Hi,

your husband gets to do carrot - me? I do stick  ;D

WE WILL get you back to life and soul of the Party and if need be I shall leave you to guess what we will do with your Pole even if it is Bi-Polar (North Pole AND South Pole VEEEEERY Cold  ::) )

Well done so far!

Regards,
Greg L-W.

ok, ok, ok... ;D I'll do as you say and slow down. It isn't in my nature!! ;) I'm also a bipolar, you know and I tend to run manic! I like to be the life of the party but this last year it has been a little hard to keep up with that goal. Maybe soon I will be back on my feet. I will take it slowly and do as I should to take care of myself. I must be getting some nutrients now because I actually have a tad bit of energy. It will be a long time to get those 57#s back. In all honesty, I don't want ALL of them back. I was not terribly fat before but could have stood to lose 10 or 20 pounds. I guess it went overboard. I feel much better knowing that I can get the food in me and it is doing some good now. :D Your advice has been invaluable. Just good common sense that I don't have. ::) Always enjoy your posts. I am going to peruse the rest of the site now and read what I have been missing lately. take care, and thank you. elaine the rugrat. ;)

Hi Elaine,

see how much better it is when you KNOW you are in control but beware - short term achievement MUST NOT translate into taking risks - your system has been all screwed up for too long to fix over night ::)

The blender soups are a good idea but better half as much every 30 minutes than full amount every hour! Also do PLEASE be careful of the ingredients - NO GLUTTEN.

KISS Feeding ;) yeah Keep It Simple Stupid ;D

Don't take risks just one foot in front of the other - running comes later!

Regards,
Greg L-W.

Hi.. I don't want to be too enthusiastic at this point but today has been a good day. I am entirely on nutritional shakes and soups puree'd in the blender and doing much better. I think I can get through until the test Thursday eating this way. The real trick will be tonight in the middle of the night. At least I feel like I have some energy. I am drinking this mixture every hour hoping to get some nutrition in my system. Great!! Thank you all for keeping an eye on me. I'll post more later. :-* :) :) Thank you, rugrat...

That sounds OK, but not meals little and often and if digestion is a problem there is no problem with using a blender.
Keep a steady flow of nutrients in small doses.
I know hoe difficult it is but steel yourself and try to 'work through' the pain as I would not be surprised if that is no due to reactivating the stomach and gut.
The nasea could be due to slight mal function of the gall bladder and balance of its chemical output - what tablets are you on and how do you take them? Don't forget the reactivation of bile ducts for the digestive tract could well be all out of kilter.
If you hadn't realised this is exactly what a colonoscopy is then you are in for a surprise :o

Keep up the good work and enjoy thanksgiving.

Regards,
Greg L-W.

I've gained 2 pounds! tonight I am sick again. :'( I am eating small meals of boiled chicken, rice and some veggies. The nausea continues... since May. The pain I have had since August has increased dramatically this week. :-/ A double dose of Motrin doesn't phase it. I have another week to go before the colonoscopy. I am not depressed... just wishing that after all these months the doctors would get to the bottom of this. For whatever reasons they keep dismissing this pain. It is a symptom they can't see and because it is in the same area of the gall bladder surgery in July they won't even discuss it. Mr Rugrat has gone with me countless times and they still put him off and run another pointless test. It is always three weeks between tests. I've had seven misdiagnoses in as many months. They found the gall bladder and bladder cancer by accident!! >:( It is such a long story. tonight I am wishing I had gone to Indy for this to begin with as I did for the bladder cancer. If we get poor results from this colonoscopy i will be running to Indy. I won't stick around here. :-/ I am not depressed... just frustrated. Wish me luck and I'll write more when I feel better. I'm always pretty cheery when all this lets up. Maybe it is just irritable bowel syndrome! ;D Thank you all. Nighty, night, elaine the rugrat.
