Rebel's Diary

That does suck, Rebel but being on an even keel mentally should have the highest priority. Why can't they get these meds right? It's about time they improved them. Take care xo

They have! They´re so much better than they used to be. And they´re still working on improving them. But these silly bodies of ours use just a handful of chemicals for everything under the sun so whatever you put in to solve one problem will unavoidably influence something else. Which often sucks, but isn´t a moral failing of the medical community ;)
 
The meds are good and they help a lot of people. Why they play with my appetite; I really don’t know.

Today wasn’t overly bad.
Breakfast was a bowl of turkey chili over brown rice and some black grapes.
Lunch was more grapes and some chips and some mixed nuts.
Dinner was a wrap w mayo avocado and sliced turkey or chicken. I didn’t really look at the package. The only horrible thing was one of thos Starbucks botttled frapp things.
Tomorrow or today should be better.
The stove went out today so prob just snack type stuff.
 
Sounds like halfway decent food indeed. There´s even fruit in there :p Do you have a wood stove for cooking?
 
I'm glad you're back Rebel.
Have you been back to the doc to have the meds adjusted? I think R is still only taking low-dose Lithium but didn't get a chance to talk to him at the weekend about it. He's doing well on it, but still not sleeping well.

Thanks
They lowered the dose but it didn’t help.... ahh well.
Yea he may need something to help him sleep. The go to here is seraquill.
 
Things haven’t been going well. We found out my sons moms cancer is terminal and all we can do is keep her comfortable and wait. My son is really taking it hard.
I’ve gained 10 pounds so not good but not as bad as I thought. Going to start back eating right today. I haven’t really been eating too much but just the wrong kinds of food really late at night. The hospital vending machines and fast foods certainly didn’t help.
 
You will feel much better when you are eating healthier Rebel. That sucks about your ex's Cancer, but especially that your son is taking it hard. It's lovely that you are being so considerate.

The food is just getting in the habit of weighing and measuring again. Maybe if I start listing my food again it’ll help keep me motivated.
She and my son have always been very close. It’s just a stressful time all around.
 
First day back watching what I eat went ok. Ended up with 1100 calories.
B- protein shake
L- cup of coffee with a splash of almond milk and a chai latte.
D- english muffin with a fried egg and cheese x2.
 
Today was ok. The food I had was 1600 calories and my daughter gave me a partial bowl of this chicken broccoli cheese rice stuff so guessing about 400 calories. So overall about 2000 calories.

Breakfast- Scrambled eggs(2 whole and 1 cup egg whites) topped with salsa, 2 slices jalapeño bacon, 1 toasted whole wheat English muffin with butter, coffee with sugar free creamer.


Lunch- protein shake with peanut butter and banana, hand full of green grapes.


Dinner- lc wrap with mayo, avocado, sliced peppered turkey breast.

About half cup of mystery chicken stuff.
 
Yesterday’s food wasn’t good. I was at the hospital all day and ate there three times. Nothing bad but no idea of calories. It’s going to be the same again today.
 
Sometimes you just do what you have to do Rebel :grouphug:
