steady........ steady..........

So I am a little worried. I am healing just fine, scar wise and such. No hernia or anything like that. So that is not it, but......

Well I can't gain weight. In fact I am having a hard time even maintaining weight, even at my super low activity level.

I got out of the hospital at 129lbs. I am 126lbs currently. While not time to freak out in worry, it IS something that needs attention paid to. If I can't keep my weight up while I am just sitting around most of the day, what will happen when I am able to do all the things I want physically? Will I even have the caloric ability to?

I do not have much of a hunger urge, I am unable to eat very large portions. Missing more than half of my small intestine is definitely a challenge. But I really want to be able to meet all my nutritional needs by what I can take in orally. I do NOT want to have to be on TPN again.

My surgeon and GP joke that I should be happy I could eat McDonalds all the time and not gain weight. I don't think it is very funny. I went to the Vitamin Shoppe and got myself a whey protein supplement I am going to drink twice a day and a Super Green Food supplement I will drink each morning. The former to add a large amount of protein to my diet without the intestinal challenge of digesting all that meat. The second to see if all the probiotics and such won't just help me with the digestive process.

I also have two more months of Testosterone supplements to help with adding weight and mass to my body.

I'll let you know how it goes...
