One week

Jul 30, 2014

It's crazy how fast and slow the time goes. My life is being timestretched. I have also been really busy. Probably a little too busy. Today we have a cable guy coming. Yesterday we got a new washer dryer and I had an out of town friend visit briefly. All good things, but I went to bed at 8pm. I got in 8 hours, unfortunately that meant waking at 4. I am just out of whack. 

I think I might have a glimmer of hope on the whole eating front. Yesterday, I received a shipment of unflavored soy protein. I mixed it with water and some Mio and... it was FOUL. Absolutely disgusting in both flavor and texture. Ugh. Gritty, too. The good/bad news is that it also caused the same stomach upset I've been dealing with.

I was pretty discouraged. But then! My aunt had brought over unsweetened almond milk. So I gave that a shot for dinner, with a scoop of Isopure Cookies & Creme. Sure, there was some discomfort, but it was not nearly as bad as it had been. I had the same exact thing this morning. Again, not bad! Not 100% normal digestion, slight discomfort, but not the searing, stabbing gas pains.

Is it just that I hit on a combo that works for me? Is it the almond milk? Have I just healed sufficiently to tolerate this stuff? Who knows, but I know what I'm drinking for at least the next couple days.

I am also experiencing what kinda feels like hunger. A gnawing emptiness in my stomach. I don't really know what to do with it or how to cope. It's not really pleasant. Is it acid? Phantom stomach hunger? Dunno. I guess I'll wait and see how it goes.

Here's hoping for less hectic days.
