I am feeling so good.  My sores are healing, I have no pain, and hope this keeps up a while longer before I make a mistake and eat the wrong thing.  Today, I think I am going to try Oatmeal with a little maple syrup, no milk, for breakfast.  I really am not sure what my body will do but in my research, maple syrup tends to be ok in small doses, but who knows about the oatmeal.  I am really just wanting something hot and filling for breakfast.  So far, except for the creamer and flavored real cream, all else coincide with how I will be eating during March for the Real Food Challenge.

Egg, Banana, Salmon

Thursday, Feb. 24

7:00-Breakfast-2/3 Cup plain white basmati rice
10:30-Snack-3/4 Cup rice
1:00-Lunch-3/4 Cup rice and one egg, scrambled with no oil or milk.
3:00-Snack-One banana
5:30-Dinner-Salmon 4oz, 2/3 cup rice. 

Bm-7:30 pm.  Normal (for me).  1/2 hour session.  5 trips and no cramping.  Somewhat urgent.

Changing my plan a little yesterday after talking to my colon/rectal Surgeon.  Him wanting me to treat the elimination diet more like the IBS one.  So I decided to add three new foods that I was fairly certain was safe.  I made sure the egg was just an egg without oil or milk.  I have a history of low potasium so I ate a banana, and to add one more protein, I decided on Salmon which I am pretty certain I would do well with.  The thing about Salmon is that I love to creatively prepare it and then dip it into cocktail or tartar sauce.  But I ended up baking it with salt and pepper and eating it plain.  It was still delicious.

I am glad to have finally had a bm and a fairly normal one at that.  So I feel like I am at a good baseline.  I am not sure if I will add another new food today and if so, what would it be.  I am out of bananas and I need to go to the store, so it would be good for me to decide on the new food in case I don't have it.
