January 28th, 2006stupid white meat
No real update, just wanted to say hi and that I’m still alive.. kinda.
And I’m eating chicken. Lots and lots of chicken. I had forgotten how much I really don’t like the chicken. Sigh. My lab results apparently also said that my protein levels were way too low and they wanted me eating lots of protein.
There are problems with this: a) I’m not eating much of anything and b) what I normally eat for protein (vegetarian over here).. well, the thought revolts me. Fish? Gag. Tofu? Gag. Beans? Gag. Because of the massive amount of bile in my tissues (nice to say out loud, isn’t it? ;P), most foods, unless they are very bland, sound, smell and taste gross. Hence the not eating.
The other problem is that I’m homebound and don’t have giant stores of groceries and protein things lying about.
Enter, the coworker, who not only went grocery shopping for me (buying lots of chicken products), she came and made soup, stripped a rotisserie chicken for sandwiches and hardboiled some eggs. The coworker is a saint. 🙂
Hopefully by next week my lab results will say “oo, she’s eating her protein,” because damn am I eating protein. Chicken soup, chicken salad, chicken sandwiches… I miss my vegetarianism.
And I’m sick of chicken.
i have some yucky throat thing going for me right now… and every food item i see makes me want to cry in pain and the thought of eating anything in general sends my tummy into convulsions… joy for me. oooh and i turn 26 on monday… i hope i am better by then so i can enjoy my choco cake.

If you can handle it, drink ensure. It has literally saved me numerous times when I couldn’t eat well enough. The chocolate is not so bad. It’s loaded with protein and is high in calories. only real downside is that it’s expensive, like $8.99 per six pack, But worth it if you can do it. it’s not just for old ladies…

YOu know how they always say that everything tastes like chicken? Dolphins, Alligators, turtles… you get the idea. Just pretend that you’re eating something like that instead and then think of how happy you’ll be when you snap out of it and realize you’re only eating chicken!
woo!
