lauriejo, do you have people feeling sorry for you and trying to find something you can eat? I always tell them to look at me - it appears I get plenty to eat and to stop worrying. Gluten is in so many unsuspected places.
Sheila, that's a unhappy friend who can't respect your wishes. As far as the water goes, you can flavor it many ways - when you lose your taste for sugar, just lemon slices are good. I'm drinking Faygo Sparkling water with cherry concentrate added right now. The cherry concentrate is good for so many things like joint health that it's a bonus that it tastes good. A lot of the flavored sparkling waters have artifical sweeteners in them and I don't do any of those. Faygo doesn't.
Missy, how scary! Thank God you weren't hurt. Go for a walk and then work on a quilt while you wait for Cathy. The worst are the flashbacks. I still flinch when a big white pickup comes to an intersection on my right and it's been 8 months since my accident. Hugs to you.
After I realized it was my gallbladder again and started the meds I have here (natural, of course), I feel so much better. The pain in my stomach and abdomen are both gone, as is the vomiting. Just some tenderness left. Now to figure out what I can eat to keep it from returning and to keep me away from the surgeon's office. Fat is in so many things. I feel like I just lost five days of my life. Why is it I don't lose weight when I don't eat from illness? Is it because I don't exercise? We did get another short walk in the late yesterday afternoon, but not 2 miles, for sure.
I am losing weight and getting healthier. Wishing you all a clean eating day.
