My mom and I went out to my first dinner yesterday, I had Grilled Talapia with beans and potatoes and it was good which is crazy cause I DONT eat fish but like they say, things change.......... I ate about 1/4 of the fish, 1/2 the beans and a few small scoops of the taters and I was good.

It has been a week or so since I have posted. Man, I am so freaking hungry! I have my 2 week follow up tomorrow and I am going to ask with a little demanding that I be allowed to progress to soft solids! This has been very hard mentally! All of my friends and family eating what they want and when they want. Jack in the box, KFC, Burger King, Chilis, TGI Fridays, the list goes on and on. OMG I want I want I want and I cant have :o( ughhhhhhhhh I am trying to stay strong and focus on the long term picture but it is VERY HARD!!!

Man do I take my lil apartment and all the things in it for granted!
What was suppose to be a 1 night stay turned into 3 night stay. I had complications with my heart. I was doing Good Tuesday Afternoon when I woke up(Except when I woke up the first time from thes surgery, OMG I thought I was dieing I was in so much pain) and then wed afternoon came and my pulse shot up to 130's then 150's the 160's. They called an emergency Cardiologist in and I had to go through all the immediate heart test. He has me on some heart med to control the beats for now. I have to follow up with him in 1 week and we will re access. He said it could of been stress from the surgery or there may be a underlying heart condition. I think it was just stress. ANYWAYS, today it has been in the 80's-90's range which is normal, THANK GOD!! If I had to stay 1 more day I was gonna go CRAZY. My whole body is sooooooo sore from the hospital bed. I am on a liquid diet for the next 2-3 weeks. I am drinking flavored water, protien drinks, V8 Juice, JELLO, Pudding and my mom is making me 13 bean soup for an additional way to get protien(we are gonna have to puree & then strain for only the juice).
OMG the GAS - It's the worst part! I still havent passed it all :o( BUT I am trying
Thanks for all the prayers and check ins. I am ok :o)

Today I had an appointment with the 2nd surgeon at Neweigh, The Woodlands office, Jorge Leiva MD. He is confident that I will do well with this surgery, I hope he is right. Right after our consult, I called and scheduled the surgery. The date is 3/31/2009. I am shaking in my boots! I am scared and nervous but deep down there is excitement. I am hoping that this will be a new chapter in my life.
