Yesterday was a pretty swell day for eating. I managed to eat pretty consistently throughout the day and I think I have things dialed in now. Liquids are not giving me as much trouble as they have in the past. I can manage to drink things fairly easily and I do not feel crazy full…
It is still early in the day, but I think that I have things under control much better now and a lot of my vomiting was due to lingering effects of radiation treatment. I have the routine down on what I need to do and I think I am beginning to understand the new normal…
I am a bit surprised that I have been able to maintain my weight with all.of my episodes with eating lately. Today I am riding the edge and I feel full all of the time on the verge of throwing up. As soon as I feel that I can eat, I have eaten a bit…
