I saw my dr today and my appt when really well. I've lost 24.4 lbs (happy dance) he said that everything that I've felt this week (nausea, weakness, dizzy, retching) is normal. He said not getting in my full liquids is normal. I don't have pneumonia (thank God) just a really bad cold & chest congestion. He said I can move from Clear Liquids to applesauce, creamy Soups, Beans, milk... just to focus on high Protein and low carb. He said to keep crunching ice as often as I can to keep getting in the liquids.

He said to build up my Proteins slowly and to aim for drinking an entire Protein shake every day. The ones I have are 35 grams protein, 1 grams carb & 1 gram sugar & 150 cal per 11 oz can.

He told me to focus on nutritious foods over quick filling foods. He also said to add some items that have sugar, like juices but to cut with Water.

He prescribed 40 mg Prilosec to keep tummy calm, a multi Vitamin, tums with Calcium but said for me to crush for another 2 weeks. Said if I had acid reflux or need something quickly to sip a bit of maalox or malanta liquid.

I have mixed a few spoons of applesauce & a bit of apple juice to make it really thin and was able to eat that and keep it down.

glad things are going well for you...very encouraging...keep up the good work

Pure Protein Shakes, this one is banana cream flavor, it's kind of got an artificial aftertaste, but it has 35 G protein & 1 g carbs.
