First day of Mushy food
Sep 05, 2009
First day on mushy food, and I actually was waiting for the day to come around to have something but fluids to consume. I am measuring out exactly what I can have for a meal, thanks to a couple of friends who bought me a real nice digital scale, which is 2 ounces. I tried to eat the full 2 ounces today twice and was not able to. I was only able to get in a little over an ounce. But this girl is not very fond of mushy food, very much so when what I am eating does not look like what it should. I guess you can chalk that up to being in the nursing field too long, and serving pureed food to my residents. I have a texture issue when it comes to some things, regurdless on how well it tastes, if texture is not right it dont last long in my mouth.Today makes me 10 days post op. Feeling better each day, trying to move around more each day. I dont have any discomfort from the surgery in my stomach. I am fighting the pain in my back and my RA. Prior to surgery my family doctor took me off my RA medications, since they hinder healing, and did not want that to happen. I am sure feeling the effects of not being on my medication for that. umph! Taking it one day at a time, will go in and see him soon, hopefully we can get me back on track with my pain management for my pain.
