Sticking problems

I'm still having trouble with things that stick and still experimenting with food choices.
Cruskits and smoked salmon with some philly is my current favourite and probably easiest meal. I usually have that for lunch.

Things that don't work.

Asparagus
Red meat
BBQ chicken
Lettuce or salad greens in general
Fizzy drinks like softdrink have far too many bubbles
Bread is far too filling so sandwiches are now out in preference to cruskits

and..............I seem to discover new ones most days.

I did manage a small amount of Christmas Dinner.

A stitch in time.......

..well one where the stomach drain was anyway. It's apparently trying to make it's way out through my skin. It looks like the eye from a hook and eye. I remember having those stitches removed and it wasn't pleasant. I'm told it's only a piece that's been left behind and it will come out of it's own accord.

I am tolerating more food and learning to slow down and chew more. Red meat is not something I even want to try though. Fizzy drinks, except sparkly, don't go down well. Flat drinks are much better. Today I have an iced tea which I will eventually finish. It will take me the rest of the afternoon to finish the round of mixed sandwiches I have.

One down, eight to go.

Goals, that is. I achieved the first one yay!!!!!!!!!
I finally broke into the 80's.

I am having trouble with solids due to the hernia, the tight little hole won't let much through so I have to chew and chew and chew and chew and if I forget I am in big trouble. Food gets stuck and then I either throw up or stay in what could only be described as extreme discomfort for several minutes. It certainly makes my eyes water.

One good find has been cruskits, they sort of dissolve on chewing and cause no problems. I will be eating more of them now.

My next goal is 85 which is not nearly as far away as 90 was so I reckon I will be celebrating again mid - late January. Fingers Crossed.
