What new Rob-fu moves have you added to your arsenal of death?

I’m now on a similar infusion, as my specialist decided infliximab was no longer effective enough. In general it’s working well.

From 2011-2016 I was on an extremely bland low fibre diet. Any fruit and veg needed to be very soft, usually meaning peeling, cooking and mashing. I often ate jars of baby food as it was pulverised fruit. I mainly ate white bread and bland cereals like corn flakes. It was depressing as fuck and really unhealthy, but it was necessary to keep me from getting blockages.

After my operation in 2016, I slowly migrated onto a full diet. I’ve been able to eat just about anything. The adhesions which were causing my guts to get tangled and easily blocked were successfully removed.

Right now I’ve reverted to mostly low fibre again although not as strict as before, to give my guts a chance to get going again. I should be able to return to a mostly normal diet, just avoiding putting myself under too much digestive stress at one time. I’m seeing my specialist soon to discuss what happened, and he may have different ideas!

Sadly my kung fu prowess and video-making energy in general has been lacking for a long time.
