He said that protein is the first thing that should go in my mouth, everytime I eat. I am just scared I will dump, but I have to learn, I will just try one new thing a day. I love TB...PINTOS AND CHEESE WITH HOT SAUCE. I stopped on my way home from Lex. Yesterday,When i ordered the guy said is that all you want. "I was like yes."He said .90 cents.

Happy Halloween!!!!!!!!!!
I am feeling so much better,I have got some sleep. Yesterday I carved a pumpkin yesterday. I went and bought Steven and Samantha some candy. I figure i made this choice,they shouldn't have to go by what i have to. The only thing that is bothering me is my back. I got sleep with Steven, Sat,Sun. Back in my own bed. I have been walking up and down my road also. Everyone that see's me says you look great for someone who just had surgery. I didn't even have to get my pain meds filled when i came home. I have been drinking liquids for so long.........I love the broth the best. I also am having,diet snapple,decaf tea,sf koolaid,water,propel water. Tomm i go back for my post op and i should get to have a few things added. I have stuck by this plan to the t. I'm using my new tool correctly. Well i'll post later

I still didn't get any sleep. I went to bed at 3am and got up at 6am, helped get samantha off to school. Then i layed down at 7am and awake at 10am so a little sleep. I have alot off dirr.....today like drink then bathroom...same thing all day. I hope this goes away soon lol.. My butt is sore. I have been walking today i even went to the groc. then i went and took samantha to MCD'S and it reall wasn't as bad as i had been told. She right with me when she ate, so i think that was good. I just did't want alot of changes because she didn't do this. So i took my baby and feed her. Maybe in a couple of weeks things will get back to normal. I also have fixed supper 2 nights in a row. We always like a meal together. I have to do this I have no choice,it has to work i keep sayin. Well gotta sleep....later
