I made it through

Jan 12, 2013

After a week of home health care, iv feeds and blood draws through a PICC line, I finally reached hydration and good nutritional levels. Although I only had a one lb weight loss, I feel so much better!  I went off iv nutrition on Dec 31st and the PICC line came out on Jan 4th.  I went back to work on the 7th. The really beautiful thing is that the constant foamies subsided FINALLY. I have been exhausted by my nutritional journey, but honestly, the foamies were the worst. I have experienced them once last week and once this week but that was because I still have to teach myself to slooooowwwww down.  I have lost 32.2 lbs since my surgery on 11/20. Although the high calorie iv nutrition slowed my progress, I feel like I am still on track and successful.  Now, if I can just get my fiancee to stop asking what I want to drink with my meals. But I am not complaining.  He has been completely wonderful through the whole process.  It is just so tempting!
