Well it's week one and I'm already getting a different palette. Right now, I can only handle applesauce, premier protein shakes, water and now sugar free Popsicles. I could have soup the first 2 days and now even the thought just makes me cringe. I've

After 9 years, the second time around is here and with a date! My surgery is April 18th and I don't think it's hit me quite yet that it's official. I have kinda been quite all day and am "hiding" at home. I haven't told anyone outside of the immediate
