Follow-up... and my very first NSV!
I had a follow-up appointment with my surgeon yesterday. He was very pleased with my progress. My first NSV: I'm already off my BP meds! 
That feels amazing!!! He gave me the green light to start "regular" foods again. If you've read some of my previous posts, you know that I'm not good at moving from one phase to the next. Lol. My nerves get the best of me most of the time. Well, that didn't happen! I actually ate a few string beans and a little bit of chicken (canned) without any problems. So today, I wanted Italian Wedding soup. I had a can of Campbell's light soup. I decided against it because of the pasta. I made a veggie soup that is similar & it was delish... I used roasted vegetable chicken broth, spinach, carrots, onion, green pepper and veggie crumbles! I think I'm liking this new lifestyle! I hope you all have a wonderful holiday weekend!
My new life began on April 30th, 2014!
