I am bound and determined to get off the TPN. I don't think I need it anymore. But my doctor told the nutritionist that I have to be at 1500 calories first. The dietitian gave me some ideas on how to up the calories of food I am already eating (adding 1 T. olive oil to smoothie and soup). Here's my food log for today:
Smoothie (350), Crackers (30), Soup (260), 2 boosts (500), Soup (260)=1440 total calories. I admit, I feel like one does when they've eaten themselves into oblivion. I have a stomach ache and don't look forward to eating like this tomorrow. . . .but I will. I have to. I'm going out of town for the weekend. It's going to be hard to eat enough. I'll have to get some boost because the 2 boosts a day help a lot. Maybe we can go out to eat and I can get some fish. Anyway, it will be a challenge.
