All the tests have ruled out anything detectable wrong with my cat. But he is still losing weight. He is now down to 12 pounds. He eats when we refill the dry food bowls AM and PM. He could be eating during the day too but I know for sure he at least eats then. There’s nothing to really do at this point. They can’t definitively detect cancer.

I had to weigh myself in order to weigh him and I am extremely upset with my weight, which is why I was avoiding it. I know I was wearing my clothes and I’ve just eaten dinner and I’m having a lot of bloating but I’m just….ugh. This is why I haven’t weighed myself or kept track of calories/carbs in a month or so. Well, I’ll just have to write out some positive affirmations about how I’m not defined by a number or some s***.

I’ll be starting dairy elimination tomorrow. I have been cutting out major dairy like regular milk with my cereal and yogurt and ice cream, but I’ve had cheese sandwiches and thrown in cheese with my eggs, things like that. I have to completely eliminate to really see if it helps.

I also think I have gastritis. I’m having the burning pain under my right rib again, but I’m not bingeing or eating lots of fatty foods like I was years ago when it was bad. A lot of places are closing specialist offices because of Covid again so I’m not even going to bother. I’ve had my pancreas and gallbladder checked at least three times now over 5 years. They never find anything. Once they did detect H. Pylori, the cause of ulcers and inflammation, but like I said no one’s letting you in except for emergencies. I’ll just follow recommendations online (not crackpot ones though).
