@hopeful33250 Hi again, Teresa. To add a bit more to my response yesterday, I think my nutritional needs are not met right now bc firstly, there are so many foods that cause me IBS distress . I've been isolating them one by one as I realize the culprits but don't yet know which foods are safe. Trial and error. Therefore, I've had many hospital "emergencies". I've pretty much lost my appetite through this, and thus am very weak and dizzy. Since April, I haven't been "allowed" to progress with my walking outdoors regime at Assisted Living due to my propensity for blackng out but am told I can stroll the gardens here at my new residence in Long Term Care, Victoria, BC, once we get rid of the rare frigid temps and SNOW (unheard of here!). Laurie ❤

I can certainly understand what you mean when you say, "I've pretty much lost my appetite..." I've had three surgeries of the upper digestive tract to remove carcinoid lesions, a rare type of cancer, and there are times when eating seems more of a necessity than a need or a pleasure. I tend to feel full long before I've really finished eating.
You have an indomitable spirit, Laurie, which I admire. I hope the weather warms a bit so that you can get out and walk some. I find that exercise is important for appetite and good functioning of the digestive tract as well as a sense of well-being.
Will you keep in touch and let me know how you are doing?
