That is really brave of you for telling your PDOC. You should be proud. :-) I think a T would be more helpful though. They don't lecture, they work with you. That has been my experience anyway.
Yeah, what Racer said about Gatorade is true. Is is relatively low in calories. You can also just sip at it during the day. You don't have drink the whole bottle at once. Have you ever had an IV? Well it's usually a low drip IV. They don't shock your system all once. It's the potassium that is really important ... well they all are. I went into cardiac arrest in the hospital because my potassium was so low. Oh did that ever burn!
It's hard not to think of the calories. But you are doing a great job so far. Keep it up. Maybe I can learn from you.

MAxime> So I saw pdoc today and told him about my issue with eating. After his lengthy lecture, I left his office more scared than before. He told me I'm getting so tired mid-day because of lack of calories and protein, not because of the Wellbutrin (I was blaming the med). He also said what you, Racer & Maxime, have already told me. He said I may gain a little more weight if I eat 1,200 (minimum) cal/day but then should level out. He wants me to see a nutritionist. The thought of consuming so many calories is overwhelming.
