Rachel gets better

This is delicious!!! I shredded up a rotisserie chicken and added a bit of milk for creaminess and it was… on point. 😍😍😍

The BEST gluten free pasta that I’ve tried thus far! 😍😍😍

Hopped on my scale and I’m down to 348.4 lbs 😱😱😱😱 holy cow!

I got the Gastroparesis diet today in the mail and I’ll be honest… I actually cried. It lists baby food… like… what?!

I’m not eating baby food.

🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

I had looked up the diet on the Mayo Clinic website and it had listed baby food as well, but it feels different when you’re sent a list of approved foods from your doctors office and it actually includes baby food.

And when I read this list, I also realized that it doesn’t cater to gluten free, so I had to exclude a bunch that they listed in the starches category 🤦🏼‍♀️

Losing weight due to an illness is weird. Losing weight is weird. I feel weird in my own body. And this diet is weird. 🤦🏼‍♀️ I’m just gonna cut my food up into small pieces and go from there 😅😅😅

Yesterday, I had an empty stomach study and today I finally have a definitive answer as to why I throw up all the time…

I have gastroperesis. This means that the opening to my stomach is paralyzed and won’t allow food to pass through.

This explains a lot lol

I have no idea what I ate that contained gluten, but I am in so much pain tonight that there’s no doubt that I ate something that I wasn’t supposed to. 😩😩😩 Repercussions like these make me want to just not eat. This is PAIN. And I don’t complain of pain. 😩😩😩

Cinnamon bears… it’s what’s for dinner. 😂😂

I’ve never been so proud to post the numbers on a scale. My first major milestone in this healthy journey… I’ve officially lost a hundred pounds from my heaviest recorded weight and I feel amazing. Can’t wait to see where I’ll be in a year!!!!

Hopped on the scale and gluten free has ridded me of 100 lbs thus far. 🥰🥰 Woot! First major milestone EVER!

Found these today!! Very excited to try them for a quick breakfast at the office 😍😍😍

Chicken, bacon, ranch mozzarella wraps for lunch today 😍😍😍😍

When I make spaghetti, I usually just take the sauce and put a bunch of mozzarella in it and eat it that way. Honestly, I like it better. ❤️❤️
