i did it!!

Nov 01, 2010

i finally did it!!!! Surgery was on 10/29th and i'm feeling much better. still feeling a little bloated.  issues i'm experiencing are:
diarhea (still dark), stomach talks to me when i eat my liquids.

i had to learn how to "sip" really fast.  was hard at first, but my mom taught me (lol).  do find that cold liquids are not the best for me right now. the first meal i had at the hospital was veg broth soup, jello & small glass of apple juice. the broth was the best thing ever!!! last night was the best sleep i had since thursday night.  tomorrow is a support class which i'm attending with my husband. just hope that i don't have to get up in front of everyone and talk...not my kind of thing. i waddle when i walk...too funny!! reminds me of when i pregnant with my son.  i do notice my chin line is becoming more defined. i will definitely be going back to work next monday..i actually feel really good right now.  the nurse called me today stating that i can start on soft solids this friday. so my choices are:  soups-tomato, split pea (never had), lentil (never had), etc; refried beans, mashed potato, cottage cheese, cream of wheat, yogurt, applesauce, banana (mashed), tofu (never had), peanut butter, mashed (fine) hard boiled eggs with a little light mayo & mustard, poached egg & over easy egg smashed fine w/fork.  i had food poisining 17 years ago at a denny's in bakersfield when i had breakfast and ever since then i do not eat eggs. i figuring that if i cook them myself, i should be okay.  i'm so looking forward to the soft food phase.

Wanted to thank those for welcoming me to the losers bench & wishing me well wishes.  very nice of you all.
