Eating Oops

So, I feel slightly better today (yay!)

After speaking with radiology, as well as my GI specialist, it was decided that going off of antibiotics in order to do the cortisone injection was too detrimental to my health. So I was allowed, as of yesterday, to go back onto my antibiotics. I will still have the cortisone injection done on Friday, and potentially subsequent ones done in the future, but I will be allowed to stay on my antibiotics, since removing them from my medication regimen is, very obviously, too damaging.

Feeling a bit better today from going back on my regular medication, I wanted to eat more.
Here's the problem:
For the past two weeks, I have been lucky to have more than one or two Boost per day, plus some soft foods. I would manage to consume approximately 800 calories if I was lucky (mostly from liquids), and I would absorb about half of that (if I am being optimistic).
So when I got excited and ate about 400 calories in one meal today, my body got pretty angry with me. I am still technically only sitting at about 700 calories for the day (240 of it including my breakfast Boost), so 400 in one sitting is far too much.

So now, even though I WAS feeling better overall, I am now super sluggish and feel physically ill from eating too much.

I just got so excited!!

Oops.
