always

i am only a week out and trust me i can feel your pain, but i have met people like you and me...and it is worth the effort and yes this is an effort..you and i are out of the hospital ..walking talking and able to vocalize our issues..trust me some patient do not have it as well...i do the atkins chocolate shake 1/2 can in a blender with a scoop of protien powder, and a 1/3 of a 1/2 of sf fudge popsicle..if chocolate is tolerable this works and i do it twice a day...just got there though..it gives me between 40-60 gm protein a day...and yesterday was the first day i got there and it was a struggle...major ... i also take the gum ball vitamins 2 x per day...i bought them a vons and they work well, i also supplement the protein shake with a product called life essence, bunch of stuff in it...sounds good, but who knows..anyway once i can get those dowm and my tums...i actually can start to function...freezing crystal lite and letting it thaw and drinking it slowly is working for me as well...time..it took us time to get here and going to take some time to get where we are heading...my best of luck...sharon
