Dear Diary: I Haven't Eaten Much Today

I only had some cheese sandwich today with a little mayonnaise and a sticky rice cake for dinner which only had coconut cream and sugar in it and some pineapple juice that's it. I was planning to drink some of my protein shake but my mother handed me my pineapple juice before I requested for the protein shake so I had the pineapple juice instead.

Anyway it is still good because a low protein intake means less protein toxin byproducts that my body produces. Many years before I just had endured protein byproduct toxicity which made me nauseated and ill with all that ammonia breath bothering me a few hours after my dialysis.

Luckily I have found out in using a more efficient dialyzer, the filter for blood used in dialysis. So it has bigger holes that allows much toxins to pass out from the blood so in turn I am much cleaner after dialysis and doesn't get much ammonia breath profoundly.

But maybe I will enjoy my late lunch for tomorrow because the convenience store from which I buy my dialysis meal had opened again and I will once again will be able to have some of that fried meal with gravy on rice in a bowl which I haven't had in three months. I just like it with extra gravy and I tell my mother always to tell the clerk to put extra so I can eat it easily.

I do still have an appetite problem due to my regular intake of my parathyroid medicine and it sucks because food doesn't taste good until I am hooked up for dialysis so it affects my health especially my weight but I am still carefully managing it all and I am still optimistic that I can surpass these things that makes me feel ill and disabled.

I would say you are having a good day. :-)

Really excellent :)
