Formula...Days 1-4

I started drinking the formula 5 days ago on Monday. Needless to say it has been a rough adjustment. I am supposed to go through a can a day, but as of now I am barely 1/2 way through this first little can. For the first couple of days, everytime I would take a sip, I would get sharp pains through my esophagus and stomach and I was hardly able to get enough down. I will admit that I did have some crackers and some tortillas over the last couple of days to help get something in my stomach while my body adjusts to the formula.

Yesterday started out better. I was able to get more down and I think that I am getting used to the taste of nastiness. I have been adding a little bit of flavor to it with the Strawberry Nesquick powder since it is 100% artificial. However, last night I went to make another glass for dinner time and I got so dizzy and weak I couldn't stand. My head hurt and I kept feeling like I was going to pass out. I know it's from the lack of fluids and calories that my body has had the last 4 days. I was able to get some koolaid, gatorade, and another glass of formula in and started to feel a little better within a couple hours.

My stomach swelling is down although I still have a lot of stomach and chest pain. My goal today is to finish the rest of can #1 and start taking in more from there :)
