As far as eating goes, you may want to try Ensure. I think people can live off of the stuff. I am using caesine protien powder. Its effects last much longer than whey powder. The whey powder spikes early. I can post the name, and cost. It is available on Amazon. I use it in yogurt smoothies. It does taste a bit chalky, but I find this to be very manageable. You also can make a small ice cream shake instead of a yogurt smoothie. You can get the inexpensive ice cream for this, the one that comes in a tub. Inexpensive chocolate syrup can make it taste better. I have other things to say but not at this time.
I wish the best for you. You are capable of getting tgrough this. At this time you just not know in what shape your life will be in. But I am sure you can deal with whatever happens. All you can do is put your best effort into this, and I think you should include your husband in on your plans. He can help by giving you ideas. Opportunities for you two working together is a good thing. Also you would be showing him that you are trying very much to make this work for both of your lives together.
As far as your daughter goes, IMO all she needs to know is that you are there for her. Spend some time with her even if this is just watching her play her video games. I did this with my daughter. JMHO
PS PM me anytime. I will prove that I can be a good listener.

I agree with so much you have said. When I am having a severe Crohn's flare (unable to keep anything down, more than 30 episodes of diarreah a day, and losing weight) I live off Ensure. I've also had a feeding tube put in when that doesn't work and that is NO FUN.
