I just ate "Thanksgiving dinner" and while it was only a humble egg very softly scrambled, it was real good to use my fork again. It took me a while to eat that little bit of food as I had to chew, chew, chew before I swallowed it down. So far I feel OK, no immediate reactions but I won't consider myself out of the woods until about 3:30pm.
That's when I make my lunch shake. I can't drink anything 1/2 hour before or 1/2 hour after I eat anything solid *Burp* I stole a fragment of Gene's baked potato (the inner, buttery, salty part) and you would have thought I ate the greatest meal on earth. That little bit of potato tasted SOOO GOOD. But I didn't eat any more of it. Until you have spent time not chewing anything, it's hard to describe how good solid food tastes, even if it was just such as I had above.
Tomorrow I am looking forward to blended turkey with a little gravy to moisten, and some of Amanda's amazing sweet potato casserole. Sad to say, the marshmallows will have to be scraped off but that's a small price to pay for eating just a little of something solid.
The thing is, my little stomach only holds about 1/4 cup at a time. This means getting used to protein first, then starch or veg or whatever. One oz. of meat (and that ain't much folks!) the rest that casserole I have been looking forward to. I may have to thin the mixture a little to make it the correct consistency.
Oh well enough of my new fussy food habits...hope everybody had a great Thanksgiving day, that you ate all you wanted, and the Patriots win!!!!
Good on you, girl! Hazel
