WTF-Beta

I wish I could see it!

WTF?

BTW, it sucks when it's the middle of the night and you have G but no T. Ask me how I know.

@jon-nyc Did anyone ever tell you that you look like Stephen Colbert?

I haven't read it yet. I'm waiting until I have the energy to concentrate. Thanks for posting it, wtg.

Living on a cruise ship is great if your idea of fun is getting infected with a serious disease and effectively quarantined or alternatively if your idea of fun is falling into the ocean and being left for dead.

When you calculate your trustee's compensation and think that's a good gig FFS.

wtg, what about onions? I just made hamburger with butter (it's what I had), salt, and onions.

To be clear, my acid reflux is mild. I started taking it because my GI said it would help my "unusually narrow esophogus. I don't know how that was supposed to do that. I never figured that out. I don't think it's been any help to me.

Joe, Yeah, I remember when you had to basically give up tea. So many"it is what it is moments in life.

I haven't seen better than his game. I haven't seen anything close to it.

Im flying to DC today (Meeting with FDA this afternoon) and I hear an announcement at Westchester Airport ‘paging passenger Martin Shkreli’

He is (or at least was last I heard) based here and it’s a pretty unusual name. I’m guessing it was him.

Must suck for him to have to fly commercial.

He should have to ride the bus.

Real investigative journalists FTW.

Btw- interesting fact- you need no educational credentials to be a journalist. You don't need any to be an architect either. As it should be.

But yes, come on, CBS is circling the drain.

It was bought by a Zionist billionaire on behalf of the interests of the state of Israel.

That's just a fact.

How can it produce remotely objective journalism now? It can't.

It's been one problem after another with CBS. I say CBS because it's "CBS" but it has nothing to do with the CBS we remember.

I'll keep an eye on that. Thanks.

Dinner-

1. Apple pie and ice cream AND I've cream.
2. Apple pie AND ice cream.

How's that for gluttony?

I'll make coffee in a while.

I'll start force feeding myself protein tomorrow.

BTW, love Sprouts! You can have the rest. I'm good.

I'll AI my meds re: absorption.

My GI prescribed the Omeprazole because of an esophageal issue. He said my esophagus was narrow.

I think it's causing more harm than good. I stopped talking it yesterday. I don't think it's doing much good, to the point, and with the possible side effects, I'll save what I bought OTC Walmart Equate in case I might want to take one capsule if I have bad acid reflux. So, between my supply (maybe 30 at this point) and my Tums almost full plastic jar, I won't need to buy it again.

Edit @mik I was writing this in the Dr waiting room, couldn't finish because I was called, and I'm writing again now that I'm at home.

Waiting for a Sprouts Farmer's Market to deliver food my Dr told me to get and organic Aldens vanilla bean ice cream (my favorite store bought ice cream ever and like I said to @chas my favorite food). And a double crust apple pie for good measure.

Black beans. Rice. Pea protein powder. In addition to beef, chicken, fish, etc.

(I was just briefly typing with my voice. I don't know how that happened but I want to learn- it was great.)

Ok.

Excellent visit!! It's amazing to have a good Dr and Nurse. I'm lucky.

Bottom line follow up-

I'm to eat the right amount of protein daily period.

Bloodwork ordered.

Follow up appointment scheduled in 2 months time.

Referral to a GI (a different GI because I wasn't unhappy but wasn't thrilled with the last one).

GI will decide what he or she thinks should be done.

2nd colonoscopy if GI decides one is needed.

Of course I'm a little freaked out that this is the state of my general health BUT I feel very relieved my Dr. did do and is doing everything I could have asked for, including his nutrition counseling.

I feel much better about all this today.

My weight was measured at 115. I'm 5' 7".

This is a good 2 lbs less than I weighed at 17 or about what I weighed at 16.

Yes, the weight loss is clearly only getting worse.

A lack of (an even close to- as it turns out) daily protein is causing my body to take what it needs from my muscles.

He explained the g units needed per day.

He said I need to have the daily protein intake required or more.

Time to get naked.

Really? I attribute it to Bari Weiss aka "turmoil". End of.

@jon-nyc Your story is inspirational and I'm glad you help so many others. I've wanted to know this information you shared for a long time but didn't want to ask. That's amazing.
