Calorie counting works

Posted on 13 January 2010 at 12:00AM in General.

I gained 5.5 lbs. in the past week. Obsessive calorie counting gets the credit. So, no new holes punched and no tubes added. The doc thinks it may take another week or two before the mouth and throat sores go and the taste buds begin to function again, so eating is still a chore, but at least it works, and its not beige liquids! Another doctor (radiation oncologist) on Thursday, and the trips to Baltimore begin to slow down, finally. whew.

    Great news…and I like reading that the sores may lessen in the next couple weeks.

    Wonderful news! This is the first time I’ve been able to be happy about somebody else’s weight gain without it being Schadenfreude.
