Aug 8 (Day 13)

I guess I'd better have some broth this morning. . . not looking forward to it because I'm not convinced that my gut is working. I can see that writing things down is good. It helps me to act when I need to. And it helps me to assess afterward. Today I sipped 2 T. chicken broth over 1-2 hour period. The nutritionist called to see how I was doing and suggested that I continue with 1/3 to 1/2 cup liquid per day and add Popsicles to my list of liquids. I had 1/2 single Popsicle for dinner. Stephanie suggest I try sucking on peppermint candy to relieve nausea. I tried it and it helped a lot. The relief lasted about 1/2 hour after I finished the mint. Overall, today was a good day.
