One thing that has come as quite a surprise is how much worse the fatigue has become over the last 4 or 5 days. I found that even taking a shower yesterday I felt exhausted washing my hair and had to stop for a break. I'm also sleeping for much longer over night so I'm not getting going till quite late morning.
I have been managing a Wiltshire Farm Foods meal each day but I've found now that the soft option is better than the purreed as it has a bit more texture to it. I know part of the problem is that I'm probably not taking in enough calories as well. I'd been struggling with Ensure recently because I'd been put on the compact ones but I'm adding extra milk to them now and have gone back to chocolate which I've been off for a while. First follow up appointment tomorrow. I predict I will be told off about the weight loss.
