I actually ATE dinner tonight

[southernlady]

I figured I’ve been averaging about 600 calories per day, or 200 with malabsorption figured in per day all week. I’m literally on a starvation level.

I’ve been exhausted, cold, tired. Lost 5 lbs this week. Lbs I didn’t need to lose.

But today, I actually had a real meal.

We got some Hormel Beef tips, small serving sizes of Bob Evan’s Mashed Potatoes, we almost finished off one between us, I added butter. And a can of sweet peas with no salt. We like those better. I had two servings of everything but my serving sizes were very tiny. And I was full. But I actually had a REAL MEAL. It’s a start.

We also went by Affordable Dentures to make an appointment for about two weeks from now. I figured it’s gonna take about that much longer to fully heal. And the lady at the front desk agreed. Hopefully it won’t take long to get the bridge made to fill in that gap.

Hopefully I can do it again.

Well…progress, no matter how slow, IS progress.

And, I like those beef tips and mashed potatoes. Butter ‘em up!

Exactly! And this morning I finally got all my vitamins in for the first time since I saw the dentist two days before I had the teeth pulled. I knew I couldn’t stop my aspirin and Plavax but that didn’t mean I couldn’t stop my other blood thinners like my E, my multi which had E in it, my Celebrex. Then afterwards, I was lucky to get my prescription medications in. Didn’t even attempt the Vitamins so it’s been a week without, I was getting the prescription meds all tangled up with the dissolvable stitches. And that would cause bleeding. So trying to take vitamins wasn’t gonna happen. And that wasn’t helping my health status.

Glad you're feeling better! I hope you'll be able to really chow down soon.

Can you add in Vit K? Would that help?

Up until a week ago when I ended up not taking any of my vitamins, I was taking K. It’s back in rotation now. I only stopped it when I went to just my prescription meds.

YAY, a meal! keep it up!

YAY, a meal! keep it up!

I have, three meals in a row. Now to figure out something new cause the beef tips are gone,

I’ll figure something out between now and dinner time. I’m not a plan ahead type, more of a let’s see what we feel like today.
