I'm finally back to work today.  Apparently I have a kidney infection and the antibiotics seem to be working because I'm not in as much pain.  I've been eating and getting my Protein in but I haven't had much appetite but today I feel like I am an empty pit and the starving feeling just won't go away  and it is a very nauseating feeling.

Yikes, a kidney infection - I've dodged having one of those to date.

I tried some 'supposedly' flavored cod liver oil and all I can say is yuck!!  The Vitalady stuff is DEFINITELY much much better!!  I enjoyed the effect of the olive oil I had the other day, just not the taste and I was hoping for better with the cod liver oil... oh well, I'll be having this for several weeks!! :-S

I seem to go if I have my popcorn every night.  I know it's bad but I quit taking my multi vitamin and that has helped too.  I still take my D, A and B12.

Sounds Good!

Oh Roz - that sounds painful and tiring to say the least.  My husband takes a three week course of antibiotics every 6 weeks for a chronic illness ****reated Lyme Disease) and he swears by pro-biotics as well as eating solid protein to help with the nausea.  Don't know if that will help any but thought I'd put that out there...

For me I had my second visit to the GYM - whew am I out of shape.  And saw my nutritionist for my 5 week post-op - cleared to eat solids and everything else looks good :)

Water good, vits fine  

I'm going to increase my Prilosec for a couple of day and see if that helps.  I still have 4 days of antibiotic left.

Sounds Good!

Eat some yogurt to get good bacteria back in your system.  Sorry you are feeling bad.

My meals have been screwy because I had an early appointment.  Trying to get back on track.  No walk or playing with ponies. 

decaf protein coffee  33g
flax muffin, cream cheese, SF jelly
peanuts
lemon tea protein  13g
hot dog
fish, cole slaw
protein shake 33g

ps,  After sitting all afternoon and missing muscle pump, the vet called at 5:30 to say she would come next week.  Oh well.

Should I use regular greek yogurt or something like activia?  That's shame you had to miss your exercising and now you will have to miss it next week too.

Any yogurt should help. 

At least next week we are at 10 instead of late in the day.

Thanks Price!  That's good you got a better time.

if you eat yogurt on antibiotics Roz  the medicine will just kill the active cultures in the yogurt not in your system .  You take the  probiotics a few days  AFTER  you take the last antibiotic ( they work 48 hours )
