  1. Video chatting with the husband and dog. Social distancing stinks. We still don't know how we're going to handle the situation with him being a high risk person and me being a person with at high risk for infection.

      Oh goodness, praying for you both. I'm so sorry of the impact this further having on your lives.

      Luckily we live in different places and are only together on weekends. Anyway, it stinks.

      Would be nice to know if one of us was already infected. Hubby had a scratch in the throat for some days, conjunctivitis and some light coughing a few weeks ago after all.

      We'll see...

  2. Feeling kind of tired today. Went a little grocery shopping for soy yoghurt and wanted to get frozen fruits for green smoothies - most of it was gone. *sigh*

    At least I could get some of these little round pumpernickel breads. Looking forward to eating some of these bite sized things tomorrow.

  3. I guess I'm being a bit silly with my wounds this time.

    The slightest twinge and I think "OMG, something is not ok!!"

    I press into the abdomen because I simply forgot I'm not supposed to and it's like "OMG, I'm going to get another hernia!! I'm sure something's not ok right now"

    I cough or sneeze which still hurts the abdominal wall a bit and think "OMG, I'm going to get another hernia, something just broke inside!!

    *sigh*

    I can't remember it being like this the last two times.

      I have one particular incision that I feel I’ve pulled a few times. Eeek! That smarts when it happens. We’ll just have to be gentle with ourselves for a while.

      Absolutely. However, it's so easy to forget.

  4. Feeling quite tired today. The weather is matching my mood. Cold, rainy, windy.

      We are in the exact same situation. I'm fatigued and very tired, this rainy weather matches. I lit some candles, drinking black tea and a vanilla premier shake mixed together, watchinh TV and using my heating pad.

  5. I want rice with vegetables and tofu. Never thought I would crave something like this. Another wee to go on liquids and puree.

  6. Since yesterday I crave sweet stuff. Luckily most of the protein stuff comes sweet. It's kind of interesting because the days before I craved more salty stuff.

      Gosh, I remember that time! And it has to be tougher for you, because you're so lean already! So you really don't have lots of reserves to at least quench hunger and create food ambivalence. ((hugs)). Are you vegan or lacto ovo vegetarian?

      I'm neither. I eat mostly plant based except the occasional egg, tuna or salmon. But mind you, good tuna steak or wild salmon are either hard to get in my part of the country and/or really expensive so it's more like a treat than regular food.

      With eggs it's a little bit like that I crave them sometimes, have hard boiled egg, scrambled egg, fried egg etc. and then I don't want to eat them for like a month or so.

      I can't have dairy though. I usually use soy as replacement. Tastes best to me. I don't like the almond or oat stuff.

      Ok, so try this. You can google or YouTube either Anthony Bourdain doing eggs this way or Gordon Ramsay. I think they will be soft enough to fit in with puree stage, but will provide savory "chew".

      I make "soft scrambled eggs" by Tony's method. I cook them slowly (and usually I mix them 1 whole egg to 1-2 egg whites) and split with Mr. F. cuz the fat in the yolk doesn't always sit well with me. But at about the 3/4 way mark, I mix in a heaping spoon of plain Greek yogurt. And stir the crap outta it until it looks creamy dreamy with small curds of soft egg.

      You can also spice it how you want. Sometimes I add a few drops of toasted sesame oil and beat a little tamari into it if I'm jonesin' for Asian...

      Yeah, looks like it's now the same format as thinner times. Oh, well...
