Aug 28-Sept 4

I've been terrible about keeping track of my progress this past week. Last Wednesday I talked to the TPN dietitian and she told me that they wanted me to be on it 3 days (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) for the week. I felt bad that the doctor hadn't told them that we decided to taper me off it soon enough to have the order changed for the week. They deliver 7 bags Wednesday instead of 3 bags. The dietitian told me to throw away 4 bags. That's kind of hard to do, considering each bag costs $1,000. The dietitian told me I should worry about that--that my health was more important and that it was better to throw away the bags than use them if I could get along without them. She asked me to keep track of my weight and how much I ate each day. I told her no problem because I kept a log anyway. Well.. . .. for some odd reason, as soon as I had to keep track I stopped doing it. Now it's Wednesday and I have to try to reconstruct what I ate all week.. . . (I remember Alysa and I trying to do this on the way to her eating disorder clinic and it's pretty hard to do). . . I need to email the list to her this morning. . . .This is as good as I can do.

Aug 30--Shapeway smoothie (250), Quaker instant oatmeal (130), baked potato (150), 1/2 cup trader joe's yogurt(60), 3/4 cup cooked carrots (30), 2 boosts (500)= total 1120 calories .
