One more day of liquids

May 22, 2010

Yesterday I was on liquids for the day and today I'm doing more of the same. Carnation Instant Breakfast for breakfast and some yogurt for lunch. Doing pretty good. Jack is going to make a cream of garlic soup for dinner. I am dealing with allergies (runny/stuffy nose) and a scratchy throat. So, he thinks the soup may help me feel better.

I think I will have to relearn some bandster basics tomorrow when I try solid food. Things like small bites, chewing really well before swallowing, etc. Worse case, I will go back and have a little fluid removed from my band. Hopefully, this fill is the magic amount. I guess we'll see. The opening looked pretty narrow to me on the x-ray machine yesterday. I'm sure it's not an accurate picture of what is actually going on in there.

So, tomorrow REAL food and it's my birthday!
