I'm not eating or drinking well over these past few days.
Quite dehydrated, but improving.

@Adge
What are you having for tea tonight?
In response to: Re: self care -- Food, Salt , Sugar , Water

I had leftover spring rolls & a small Quiche @Former-Member
Maybe not entirely balanced, but fairly healthy - & at least that made sure I ate enough.
I eat lots of vegies at virtually every meal (except breakfast).
So I'm sure it's okay to skip the vegies on occasion (every once in a while).

My post to you was rejected (removed) @Former-Member
As per usual, the email I received was far too complicated - to even attempt to edit or re-submit the post.
I have never been able to edit or re-submit any rejected post, because I don't know how to do that.
I DO NOT SH - any reference to weight loss - is a Physical occurrence, not due to any MH issues or SH.
This response adds considerably to my distress, as I am rather weak - it is not reasonable for me to have to respond.

Hey @Adge nothing like that entered my mind at all. You have well explained your IBS etc. The reminder for bikkies as per previous was about adding the bulk that you said you often forget to do and would appreciate encouragement for.
I hope I have not upset you and apologies if I have. You have had enough on your plate with your crook shoulder and hernia.
