I’ve had to practically force myself to eat for the past few weeks. I just haven’t had an appetite. It’s been a royal pain because eating and getting the nutrients I need especially the potassium that I’m lacking is so important. Plus being on extra meds means having to eat more because with every med I take I need to have some food along with them.

Hubby has been trying to tempt me with all kinds of food even things I shouldn’t have like french fries with ketchup and mayonnaise, baked potato with cheese and sour cream (that’s a good one with lots of potassium), almonds (another good one), ice cream, veggies in cheese sauce, pasta, etc, etc. I’d sit there and look at the plate and eat some of it. That’s when he knows that I’m really sick.

But today I was hungry! I am right now too. I ate and ate. My Pastor’s wife had brought over homemade bagels so I had one for breakfast with some fruit salad. For lunch I had some of the chicken and brown rice she made and veggies on the side. I had a huge bowl of salad with cut up turkey, sunflower seeds, tomatoes, cucumber, shredded cheese, carrots and Ranch dressing. Yummy!

Oh and Hubby came home from work today with the best surprise. A store that he delivers to is closing for the season and gave him a huge bag of mini M&M’s. I had him hide them away because I kept eating them. Now I’m thinking about what to eat with my night time meds….
