I had been doing so well!!! Now here I am....sitting in my chair.....under the heating pad again. I started down my checklist and am cursing "Maxine" for not liking the first enjoyable meal I have had in weeks. Everything was cooked well, not spicy and no skins to block anything up. On top of that, I chewed the heck out of everything. Well, at 3am, Maxine decided she was not happy, shut down shop and I am having gas pain that could kill a horse. I immediately started my checklist and just took a heavy hitter to see if I can get things to calm down, so far it hasn't worked and I am getting a little worn out. When oh when will I be able to eat something other than Ramen, soup or simple sandwiches? I feel like I am wasting away!! If it wasn't for my Spruteen protein drinks, I would be not worth a popcorn poop!! It will be a year in July. Is there any hope for me? The meal was safe. Well-cooked roast beef, mashed potatoes with no skins, cottage cheese, milk and a small piece of pudding pie. Nothing to cause any issues. It's like when I try to process it, that is when I get the gas which is so painful. I feel very defeated today!!
