long time no write

Hi all I am back to work so I can check in now and again. Hope you all had a good summer. I didn't do much just sat around and didn't eat. I saw the surgeon last week. Not my original one he has moved on. But one at the same clinic. I really liked him he took time to talk to me about some of my problems and even dictated what was to go on my chart so I knew exactly what was there. I have been having a lot of problems with eatting. I can't seem to eat anymore. Who would have ever thought that. Not me. It hurts when I eat meat, and food sometimes makes me gag. It just doesn't taste the same. So needless to say I really lost the weight this summer but I also was very weak. I did have to increase my protien shakes to 2xs a day. Any how he told me that it would change in time and food would taste good again. He also suggested I eat the thin sliced meats with a little mayo or miricle whip on it rolled up around a piece of cheese. It has worked pretty good. But it still tastes bad to me. My stomach doesn't hurt though when I eat it so that is a plus. I did some counseling on this also because I didn't want this all in my head and not get some help before it got worse. For the first time in my life I was told it wouldn't hurt me to gain 10 lbs. I never ever thought I would hear those words apply to me. Well I will try to do better about posting but don't usually have much to say. Have a great day. Cindy G.
