Giving GOD the Glory he deserves!!!!

Mar 31, 2010

I am not 2 weeks and 1 day out and truly grateful for my ultimate physician bringing me through. I had some complications the day after surgery but my Ultimate Physician stepped in of course and brought me through. I am so happy to have successfully made it through. I am doing good keeping up with all of my vitamins and supplements. Have not eaten anything that was not allowed following my physicians diet to a T. I realize my diet is a little different than the diet other surgeons have prescribed for their patients my diet is as follows below:
WEEK 1 - CLEAR LIQUIDS
ex. chick broth, crystal light, sugar free popsicles, water, sugar free 100% juice diluted w/ water

WEEK 2 - FULL LIQUIDS
ex. clear liquids plus fat free milk, sugar free pudding, strained cream soup, sugar free jello, beef broth and vegetable broth, protein shakes

WEEKS 3 - 7 BLENDED/PUREED Progressing to soft foods by week 8
ex. clear liquids + full liquids + baby food and tuna and chicken put in a blender until applesauce consistency, fat free gravy to help process foods in the blender. carnation instant breakfast and eggs as long as they are put in the blender after being cooked.

I started on my blender phase today and i fixed mash potatoes w/ water and fat free milk and stirred in some turkey stage 1 baby food, I measured out 4oz took about 5 baby spoons of that and was full. I am proud to say I can now take in about 4oz of liquid without becoming sick. The protein shakes are difficult so what I have been doing is special K protein water which has no sugar in it and now I will mix unflavored protein isolate in with my baby food or mash potatoes. I plan for this to be a successful and rewarding journey for me and I know as long as I keep GOD as part of this process I will be successful and the rewards of it will be great. I encourage everyone to remain committed to GOD, yourself and the process and together we can and will all be victorious. "I am only as strong as the prayer I speak and the faith I keep"  Please remain encouraged and know that with GOD on your side failure is not an option, GOD Bless and keep you all.-
