As you may have read in other posts, this is by far the worst week for me with eating.

I entered in my foods into fitday and by supper last night I had 288 calories and 18 grams of protein. I added a yogurt to this at bedtime. I find my pouch acts like my gallbladder (thats no longer there) and gives me indigestion from lack of food, the yogurt calms is down and lets me sleep for a few hours. Tums also helps.

Thanks to everyone for their assistance on getting in more protein. I am trying. Food and smells turn my stomach I feel like I am pregnant again (not).

In the last few days anything with flavor is a turn off - I am back to plain water from crystal light, botanicals and propel...I just can't stomach them. Funny thing is I made tortellini and polish sausage with alfredo sauce for my hubby last night and it smelled really good...parmesen cheese too. Didn't try any of it, but funny how something so strong in flavor seemed ok, yet the smell of crystal light makes me run to the bathroom.

Its early in the morning now and I am wondering what to eat today. I think I will start with some cereal or a yougurt smoothie and maybe keep to fluids for the good part of the day to see if I can keep it down.

At first I thought maybe there was a problem, but I can keep certain things down better that others and unfortunately, the protein is the one coming up.

My thoughts are trying nuts and peanut butter later in the week to increase the protein content.

I see the doctor on Wednesday and will convey this to him. I haven't done he number 2 thing for almost 10 days now.........and no feeling to do so now.

Just needed to whine.....
