Soup and sandwich might be a good choice. Better if Rusty prepares it!

You have never ate my kind of soup and sanwiches my dear. Real soup has fresh veggies and real meat in it. Lots of seasoning and a couple of hard boiled eggs. The grilled cheese has 1/4 inch of velveeta between 2 slices of seltzers sweet lebanon bologna on 12 grain bread.

Tasted great also. I showed great restraint and only ate that one plate. Putting the rest away for lunch tomorrow. Damn weight has jumped the past 5 days in a row.:hammer::hammer::hammer:7-8 lbs. Go figure. I have to blame it on too many fresh vegetables as that is all that really changed.

Or it could be that one of your meds needs adjusted?

Well i doubled my lasix this morning and will see what the morning weight is. Does seem like it must be fluid. The only thing I have had that I normally don't was peanut butter on celery stalks. Did eat 4-5 over the past 2 days. Been eating more carrots as snacks. I will just keep a close eye on it.

Celery is pretty high in sodium (believe it or not) - so is that peanut butter, unless you're eating a brand that isn't.

Well don't obsess over the pounds. My weight has been jumping around last 10 days and my coumadin as well. Be patient and it will come around. Those shakes are never going to taste like real food but they are important for survival. Just know that all this pain and aggravation has a reward at the end. Six months from now you will look back and realize it was not as bad as it seemed at the time. Hang in there girl!:clap::flowers:
