MMMmmmmm...Peanut Butter and Hot Chocolate!!
Hey everyone! I thought I'd give you all an update on how I'm doing. I am doing so well, I don't even feel like I've had surgery. 
I have little or no pain; the pain that I do have is from the stitches themselves, where the staples are irritating my skin. (I think it's time for them to come out!!)
I am currently in phase II and phase III of the diet plan, with more emphasis on the Phase II. I don't feel like I would have any problems eating pureed foods, it's just that I'm wanting to give my body plenty of time to adjust and heal to the changes. I have eaten some soft foods; e.g. egg salad, tuna salad, chili beans, refried beans, and such. I've not had ANY nausea (except the first time I ate and then only mild nausea) and no vomiting.
I finally broke down and got me a bottle of the Pro-Diet hot chocolate mix and daaa-uh-ummmm, it's the best hot chocolate I've ever drank. I've pretty much have made that a staple. I take a hot chocolate with a teaspoon of peanut butter, sipping and licking for about an hour. (I use 12oz of water instead of the asked 8oz)
The head hunger can be so bad sometimes! I don't think I had nicotine withdrawls as bad as head hunger. The pizza hut lasagne commercial and Wendy's Freshetta sandwich is driving me insane! 
I'm doing good though. I'm having no depression, but am having some minor panic attacks that I'm screwing up my surgery by drinking so many fluids. My NUT assured me that I'm just being a ninny and keep drinking. (Thank you Amanda 
)
Yesterday I got in 87oz of fluid and 92oz of protein. WoooooHooooo! 
Exercise is going well, I'm doing stretches everyday, walking, and still using my breathing toy to make sure my lungs expand out real nice.
I see my surgeon on Monday to get these dang stitches out of me and to weigh. I hope I've lost some weight. My ninny side is telling me I've not lost a pount. ~sigh~ 
I hope everyone is having a nice Friday and a good weekend.

Girl, it sounds like you are doing awesome!!!!! I bet you have lost weight... and ya just dont know it. I noticed the freakin food commercials early on as well... after about 3 weeks or so... they didnt bother me anymore. Most of my food cravings and head hunger also went away around that time. You are doing great! Keep up the good work hon... Thanks for the update!
Hey u, sounds like u r doing great! The head hunger is a pain. I hated the TV for the first month after surgery but then when I got to start eating regular foods it wasn't as bad. Now its not a problem at all. That hot chocolate and peanut butter sounds good. I get the carb options peanut butter at Walmart, its pretty good. Take care and let us know how your appt Monday goes. I bet u have lost weight, I know u have!
Hi Dee,
Don't worry about the Pizza Hut lasagna pizza, it doesn't taste like you think it does, I thought it was pretty yucky! Save your money, and buy some more hot chocolate mix, now that sounds yummy! I hope I will be able to do as well as you all, I will be getting a date soon, I hope! Good luck to all, and have a great week-end.
