diet needs
A billion, but we need to know your special diet needs to answer.
From: "CatNipped" Subject: OT - I'm SO Discouraged Date: Sunday, April 03, 2011 11:29 PM Granted, I was carrying a lot of fluid (my feet and hands were twice their normal size), but at the surgeon's office I weighed in at 104. The day I was discharged from the hospital I weighed myself on my digital scale and it showed 104.0. Well, I just weighed myself again and I weighed 97.6! That's 6.4 pounds I lost in two days!!! The surgeon won't do the surgery to reverse the ileostomy until I gain at least 20 - 25 pounds, and I can't do that going backwards. Eating and drinking sugary/high fat foods didn't help - they just gave me diarrhea and made the situation worse. Back on-topic... does anyone have any suggestions / recipes for high caloric / high protein meals and snacks? -- Hugs, CatNipped See all our masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped See the RPCA FAQ site, by Mark Edwards, at: http://www.professional-geek.com/rpcablog/ Email: L(dot)T(dot)Crews(at)comcast(dot)net |

diet needs
The surgeon (and the in-house doctor) said I could have anything - no
restrictions, the only requirement is for me to gain weight. Of course, I don't want to eat junk food, but anything high in protein* and high in calories is OK. So far, I've been told/read that the following are good, but I have to wonder if too high fiber are really good for me because of the intestinal issues. My list so far: meats, of course avocados almonds or any type of nuts a lot of whole-grain bread (eaten at every meal) Again, high calorie is OK, some fat is OK, but I don't want to eat a lot of saturated fats for the sake of my overall health. I just get really frustrated because, no matter how much I eat, I seem to keep losing weight. *Right now I'm losing hair in clumps, my nails almost completely stopped growing and the little bit there bends backwards like paper. The wound, however, is healing pretty nicely, so I'm thinking that my body is "rerouting" nutrients there (which is OK with me if the requirement for surgery weren't weight gain). -- Hugs, CatNipped See all our masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped See the RPCA FAQ site, by Mark Edwards, at: http://www.professional-geek.com/rpcablog/ Email: L(dot)T(dot)Crews(at)comcast(dot)net "cshenk" wrote in message ...

Back on-topic... does anyone have any suggestions / recipes for high caloric / high protein meals and snacks? CatNipped I got a food suggestion. Ever since it became popular lately I ignored and abandoned the notion of eating "Greek" yogurt. I eat a lot of yogurt but I hate Greek food in general and mistakenly believed the yogurt with that name tasted like Greek food. Well,, recently my friend Plastic Woman from FL (you remember she of Moe, her Tux cat who was lost and found in Kansas City) straightened me out totally; not only is Greek yogurt good but it is loaded with protein and easy to digest as well. It comes in flavors and thanks to the current acceptance by public consumption is available from several mfgrs in grocery stores.It is not thin and runny like regular yogurt, but thick like pudding and if you turn spoonful ups9de down, will not fall off or drip down.If you are not a yogurt person...its more like eating pudding, to me. That's a great suggestion. Not only does Greek yogurt has lots of protein, but it has bacteria cultures that are good for the GI tract. So that should be good for Lori I tried Greek yogurt for the first time recently and found I prefer the regular yogurt. But to each his/her own. |
