Appetite after Egg Transfer

Since young, I am a big fan of meals.  To me, life is about eating.  I love to indulge in a nice meal when I am happy.  I must indulge in a nice meal when I am sad.  I would indulge in a nice meal when I am stressed.  Give me any reason to have nice food.  To beat the Monday blues, my colleagues and I will have lunch in a simple restuarant instead of hawker fare.  To welcome the weekend, Friday lunches could be at a nice place also.  Nice meals are not expensive fine dining, it just have to be nice.  Food that I like!

I used to tell my hubby.  It is easy to keep me contented - 吃足长乐 - which means I am always happy when I can get my food.  My hubby is just opposite.  He eats to live.  He can eat the same meal every day as long as it fills his tummy.  On the contrary, nice food is what I live for. 

Since Egg Transfer (ET), I have an appetite of a baby.  Because of the bloatedness and nausea, I could not stomach anything more than half a small bowl of food for each meal.  I have this for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  This is the most I could do. 

Some may think, well at least you will lose weight.  I wish.  Instead, I have put on weight because of the bloatedness.  Thought about it for very long whether to pose this compromising photo, but decided to go ahead.  This is how bloated I am - looks like a mid-term pregnancy.  It is all liquid inside; hard and hurts when you press.

Luckily, nausea has reduced and appetite has resumed a little since 2dp3dt.  Tummy is still as bloated and I still can't handle anything more than half a tiny bowl of macaroni.  But I do feel hungry every 3 hours now and I have progressed to eating 5 bowls at macaroni in a day - breakfast, brunch, lunch, tea and dinner.  I do feel hungry and want to eat, it just that there isn't any space for it.

Hopefully, really hopefully, I will get to enjoy my love for food once again =)
