Digestion, Please...

It's hard to tell
 the extent of the bloating
from this pic,
but  it's extensive...

Phew! The last 2 days have been the worst bloating days I've had in a LONG time. It's hard to understand what it's like to have a food baby unless you see what it looks like in all its unappealing-ness. Here's a couple of pictures so you can see what's really going on & why I'm talking about it so much....

This is my stomach from the side in the grips of my illness.

Today I was so nauseous that I asked to be sent home from work after an hour. I've only had liquids for the last 24 hours & while the bloating has gone down some, it's still protruding way past its bounds. Obviously weight loss is at a halt because of lack of digestion. Truly, I'm feeling a bit anxious. I'm worried that I won't be able to get this under control. I'm worried that I won't have the self control to maintain the diet that my illness requires. I'm not a fan of soup. I can rarely stomach broth & I'm sure I'll tire of meal replacements & smoothies after a while. Can I do it? I don't know, but I suppose it's my journey to find out how & prove that I can. Either way, I'm NOT going to give up trying. I'm pretty sure you can tell from these pics how I'm feeling today...
