Last week of the liquid diet

Apr 26, 2011

I will be SO glad when the liquid diet is over! I didn't believe my doctor when she went on this big lecture about not chewing food and spitting it out, and becoming obsessed with cooking shows and watching other people (family and friends) eating, but SERIOUSLY I'm there. Well, not with the whole chewing and spitting, but I can't say I haven't thought about it either. I am avoiding family dinners because I'm afraid I might slip. I can do this. It's only one more week, but MAN THIS IS HARD!! I did have my first WOW moment though! I wore a pair of pants to work today (2nd day back since surgery) and they were SO baggy I could hold a handful of material on each hip. I didn't even realize it until a coworker pointed out how much baggier the clothes looked than before. Cut to me in the restroom posing in front of the mirror checking out my hips from every angle. I'm sure I'll be doing that A LOT more!! This kept me from going crazy...now I just need to make it til Monday!! And I have to say I'm a little obsessed about what soft food I should try first!! I'll probably only be able to handle one or two bites and have to chew well, but so many things on my soft foods list sound really good right now. Well everything sounds good right now! Any suggestions?
