I'm home and a Looser!!

I want to thank Angie and Linda for stopping by to see on Monday. It really meant a lot to me. The welcome bag was very much appreciated also. The doc came in yesterday and said I could go home since I was doing pretty good. Now I'm back home and eating oatmeal, grits, fruit juices (but only this week) and trying to get in all the protein and water. Seems like I am always putting something in my mouth. I think I may be lactose intolerant because I mixed up a protein drink with 1% milk and it went right through me so I'm going to try the Lactaid and see what happens. I hope Gail gets to feeling better. My thoughts and prayers are with her. I am so thankful for all the well wishes this past week and so glad I have such a wonderful group of people that I can turn to. Regina (aka Looser)

Hi Regina and Welcome Home!! I experienced some lactose intolerance (LI) early on, but I am OK now. For me, it was the powdered milk mixed in w/the 1%. Yuck. I went on 1%, and I just drank lots of that. The LI seemed to eventually go away as I now drink 32-48 oz. of skim everyday with no issues. I don't know if there is any science to back this up, but the higher in fat the milk is, the worse it is on my stomach. My main food source during the first month was string cheese.

Welcome Home Regina! I'm glad to hear that you are doing well. Jaimee
