Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought I'd have trouble eating enough. I'm still having some difficult episodes. I've been trying really hard to keep hydrated but I still have difficulty tolerating both food and drink sometimes.
I used to eat pretty fast. I could eat something so quickly that I forgot I'd eaten it. That's right. I'd bring some cookies over to the computer and ate so absent-mindedly that I'd go looking for them and be surprised that there were no more left. Not anymore.
Now I have a spoonful of something and have to wait a few minutes to make sure it stays down. Sometimes I feel some gurgling and belch a few times after a tiny bit of food. Some days I have had trouble getting in all my protein and all my fluid.
Today I crushed my big pills and mixed them with some pudding. An hour later I drank some Crystal Lite and it didn't stay down. A little later the same thing happened with water. Now I'm struggling with applesauce. I really don't want another trip to the ER.
Best wishes,
Marlena of Mohegan.
