My weight dropped by 3 pounds two days after my emergency operation. I was hoping it would drop some more because I am 10 pounds over weight.
My sister is like our mother. pag may sakit, she would cook what she thought would be good for the body for speedy recovery.
She cooked clear soup with wansoy on the first day and gave me crackers and jello.
She gradually increased my diet, good for malnourished persons.
Lomi without noodles
Kaiser advised me to have a low sodium diet. After 5 days, I began craving for salty food like tinapa. My sister had an instant remedy, meron syang nakatago na dried fish called smelt.
I think I have recovered back the measly three pounds I have lost. I wouldn’t be surprised if I have even put on weight. How can one not gain weight with all these food?
Palabok Fiesta from Jollibee
Spaghetti
Bibingka
I couldn’t finish the palabok kaya the next day that was my lunch.
There are so many left over food in Aileen’s ref. I whipped up my own fried rice using her three day old rice and shrimps.
After eating, I washed a few dishes pero my stomach ached. Nahila yata.
I should learn how to drink a lot of water, not just to eat and eat.
Eves came with a big container of pastries. She enjoyed Aileen’s lomi without noodles. Ang sarap with crispy bawang and wansoy.
Sino kaya papayat eaitng pansit bihon? Aileen cooked this too, for lunch.
And this too, kasi darating ang mga Kuya, eh favorite nya ito.
Kuya Junior and Ate Linda. They’ve been married for 50 years and still asukal sweet.
Meron pa kaming samalamig: fresh melon juice.
Alice Maaba-Dacanay came to visit me with this delicious souffle.
Alice is a nurse and she sure knows how to increase my weight.
She left at around 6 pm. She lives in South San Francisco, a half-hour drive from Hayward.
