LEMON-AIDE

Hi!  I am eating again!  After a year and a half of being able to eat nothing but soft or liquid foods, I am now eating whole grain cereals, dried fruit…just about anything accept meat, salad, spicy or fatty foods.

Having been diagnosed with Gastroparesis I hoped after having my gall bladder removed, my Gastroparesis could improve and I might be able to get back to eating some soft foods again.  I did not begin to imagine that I’d be able to eat in a restaurant and order a beautiful plate of food, which I did this past week with my husband and with my daughters both home for spring break.

What a wonderful thing it is to sit across from loved ones and share a meal. How satisfying it is to be able to fill one’s stomach when hungry.  I still can hardly believe that food is a part of my life again.

Time will tell whether the demise of my gall bladder caused Gastroparesis or whether it worsened it.  I’m keeping my fingers crossed that my stomach muscles can keep on moving.  For now I will enjoy, savor and be grateful for every bite I eat. 

Thank you to those who sent prayers, good wishes and good vibes my way.   Kerry
