@shaylatalei: For anyone new here — I have gastroparesis (stomach paralysis) caused by CRPS, which means I can’t eat or drink without getting extremely sick. So my “dinner” is TPN, an IV nutrition bag that gives me everything my body needs through my central line over 18 hours. That little bag hanging on my pole? It costs around $1,000 before insurance, and that doesn’t include the tubing, filters, dressings, or nursing care that come with it. Meanwhile, my family’s dinner tonight was about $15 total. I cooked fresh, but I promise — there is absolutely nothing wrong with frozen meals. We use those too. Whatever feeds your family is good enough. 🤍 Cooking gives me a tiny piece of normalcy. I’ve only had this condition for just under 3 years, and before that my life looked a lot like theirs. Staying connected to the things I loved before chronic illness helps me feel human. ✨ Not medical advice — just my experience living with chronic illness and TPN. #chronicillness #tpn #mukbang #cookwithme #familydinner

My friend has CRPS, I never knew it can affect your eating. All I know is she has pain a lot of the time, she feels cold a lot, (her hands and feet mostly I think). It must be hard living with CRPS 🫶🏻 also their dinner looks amazing 🤩👏🏻

Are you still able to taste test your food before you serve it, or do you just wing it?

I have so many questions because I can’t find the full video of her explaining everything. What happened exactly? Do you still ever crave food, tastes, or coffee? And the smell of food makes you nauseous because you can’t eat it? I’m also curious how you explained this to your kids like how mommy eats through the bag while they eat regular food. Do they understand it? And honestly, I don’t get why people are bashing you. Just because you can’t eat food normally doesn’t mean you can’t cook for your family. You’re still a beautiful, smart mother and wife who wants a sense of normal, and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. Your stomach is paralyzed, not your whole body. At least you’re still trying and doing what you can. People need to be kinder.

Genuine question do you ever get cravings? Or just thirsty for water ? Or other drinks ? Or does everything just kinda keep you satisfied?

so you said you're making dinner for your husband and kids but that he's at work, does he usually get home right when you finish or do you just put his dinner aside for when he does get home ?(:
