Jules update

Just wanted everyone to know that Julie Dell Townsend is going to be scoped tomorrow morning to see if she has an ulcer. If that's not the problem, then she is pretty sure they'll do exploratory surgery on her. Say a prayer, swing critters, or whatever you do to support her through this please!

Swinging ponies for her!

Praying and swinging my cats. Please give Julie my best wishes.

Swinging lizards for her. Thanks for the update, Diane.

Oh dear, thank you for the update. Saying prayers and swinging beagles. Best of luck to our wonderful Julie!

Thinking of you, Julie!

Thanks Diane. Prayers for Julie, and please keep us updated!

Are you still doing better since your IV fluids?

Thanks Chad, I'll keep you updated.

I was starving yesterday, but no appetite today.  Have got my fluids in though.  I'm having difficulty with fequent loose stools since I received fluids, hope this passes soon, my hiney is getting very sore.  My question is, where does it all come from?! LOL

I tried a different protein powder yesterday, that may be the culprit too.

Did you use protein bars instead of protein powders?  If so, what did you use so you could get your protein in without overloading on carbs and sugars?  Did you just eat enough of them in a day to supplement the protein you were getting in with foods?

I'm tired of having all of these BM's, I want to get back to work but can't while I'm like this.

Diane, I had diarrhea from all liquid protein for months (it no longer does that to me though). I did eventually switch to protein bars at about 2-3 months out. If you are seeing the dieticians, check with them to see if they think you're far enough out.

I used to get the Carb Well protein bars at Meijer. These days I either eat Supreme Protein or Pure Protein bars. There are plenty of choices without a lot of sugar.

Thanks Chad!
