Baby Steps

Hello Friends,
   I'm sitting here with 62 g of sauteed scallops and it tastes real good.   Things are looking up.  I'm eating those tiny jars of strained baby meats and now I'm adding small amts of fish and scallops.  I saw the doc yesterday and we agree that I will not risk any powders until I heal up the tear on my left side.  My protein intake will be sub-par but we can't see anyway past that.  I'm just so relieved that I'm tolerating the meats that I'll take it.  So I am now able to eat baby meats, egg beaters, cod and scallop.  All pure proteins.
   I am able to take walks outside and I even walked dogs with my neighbor today for 40 minutes.  I'm a slow-poke but it isn't a race, either.  All in all, I am making good progress.  I still have the diarrhea but it is well controlled by the imodium.  Of course, living on under 300 calories doesn't afford me much energy so I'm still pretty weak.  But I'm on my way.  Success right now is simply the absence of dry-heaves.  The rest is gravy.  Thinking about you all.  Treading

Treading, one day at a time.  At least things are swinging in the right direction now, and a 40 minute walk - that's super! 

So glad to hear you are doing better.  Keep taking those baby steps, and before long you will be back to your old self.

I'm so glad that you're doing better.  I've been worried about you.

 Treading - this is the best news I've had all day :) Things are looking up. So happy you're doing better.

Okay, I am jealous that you can walk for 40 minutes and eat scallops.   I had some eggbeaters last night and it was like heaven.

I am glad that you are doing what you are to make you comfortable and get your protein in.  I truly hope this works for you and you heal fast(er) and do not have probelms further out.

My thoughts are with you.

 glad to hear from you treading, your spirits some better. take it day by day!
wow 40 minutes is wonderful
