I am convinced im doing this all wrong. I forget to eat & know I should be on a schedule. Today I took a client home early because they had illness and I felt like I was going to vomit every time I coughed. I began drinking a premier shake and the feeling eventually went away. I can't help but feel I'm sabotaging my health .

I keep a consumption log on a word document each day that outlines when and what I eat and drink. (I do this separate from my food journal that tracks all of my macros.) When I am away from my computer, I keep the information in the Notes app on my iPhone and then update my word doc when I get home. I eat 8 times per day (about 2 hours apart), so this has helped me to keep up with everything.

I go within a second from not hungry at all to I'm going to throw up now if I don't get something in my mouth ASAP. I have learned to always keep a Protein Bar in my purse, and most of the time a bite or two satisfies the tummy.

Thank you guys I'm definitely not trying to hit the floor one day from lack of nutrients. I'm going to start concisely recording my food intake. I do very well with liquids & my urine is also clear. I see surgeon tommorow so I'm glad about this.

I sometimes forget too until I get that "Uh oh I'm queasy/light-headed" feeling. Usually, my Protein Drink does the trick. I had tried eating every two hours but it felt like too much - there were times I'd start to dread "snack time" because the thought of taking in more food just seemed unpleasant. I'm only 1 month out from surgery as of this week, so I think it's common in the early stages.
