It's a marathon, not a sprint

That is what I'm reminding myself today. I started taking my vitamins today and messed up a little - only did 1 capful of the calcium citratre, supposed to do three. Didn't let it sit 10 minutes first...

But today was my first day, and I'm still learning - so tomorrow I'll do better!!!!

Fam had pizza for dinner last night

and I'm still on full liquids. Proud I didn't do anything crazy

like licking a piece - instead sent them for some ff ricotta and pizza sauce, made my self crazy pizza/lazagna ooze. (Thinned out with milk to make it nice and liquidy.) YUMMY - now it wasnt Frisco food *****r anything, but for full liquids - wow!!!! Only ate about 2 tablespoons, but they were 2 happy slowly savored tablespoons of italian goodness!

Each day I'm feeling a little better and a little more energy - hope I continue on this trajectory!!!!

I hardly call it a recipe - 1/4 cup of ff ricota, 1-2 tablespoons of pizza sauce (non-chunky!), some garlic salt, italian seasoning, stir and if it's too thick for a straw (my nut's rules) thin with some milk or water. Zap in microwave for a 30 seconds. Stir. Whip out the baby spoon. Enjoy!

You'll even have leftovers! (whodda thought that presurgery!)

Great tip - already have her bookmarked. But needed to adapt to the full liquids so I wouldn't have to wait for a savory bite! The cream soups just don't appeal to me! (in my mind they should be gravy in a casarole, not a meal)

I have my moments - BELIEVE ME! But I've learned over the years that a positive attitude goes a long way - the longer you let yourself whine or be a victim, the worse you feel and the longer you stay one! And I have a 20 y.o. daughter and always tell her to be positive, so now I have to show her, even on bad days, that you can keep it all in perspective!

DISCLAIMER - I had an AWESOME surgery, nothing to complain about. Those with leaks or strictures have EVERY RIGHT to complain!!!

By the way - your going to do great and rock it! (and when you have a rough moment, you'll think of the grandbaby, pull on the big girl pants, and move forward!)

I'm sure if some one sends me a basket of pure evil goodness my polyanna self will be blubbering!!!!!!

First few days out are easier - you are so restricted. Now when I get freedom - that's when the work to stay on track will begin!

Thanks for your great words of support!!!!! and I love you!!!! (in the bud ad sort of way!)
