Aug 25 - a quick post about sustenance

 

This stuff is disgusting!

I had a dilemma at the pharmacy, chocolate or coffee (1st world problems right there)

As you can see, I went for coffee. Its still disgusting. Imagine the weakest, sickly sweetest, blandest Nescafe you've ever had, then dilute it some more. The only, and I mean the only, way I can make this stuff remotely palatable is to add a shot of espresso. Or two.

But I did make a concession - I'm using decaffeinated to make the espresso.

I am forced to consume this.... abomination... because I can't manage more than one meal a day, and many days not even that. So, I have to add this, this, whatever this is.

I have to admit, it's filling. I feel full afterwards. I can feel it travelling through my intestines. Bloating and gas are par for the course these days (don't sit in a car with me if you value your olfactory system) At least it doesn't give me constipation, actually it don't look all that different on the way out than it did on the way in. Sorry about that. (Not sorry)

So this is my cuisine now. Milo in the morning. Soup or steamed vegetables for lunch. Sustagen in the late afternoon. Maybe some crackers in the evening. And jellybeans. Ginger beer cordial for fluids, to help with the nausea. It's not great, but its keeping my energy levels manageable. I don't know about my weight; I don't dare check. It can wait till my next hospital visit.
