Day 5

Well it is only just after 4 but today has been much better. Judy spent most of the day mixing protein this way and that way trying to get something I could survive with.

She mixed one of the bullets into some jello. I think I can handle it. I don't really taste the protein but I think my mind is messing me up. So time will tell.

I am really getting a gut check. I am absolutely addicted to food. I won't pretend to know what it feels like to go through withdrawals from drugs or alcohol but I have to believe I am experiencing some of the same things. I quit smoking 10plus years ago so I do know what that withdrawal is like...this food withdrawal is 100 times harder. 1000 times.

Yesterday could be partly from the antibiotic was taking. Judy checked with the Doctor when she became concerned about my trembling and shivering along with the sickness to my stomach. We all should have thought that antibiotics should be taken with food.

A week or so ago they put me on medicine for Diabetes. Mt GTT showed that I am experiencing big swings in my sugar level. I thought I had problems with low sugar sometimes. So when I was eating anything and no sugar I thought I was in trouble. I have checked my sugar a couple of times and it is holding steady. I guess that is some proof the meds are working.

I Finlay began taking my blood pressure meds after many months of refusing. Some will recall I was on meds at a very young age early 20's. But after stopping smoking I came off them. Though looking back I don't think that problem ever left.

I am on a aspirin a day for my heart. Then there is the sleeping pills. Basically right now I am taking about 4 or 5 pills a day.

But hey guess what!? My Cholesterol is 131!

Just about got 42 grams of protein in another 42 to go. Judy is at the store buying more jello.
She is also losing weight and eating good. She is down I think it was 8 pounds already!

Mom is on her cruise about now. Maybe someday we can go again and this time not be limited on the shore excursions.

I may update again later tonight.
