So, the EGD on the 10th successfully (so far) opened my fully sealed stoma and i have the paperwork to prove it. I have to go back on December 1st and have another done "just to make sure".... unless it closes before that...
Anyways, yesterday i actually ate, and retained, all kinds of things. I almost made my 80g protein goal!! Even the protein shakes are staying down! I never thought I'd be excited about being able to have a protein shake...
I must say, the Celebrate Vitamins brand ENS shakes have been a lifesaver! They're protein plus calcium plus multivites all in one! Yay, less chewables during the day!!! The cakebatter flavored ones are pretty good mixed up with 2% milk. I haven't tried the chocolate ones, but they're sitting on my shelf, so today might be the test, it's almost time for me to make a shake.
I'm experimenting again with different protein shake add-ins. Malted milk powder is good, so is PB2. I'm rather disappointed that most of the sugar-free chocolate or caramel syrups are so full of sugar alcohols. Blech! I need to start getting different Torani syrups to try out, so far i just have the french vanilla....
Anywho, I'm going to go make a shake and get to tracking my foods for the day. Do you use MyFitnessPal.com? You should check it out. Phone app FTW. ...I sound like an advertisement today, huh? LOL
