The thermos thing is a really good idea. Iām going to try that. Thank you.
Thankfully asking about nausea / bowel things is pretty standard.
Quickly feeling full is a struggle. To my mind with how little sheās eating it happens very quickly.
I think one of the problems is just how many people sheās seeing. Problem is they donāt all speak to each other.
Olā boy is the one managing it on a macro level, but Iām trying to get everything to fit together day to day as itās a bit chaotic.
For example, w/ her eye pressure meds (this is to prevent total blindness), can only take a few of them with food, but they interact w/ each other so you have to space them out. When you have random food refusal⦠itās just super difficult to get it into a schedule. Itās a bit frustrating lol.

Believe me I know it. Food refusal vs med scheduleā¦
Maybe just a spoonful of peanut butter. If thereās difficulty swallowing (it would be painful for her mouth to manage) then try a shot of peanut butter thinned with yogurt, or just straight up yogurt. Even a shot glass or tablespoon worth of a soft food is at least something. Vaalia do tiny tubs or there are yogurt pouches she can hold by herself.
If she doesnāt do sweet stuff plain yogurt is an option, or baby food is another thing that comes in pouches. Itās not dignified to eat baby food but she will have the choice to feed herself. Thereās also thinned cream/cottage cheese or different types of dips.
Also she doesnāt have to finish a portion the same day. A tub or jar can last a few days in the fridge if you cover it and use a clean spoon each time.
Ensure comes in neutral flavour now if too much sugar makes her nauseous. It still contains oligosaccharides which can upset your stomach a bit but they will be helpful to keep her stomach moving when she isnāt eating a lot. Diluting it will help.
Hang in there. Itās not really realistic that her team would have meetings but hopefully thereās some way for them to talk to each other.
