Thanks Heather xx

Lynne K I admire your efforts with biking, breath-stacking etc. And glad you've found something you can eat and enjoy xx

[Lynne K]

I did 40 minutes peddling after that. I had to stop there as legs began to feel shaky xx

I managed the poached eggs on toast and going to have a vegan yogurt to finish. They say that a little bit of what you fancy does you be good. I really enjoyed that after two weeks of mostly liquid food 😀 xx

Love poached eggs....that's my 'go to' snack😉😘

They have also insisted on a phone appointment (agreed with my husband) which irritates me as I can't speak well so I will sit there annoyed while they discuss me.

That's not on TinyLady Insist on a video consultation, with a chat facility, reminding them that you are the patient, not your husband. xx

GillB - I am yet to be seen at the MND clinic and get diagnosis "confirmed" - so some things are getting rushed through anyway, but some areas won't recognise the urgency until I have confirmed diagnosis. It's been a nightmare.

My weight loss is 14kg, but I weigh very little to start with. I'm very tiny 🙂

Lynne K - my swallowing and chewing is effortful, as is use of my hands. I tend to find if I have been talking (however badly) then I have less energy or appetite for eating.... ice cream is a good option for me, but obviously not for you, that must make it so much harder.

I really fancy poached eggs on toast so asked Steve to do this. I’ll give it my best shot and take my time. If the toast is too much to chew then I’ll end up with just the eggs xx

March is a long time to wait. Dietician was the first person I saw. If you can get her to come earlier as they have lots of good advice. I managed to put some weight back on. My loss was 10kg. Double cream on and in everything and fortified full fat milk made with four tablespoons of marvel.

That’s good that you’ve put weight back on. I can’t have cream so more difficult for me to make sure that I don’t loose more weight, Lynne xx

Have you seen a dietician yet? It is usually an intervention when you have lost a significant amount of weight i.e more than 10% of your body weight. I was prescribed Altraplen drinks on her first visit. They are quite nice and she gave me a few others to try. I had been losing weight and didn't know why until my diagnosis. Significant weight loss is also a factor in getting a feeding tube early.

Thanks Gill. The local nutritionist phoned a few days ago and spoke with Steve. She’s sending me some non-dairy samples. I’m milk protein intolerant so have to be careful what I eat or get the runs (obviously I can’t run).

Do the Altraplen drinks contain dairy? Lynne Xx
