There would have been nothing much to report this week, but for a
bug that took me out on Wednesday, 9/20. It brought me chills, a low grade temperature and kept me in bed
through 5pm. It continued to sap my energy through Thursday. I tested negative for
COVID. On Friday and through the weekend, I had jolts of energy that
would wane by the pm.
I had my first visit to a restaurant, where I ordered from the children's menu, with no shame. I was able to get two portions from that one plate. I will be saving food $$$ during this journey.
Tomorrow, 9/26 I will transition to “normal,” my new normal that is. I will be bringing back foods I haven’t eaten in six weeks, including fruits and vegetables. The goal is to bring them back slowly, with intention, remembering the size of my new stomach, where I can hurt myself by what I eat and the quantity. I have to continue to chew my foods and not bite and swallow, which was my practice of old. I must drink fluids a half hour after each meal.
It will all be a challenge, but I am up to it.
Before and after photos below show how well my scars are healing
