Padded Rooms and Eating Habits: Part II

After our appointments with the Psychiatrist we headed over for our June appointments at the clinic. Ally was seeing the Dietician assigned to her and I was going to be seeing my nurse. When we got there I was informed that the nurse was out for the week and that my appointment had been changed to another session with Patti. I was upset that no one had called to tell me of the change, and I had just seen her; but as I was going to have to see someone this month and she was the only one available I didn’t really have much of a choice.

Ally had dental surgery a week ago to get her wisdom teeth out. She ended up getting a really bad infection that spread and is having a really hard time eating. The Dietitian, Laura, while not very sympathetic didn’t really care that Ally couldn’t eat as long as she began drinking protein shakes. Other than that she gave her a recipe handout, recommended she begin with the prenatal vitamins and drink 10 cups of water a day. When ally got her weight she had lost 5lbs putting her weight down to 264lbs.

As for my appointment with Patti there was not much to talk about as I had just seen her not long before. We discussed potential stressors coming up, such as looking for a house and moving, and eating habits and why I choose certain food over others. At the end of the appointment Patti took my weight down and I had lost 3lbs putting me at 377lbs.

Ally and I left the clinic feeling like we hadn’t accomplished anything with these appointments. We had both the previous week gone to a clinic for a prescription for the prenatal vitamins and the Boost Protein Drink, and are just waiting for the special authorization to come thru on the protein drinks.

XOXO, Evie & Ally
