Thanks everyone for the advice. My Doc said what tower and Co-pilot was talking about. Dennis He did recommend allot of protein like you mentioned to prevent the muscle from basicly consuming itself if I'm playing sports or active outside stuff in the heat. Then he said but, You cannot get enough carbs so do not be afraid of those. They will be a quicker fuel to help muscle retain and take in the protein. I told Him good grief Doc I'm going to have to hire a dietician to go around with me all the time. He laughed and said just take everything We talked about and balance it out equally leaning a little more to carbs. Ok I can understand that. He did say that I need to find a weight gainer drink. I mentioned the ensure type products bt, He said He does recommend them to a normal digestive system but, I need something more radical. Those are more tame than imagined but great for the elderly or children who can absorb but, need to do it more slowly and carefully. Doc said I needed an IV bag of calories to wear around My neck.
There is a guy who helps the pro sport guys in Little Rock and yes We do have some pro sports here.
AFL 2 called the Twisters. We have held the attendance record for the league since it started about 4 or 5 years ago. We love football here in the south. But, anyway he helps them and another pro football team, basketball, hockey (which shocked the heck out of Me that it could last here but, it has).
He told me tell this guy He sent Me and He could help but, He is gone for the week. So hopefully I'll catch Him next week. I'm going to try and be careful this weekend. I have to Ump a 3 day girls fastpitch tourney with 3 Umps per field. 2 games on 1 game off if there are enough qualified plate Umps, which in Jacksonville, AR they are 3 and I'm one of them. We are bringing in Umps from around the state hoping to get more plate qualified guys or gals. It is supposed to be cooler here this weekend so that will help.
Doc wants Me to exercise but, I have to be careful because that can kill appetite in some. I told Him I'm very active and not changing that. I just got to find a way to fuel the engine. My problem now is that the tecture of some things just will not stay in Me to put it nicely. He said I just about could not eat anything that would hurt unless it surpressed My appetite of which I have none. I'm getting better about watching the time tower. It is so easy to get busy and look up and it has been 8 hours since I had something. I Love Baby Ruths so Doc said to go ahead and carry the mini ones around to eat as long as I'm taking My childrens chewables twice a day. I get vitamins IV mostly but, He said they have found that in My situation that there is something about the saliva mixing with the chewables allow them to be absorbed when no others will that You just swallow. They looked into liquid vitamins but did not mix with saliva enough. Somehow the chewable attaches to the saliva and prepares it to absorb. They figured it out with chemo patients who lose appetite bad. He said he wished weed was medically legal it is the best thing He has seen for appetite loss in the studies they do for cancer patients. But, He said it has such a bad stigma to it but, it could be so helpful for chemo patients. He said boy if i could prescribe that it would save allot of trouble the patients have. I know that is not a very scientific explanation but, heck I do not understand allot of this mess anyway. He said the same thing that can help You gain weight can cause loss if used wrong. I'm a little worried about summer with all the ball and Umping, not counting working on My Baby. He said I have to increase water but if to much i will negate the vitamin and mineral gain. He said switch back and forth between water and sport drinks to hopefully balance it out. I have never used sport drinks much so I'm behind the curve there. So recomendation would be useful there for sure. I am from the old school in sports from football days. Drink allot of water and live off salt tablets. Sometime I would get carried away figuring if a little was good allot had to be better. Man talk about sick from to much salt. YUUUUUUCK!! He said using either one to the extreme would not be good with malabsorbtion. Well anytime someone thinks of something or runs across something PM Me and let Me know so I can look into. I almost forget Doc did absolutely recommend the Macadamias nuts. I love them so i got to get out and get them. I had forgot about them because in My head I always looked at them as fattening so now they are a good thing. O BOY!!!
Thanks Gang
