Featured Blogger: Wheeee! Puree Baybay!

All week I have been dreaming of fat free refried beans with melted cheese & a little dollop of Daisy! I have been smelling the toast my mom & son have been cooking all week and it has been driving me bonkers!! The funny thing is before surgery, I never ate toast nor did I ever want to eat toast. I have the ultimate skill of always dropping crumbs from everything I eat down my cleavage. Toast crumbs between the girls is never comfortable!!

So, you are probably thinking by now that beans & cheese were my first pureed food right? After all that would make sense, seeing as I would have a dribble of spittle run down the corner of my mouth at just the thought of the tasty meal. Well I'm sorry to disappoint. I went to bed Tuesday evening, excited...just like a little girl on Christmas Eve. When I woke up, I was so afraid to actually put anything  in my pouch! I opted for some Cream of Wheat made with skim milk & sugar free maple syrup. I only ate about half of my quarter cup before I was full. I had a smile on my face when my pouchy accepted it without complaint!! I did have those refried beans for dinner however! I had built up a little more bravery throughout the day. I was pretty proud!

As far as everything else, I'm still fighting some soreness in my left side & a new mysterious sharp pain near my belly button every once in awhile. When taking a shower, I get tired very quickly also. Over all, this has been a very smooth recovery for me & I can't wait to get back to my normal self again!

Best advice I can give to keep your recovery smooth, keep a very positive attitude. No matter what. Best wishes & much success!!
