My new best friend.... Imodium

I have been instructed to eat a very restricted diet while I am having this pelvic radiation.

White rice, white bread, mashed potatoes, bananas.... exciting eh?

No fresh fruits and veggies ... they need to be cooked and no veggies that are high in fibre. No coffee!!! No chocolate!!! I can have clear broth or sport drinks. Nothing greasy, fried, spicy or sugary. I have to avoid nuts, seeds and beans. Limit milk or switch to soy beverages.

I should not have been surprised tonight when we had to make an emergency stop on the way home from camp.

Today's diet: 2 cups coffee
prunes and toast
bbq'd hamburgers with lots of spices and bbq sauce
topped with raw onion and tomato
hot mustard and relish
muchies: raw carrots, yellow peppers, cheese.

I am going to be more careful.

  1. Sounds as if you should be more careful -- there aren't many places to stop between camp and home! Sounds like a pretty bland diet ahead for you!

    Just think when you are finished all that you will want for that first big dinner!
