The title says it all but can be taken in so many ways.  I've never blogged before so I'm just getting started with that.  I am now 1 week post-op and I feel pretty good!  I was having pain in my upper left side and the NP at my doc's office told me Alleve was OK to take so I did and it made all the difference!  Turn out what I thought was "just" gas pain really wasn't all gas pain.  I can now breathe all the way in and out without dying of pain.

I was cleared to start pureed foods today so that's another thing I'm just getting started at.  I am a food addict, no doubt about it, and I'm working on it.  Being on clear liquids was hard in some ways but it made "eating" easy. Not many choices to make, nothing was particularly tasty so no real pleasure came from meals this past week.  But today I had pureed egg salad, pudding, a protein shake, more pudding, and more egg salad.  It never tasted so good!  Ugh, am I slipping back into addict behavior?  I have an appointment with my psychologist next week to work on my addictive issues.

Here's to a new beginning today.  And another one tomorrow.
