Not so with Caroline. She will have a Lo-fibre high fat diet. If Cheese or Cream can be added, then pour away!!! She will be living in a parallel universe of dieting!! So my own particular struggle to maintain my own amazing figure will get tougher! surrounded by the temptations of Cheddar, Goats cheese, Cream cheese.
Caroline needs to pile on the pounds!!
The dietician has decided to remove Caroline from the food drip, due to the adverse effects that this was having on her. This means that she is now a woman freed from the ties of drips and tubes hanging off her, but it also means that she is on a diet consisting of bulk-up foods - drinks, mousses, yogurts, soup.
The difficulty is getting Caroline's digestive system to operating in a new way. She still suffers from nausea, heartburn/ reflux. But even worse she feels bloated! This means that she cannot eat that much. The dietician has decided to defer her discharge from hospital until she is able to hold down food comfortably. This is the next battle she has to fight. Most people can lose up to 2 stones in weight in this struggle, before their digestive systems get round to a new way of working. This could mean that Caroline ends up being 5 stones in weight!!
Prayer points are obvious- CAROLINE NEEDS TO PUT ON WEIGHT! Particular points are
- Lose that sense of being bloated.
- Be able to drink 1 fortisip bottle a day.
- For the nausea and reflux to calm down.
- For her digestive system to be a quick learning system and get use to a life without a stomach.
