Thank GOD for Benecalorie. It's been a life saver, and I mean that in every sense of the word. Before I started my strict higher calorie diet I weighed 86.8lbs... I'm 5'6 so that's dangerously low. I was faced with the hard choice to completely halt treatment yet again & take my weight seriously. I was about a pound away from a feeding tube aka my biggest fear.
I'm really happy to report that after a month of this altered diet I am finally up to 91.3! It's still extremely low, & I have a ways to climb up to 100, but honestly I am so thankful for anything. Not losing weight & gaining even anything at all is a blessing! Its a slow process, certainly not easy or quick to do when you have a stomach that has 100 different kinds of aches per day. Eating through pain is quite the task. But it's moving along & I'm happy to report something positive for once!
I can not stress enough how much the cards mean to me that I receive from friends & family. My neighbor brought me fresh flowers last week & other family friends have sent cards & prayed for me. This means the world to me, the power of prayer is undeniable. I want to thank everyone for that & look forward to giving more good news in the future :)
