No apologies needed for the long post, @nancybev. Good to hear from you! I'm glad to hear that you are keeping out of the hospital. The diet seems to be working for you, although it seems somewhat restrictive.

Do you feel you are getting enough protein and nutrition from your diet? If so, how are you accomplishing this?

@hopeful33250 , I've actually been working hard to find nutritionally sound ways to do this. For example, my breakfast this morning is a glass of lassi--soy or coconut milk whipped up with fat-free Greek yogurt with active cultures and some spices (good amount of protein, calcium, etc.), a glass of organic no-pulp carrot/orange juice, and coffee (because I need caffeine!! 🙂 ). Other mornings I might have prune juice for iron and laxative properties.
The smoothies I often have at night contain everything a nutrtionist could wish for--banana, milk, protein powder and/or tofu, avocado, spinach, oats, yogurt. I take multi-vitamins, too. I try to make everything I put in my mouth nutritionally rich. If I do eat any solid food at night, I keep it low-fiber (pizza!!), and I chew everything (even juice) like crazy before swallowing, to get digestion started.
I think I'm probably "eating" healthier than I ever have!
