May 24, 2010

Okay, I'm doing well except I fatigue easy.  I am SICK of the protein shakes.  They are sweet tasting and I want something spicy, salty but I am not supposed to start on soft, pureed foods for 2 more days.  I didn't think I was supposed to be hungry, but I am.  Well, not actually starving.  Like I said, I need some variety.  I got in touch with the dietitian and she said I could go ahead and start on soft foods since I was keeping the protein drinks down without a problem, but that I must continue the protein drinks a while longer in addition to the food.   Ate a few bites of grits and that was all I needed to satisfy the craving.  BUT, there were still grits in my bowl and I am not finished eating.!!!!   I really wanted to finish the bowl, but I didn't.  Don't want to be sick. Quickly got involved in doing something else and forgot about it.     I find myself thinking about the next time I can eat and what I'm going to eat.   This is going to be harder than I thought.
