Coming Up...

Dec 16, 2010

So, since progressing to "mushies" things are a lot better. (Just like everyone said).  I'm getting a little bored with my options, so I got some gyro meat today with some cucumber sauce and feta cheese- soooo good.  Not sure how "mushy" it is, but it's not like a steak or something.  The meat is really tender and basically falls apart as you're eating it.  It's close enough for me!

I'm kind of noticing that my tastes are changing. For example, I used to hate feta cheese!  I think I just want some different tastes and textures so bad that I'm willing to eat almost anything. (Except blue cheese.. that's still gross and possibly life threatening due to my pcn allergy.)

My first and husby's second follow up is in a couple of weeks.  I can't wait to see how far I've progressed then.  So far, I'm down 35 lbs since a week before surgery, but I'm not doing well AT ALL on liquids or vitamins.  Protein has improved since mushies.. I'd guestimate 50-60 grams per day (at least 30 of which is a shake).  Hopefully that number will go up a bit when I'm able to eat more, but my restriction is still really really good, so I can't eat more than a few spoonfuls at a time (about 3-4 tablespoons of food per meal). 

BUT I'm lucky if I remember to take my multi 2-3 times per week, and I never remember the calcium.  I need to get in gear!
