It's official - being able to "eat" did not make everything wonderful!

So I got some real food yesterday. Tried scrambled egg at lunch and mixed some pouch tyson chicken with light mayo for chicken salad and had it with a few wheat thins. Today I have had a half of a cheese stick.

3 days ago or so I started having this nasty "taste" in my mouth, when I burp, just randomly like gagging when brushing my teeth and coming up with nasty phlegm, throwing up a bit in my mouth, etc. At first I struggled as to how to describe the smell or taste - but I have it now - like raw sewage. You know the smell you have when I drain backs up or you drive by the sewer plant? Yeah my body is producing this. I guess this is acid - I have no idea and consensus doesn't seem to be able to agree what it is. At first I thought maybe ketosis until I came across someone who said they "loved how their mouth tastes" while in ketosis. It would take a sick individual to love this. Dr says take ppi at night instead. Pretty sure I will taking one 2x a day and see what that does.

Was really hoping throwing some food in the mix might calm things down and also give me some Protein because the shakes make me want to hurl. Tried the unjury chicken last night - not bad for the first 4 ounces, had to choke down the last 4. My heart was racing by the time I was done. Well no wonder with 780 sodium UGH.

My hope was pinned on real food for so many reasons. Well I am allowed 20-30 mins to eat and let me tell ya that just is hard to do! I wanted to really get the whole cheese stick down today but I had to push it to get the 1/2 of it. If I could just take a little swig to get those tiny pieces of chewed up unflavored yuck left in my mouth it would be better. So then I sleep for 30 mins til I'm allowed to drink :(

I am so sad!

Aw, I am sorry, lady. That sounds quite hard to deal with. Hopefully, this won't last long!
