mmmm...food, how I have missed the

Ok, I am 2 weeks post-op and can eat soft foods.  I made myself a single egg omlet with some shreaded cheese for breakfast.  Oh how I have missed the taste of food, it was delicions!  I have not eaten any real food in a month so this was a real treat.  Note to self, I need to keep water away from me when eating!  Without even thinking I took a small drink of water right after my meal....that was painful!  I used to drink at least two or three galsses of water with every meal so this will be a real challenge.  During my post op the doctor said to drink my protein and water all at the same time, don't seperate.  Now on reagular food I need to start to retrain myself.

Oh I can't wait!!!  I have to be on liquids for another 3 weeks and I am planning NOW what I'll want first when I'm finally allowed to start soft foods. lol

Enjoy your soft food stage!!!

 That sounds heavenly! I am glad you enjoyed it!

 That was my first "meal" too.  It was heavenly.

I still struggle with drinking during meals.  I swear I am thirstiest during meals.  I am really focusing on the change, but it is hard when, like you, I used to drink 2-3 glasses a day.

I get to eat soft foods Friday. It will be two weeks from surgery for me. i'm so looking forward to it. they said eggs, chicken salad, egg salad, tuna salad, cottage cheese etc etc.

Let me know what you find good to eat during this stage.
