Figured out my new tummy likes warm things like tea. Doesn't seem to be a fan of water. Even with crystal light. Or maybe it doesn't like that flavor. Either way I'm super excited to be getting my fluids in. Slowly but surely. I have had some head hunger but that's really it. I don't really have any desire to eat foods. I was watching diner drive ins and dives, which is a show I've always loved. I had to end up turning because all the fatty food actually looked disgusting to me.So weird.

Glad you are doing well with fluids. That is so important for all of us but especially during the early stages. Varying the temperature of your drinks is a really helpful technique to make sure you drink as much as possible. Try broths and high protein cup of soups too.

Funny you mentioned Food Network. I still watch lots of their shows, but I can'****ch Diners Drive ins & Dives or other shows that have excessive eating. Turns my stomach to see the gluttony. Yet I could watch a competition type show like Chopped all day without being tempted.

All the best, Katy

consult weight 241 (had not been accurately weighed for over 10 years, my medical records just said "wheelchair") high weight was probably closer to 260.
