For anyone interested, this is where I got my Fidget Cube from. I ordered Monday and go it today (Thursday same week). I am UK based so I don’t know about US/Europe shipping.
Had a somewhat productive day so far; sorted out my doctors appointment, picked up stuff for dinner on Friday (I’ve got a friend coming round who I haven’t seen in ages), and I’ve even done a few design sketches for my next cosplay idea for London Comic Con in May.
My legs were pretty tired after walking to and from the doctors, but I’m relaxing now, watching Supernatural season 10, and playing on my tablet. I’m feeling a lot better today, even though I didn’t sleep well last night. Bathroom breaks are still quite frequent but not as daunting as they were a week ago. I seem to be regaining my appetite little by little too but I’m still struggling to regain the weight I lost. Thank goodness for Fortisip drinks; I’m only having one per day, because I don’t want to become reliant on them, but they help towards my daily calories which I can’t do with food alone at the moment.
Just tried these for the first time and they are surprisingly tasty. I’m always a little wary with Schar products because I have tried some of their gluten-free biscuits in the past and they tasted awful. These, however, are flavourful and only 24kcal per. Also, low in fibre, so me-friendly.
Repeat after me: – Veganism is not affordable – Veganism is not cruelty free – Veganism is not the best choice for everyone
Repeat after me -I’m an idiot and wrong. -Veganism can be made affordable. –Veganism is fucking cruelty free. That’s what it’s all about. – Veganism is the best choice for everyone, if everyone did it. -I’m a fucking asshole for making this completely wrong text post and should shut the hell up now.
People are literally starving in South America because all the Quinoa crop is being exported mainly for white vegans who want to live “cruelty-free” but don’t care about brown people as much as they do about animals.
plus, 4 of the 8 most common food allergies (soy, wheat, peanuts, and tree nuts) are common vegan substitutes.
And let’s not forget that those of us who have digestive condition, like IBD, are already cutting out some type of food, so going vegan will only cut even more of the low amount of food we can eat already. It may work for some, but it’s not the best option for everyone by a long shot.
First attempt at banana pancakes. I think they came out surprisingly well and they taste pretty good. Literally, a mashed up banana mixed with two eggs and fried.
So, under the advise of the hospital dietitian, I am now on a low fibre diet. It means cutting out a lot of stuff but there’s still plenty I can eat. I have been given a couple of food tables to help me prepare me-friendly meals, and I’ve kept the copy of the low-residue menu I was given at the hospital. I’m still reducing my gluten intake but I’m not going to be as strict as it doesn’t seem to be working as well for me. Bread is my main issue, however, crumpets – which you’d think would be worse than bread – I can handle. That means, today’s lunch consists of a toasted crumpet with a fried egg on top.
I might try making my own gluten-free bread later. I’m borrowing my parents bread-maker at the moment so I may as well try it.
