Dr. wrote me a script for the nasal spray B12 like I wanted.  Other than that I haven't felt very good.  My energy seems to be low but I'm doing my best to get all my protein.  I need to start tracking it.  I'm getting between 50-60 grams a day.  My water intake sucks so I'm working on that.  

I've experienced my first bad pouch days this week.  Now I don't mean I'm throwing up or anything, it's just that it seems kind of grumpy, even with food it's used to.  I don't know what's up with that.  I think I finally dumped on some Greek yogurt with fruit.  I didn't like it, but I was excited I did it because now I know I dump.  I was starting to get worried that wouldn't happen and it's a natural detterent to stay away from certain foods.  Luckily I figured out what it was pretty quickly and I was able to keep it from getting worse, but the lesson is still learned.

I start "real" food next week.  It's actually kind of scary.  I bought some canned chicken so we'll see how that goes.  I made some egg salad this week and my pouch was able to tolerate that much better than the scrambled eggs so chicken salad may be on the meal planner for next week.  

I'm looking for some good hot protein drink recipes so if anyone is reading this and has one, please send it my way.  I need something relatively easy to make at work.
