Hi Cheryl - yay - 10 days!!! Every single step is a major accomplishment! I'm thrilled you're done treatment and on the (sometimes rocky) garden path to wellness! You have done so well during treatment - the symptoms you are suffering now will lessen, diminish, give way to new ones - I know you know that! I know what you mean about the cravings - my days were spent trying to dream up what would feel good, taste good and be good for me! It's hit or miss at this point of recovery for you but give the cantaloupe a try - hopefully it's a hit with your tastebuds! Sounds good to me - maybe a cantoloupe smoothie with ice and protein powder? Yum! I found that my ability to taste caramel was about the only taste fully preserved - an iced caramel machiato (with full fat milk) was a nice treat for me and made me feel a little more normal to be able to engage in the societal norm of waiting in line and spending too much money at starbucks!
Take care Cheryl - I wish we had been going through treatment together - you have been an amazing source of support for others and an inspiration to me!
Strong wishes and thoughts of wellness to you today, tomorrow and the day after that!
