Hello Fellow Travelers!
There are many issues that confront the vertigo-stricken patient daily. One of the most difficult and repeated is the frustrating task of consuming nutrients. Until an alternative is discovered (and here is an instance where a pellet or a pill would be welcome) I am faced with the daunting task of consuming enough proteins and water to thrive.
Strictly speaking, eating seems like way too much trouble to even attempt, but there are restaurants and dinner parties, (and staying alive) to consider, so even the pickiest palate (me) has to "wrangle the metal" from time to time. I tried just not eating but my PS said it was too "weird" and my not eating, was in fact, a distraction for anybody else!
I only want sugary round foods these days anyway. So skipping the exercise in futility (any meal) seems like the best option to an especially picky gourmand, but if I am absolutely forced to work through a salad, I have the skillset necessary to struggle through the plate.
I had thought I could avoid most eating scenarios, I tried to avoid eating anyway (I've always been a big snacker and rarely committed to anything as defined as a "meal"; why limit my options to breakfast, lunch and dinner? I might see something else I'd rather have while I'm waiting. Like a cookie!)
But eating is necessary and neverending! And the only food that holds any interest for me contains lots and lots of brown sugar and vanilla bean. These "confections" are not great for your teeth. I found this out the hard way. I was forced to go the dentist. Forty+ years of perfect dental health obliterated by one year of candy consumption!
Food is therefore required even though I may not want it. I guess the trick will be finding something I really like. Anyone have a nutrition pellet? Yum!

If I had to survive on just sweets, I could go with fruit tarts, those mini-pies with
ReplyDeletecustard filling and crisp glazed shells, mandarin oranges, strawberries and kiwi and cherries, yum!
