Nutritionist yesterday…

I met with my nutritionist yesterday.

She basically told me to gain weight in preparation of loosing it in Chemotheropy. She is happy with the way I am eating right now but told me to try to eat a bit more so I would start plumping up. Right now I don’t weigh enough to loose any. She also told me to use the excercise program that I purchased last month. This could help with stress relief and other things too so that would be good for me.

I had found online ways to bulk up including drinking “double milk” which is dried milk mixed with regular milk to make it more calorie and protein rich. She said that it isn’t needed that I go to that yet. However I should not hold back when eating things. If I am going to have hot cocoa then I should have it with marshmellows and whipped cream. If I am going to have ice cream go for the toppings as well. Basically eat what I want and can. I am also to contact her if I have any questions and if I need to see her then I should call and they will put me in her schedule ASAP.

While I was there I also got copies of my 3 hour glucose tollerance test that I had in October since I think this could be important since some of the chemo drugs do mess with insulin levels.

Today Max is going to be the cow in the nativity story. The older children at church are going to be singing a song and Max will need to come walking by (in cow costume that I made him) and put hay under the baby Jesus and then walk on. Tony will be video taping this with the camera so that I can post it on here when I get home. This should be intresting to say the least. Ha ha!

I will post more later!
