Guest guest Posted July 9, 2000 Report Share Posted July 9, 2000 Hi Girl, Do your talents never stop?????? You can cook too?????? You are totally amazing!!!!! I agree with you about mourning food.......food is just not a big deal anymore. I have visited my favorite restaurants since surgery and while the food tasted the same, it just lost a lot of appeal it once had. I have noticed that leftovers are NOT what I want to eat, I want freshly prepared food. I only have so much room and I'm real picky about what I put in my tummy. I find I keep busy cooking to help fill the void of my lost love affair with eating food. I still spend hours cooking and then after a few bites I'm through. It's a very strange phenomenon to be able to eat basically anything I want, but now I really don't want it. Today I made a meatloaf with lots of crackers in it and it tasted good like always and it went down real well but I only ate a couple of bites. I'm still making breads too but one or two bites is all I want. The problem I'm having is the excess time I have on my hands while everyone else is eating and I'm trying to pace myself so as not to finish eating before everyone else and have to sit there like a bump on a log. I guess it takes practice. I find food to be a nuisance more than a pleasure.....especially after the reflux I had last night. It still hurts. How are you feeling these days????? My energy level has picked up some...I actually cleaned house yesterday..heavyduty stuff like moping and vacuuming....of course I had a houseful of people coming and I didn't have much choice since my dear sweet Randy decided to play golf all day....ha...ha. He is headed your way tonight. He just caught a flight to Reno for business. Maybe he'll hit it big on the slots. Give the family a big kiss for me.
