are you sure you want me to post?? lol

Well, Joe didn't get a chance to weigh yesterday because I had to go to work early for my mom and didn't know it. I don't think he can weigh today, but I am not sure.... if I remember correctly the dialysis unit isn't open on Thursdays anyway, Christmas or not. He might go ahead and weigh Friday, not sure. He is being pretty difficult with me as far as taking his supplements. I have stopped trying to make him protein shakes, I was even adding fresh fruit, like a smoothie, but no go. Now I guess what I need is for any of you to find recipes where I can hide high protein things like tofu, or whatever, in food, where when he eats small amounts, he gets protein. Right now, it seems the only thing he eats and keeps down is tomato soup. I haven't checked, but I wouldn't think it would be high in protein... so I guess if anybody out there wants to try, Jenny maybe, to find high protein things, not meat unless its small amounts of ground beef. Soups maybe... maybe I should just go buy hot and sour soup with extra tofu for the rest of his life, lol. No, actually, when I get the money for it, I am going to buy him some good whey powder from GNC and add it to milk. If he drinks that, I will have no problem. Then his protein will be through the roof. :) THEN, I will only have to get him nagged into submission on the multi-vitamin and the calcium citrate so his bones don't melt into his skin cause his muscles will already be gone from no multivitamins. At least I have a good outlook on things... lol... :) Can anyone else tell I am at wits end with the whole thing? OH! And to top it all off, people who have this surgery are supposed to dump, a.k.a puke-dizzy-cramp, when they eat sugars--- of course NOT JOE!! He can still eat sweets if he so desires. Makes me so mad!! Oh well. If anyone has any suggestions that are useful, email em to me at phyllisloren@yahoo.com please. Thanks, and I will keep you posted as soon as I know anything more as far as weight. I am going to get the vitamins... pray for me... lol!! You would think flintstones were cod oil-- I swear!!
