*** 04/11, What did ya eat? ***

Doing ok today--- I really don't want to eat today--- Ive had to force the food and drink down my throat. Tonight is my local support group meeting YAY, I love going to the meetings. We go out to dinner afterwards--- Im gonna find something I can eat, even if its only 2-3oz hehe. Fluids: 12oz Crystal lite & 8oz water Breakfast: 3oz Dannon Lite & Fit w/ a few sprinklings of Special K Fluids: 7oz Crystal Lite Snack: 2oz hummus, 4 soy crisps & a wedge of laughing cow cheese (Can you tell Im a creature of habit? LOL) Fluids: 8oz skim milk Lunch: 1.5oz Tuna salad & 1 small cracker. Fluids: 10oz Crystal Lite Dinner: Not sure yet, going out after support group! I need more water, and Im sure I'll do another 16.9oz bottle during support group. How did everyone else do today?

Well, today has definitely not been one of my best. Fluids = about 30 ounces so far Food = I got a Mandarin chicken salad from Wendy's. I ate the chicken and half the madarin's. Tonight I will get in at least one of my profect protein drinks. For dinner there's no telling. I'm still really struggling with the whole food issue. SLM
