So went for check up with nurse. Mainly for weight monitoring.
As usual I left feeling completely stressed and not listened to.
So I explained how the DERIK course last week didn’t help. In her credit she did sound surprised and thought it would have covered what I wanted. I explained that I wanted more detail and practical advice which is what she thought it would be.
So I ask her that I need to know how much of what to eat and likely effects etc. I know some of that is individual and you guys helped last week.
So I asked what grammage of each food group. She gave me a list she found off the internet which I have below. Shockingly the amount of carbs.
Anyway I then say that I sometimes eat because I feel icky but I’m not hungry (probably why tiny weight gain this month)
Anyway, I came away yet again feeling like no one understands and stressed.
It’s down to me to find out what works and what doesn’t without the help of the people that are supposed to help.
For example tonight I feel sick, have headache, feel emptying but I have no idea what to eat.
I’ve had humour with some homemade pork mince sausages and peanut butter but it’s not working.
I’m obviously doing it all wrong by the fact I’ve not lost weight. But god it’s so frustrating talking to the nurse. I’m thinking of speaking to doctor but not sure that will make a difference.
This is the chart nurse gave me as to what I should be eating!!
