In the Hospital...

   feel better. Be happy for the burnt steak. I've been hospitalized with strictures by intestine/stomoch four times in last 6 weeks. They put me on NPO (no food) just iv until balloon dialation     It's amazing what food we can be happy with compared to past life.  Regards

Yikes!  Four times?  Alrhough I might rather be npo than have that steak...

I am home now.  Back to my own better food options.  Funny that the liquid diet appeals more at the moment, but maybe just the shock of losing control in the hospital...

Good luck to you!  

Oh no; I'm so sorry this happened to you.  I read that you're home again now; thank goodness.

My Dad had a mini stroke this summer, and it was terrifying but he's been doing great since.

Glad you were able to get your bloodwork done ;-).

Sending hugs and warm thoughts your way.

I am sorry to hear about your challenges, but can you imagine what it could have been if you were still carrying around those extra 57 pounds (info from your ticker).

Ask about a diet for diabetics.  They might have some SF stuff that they are not thinking about,  There is also high-protein gelatin product that is sometimes stocked at hospitals. 

Hi - thankfully I got out of the hospital after a couple of days, and My had my mother bring me protein shakes.  That was tough!  You lose complete control of exactly how many calories you take in... I had to rely on their portion sizes which were NOT as described.

They did have carb sndprotein counts on all menu items.  I am grateful to be home... and boy do I realize how much help it was to have almost 60 pounds less!
