I am amazed how much time has flown. I have been eating some regular foods, and today I went out for lunch and actually ordered an entree!!! It was a petite serving of red snapper, with veggies and mashed potatoes. I was overwelmed at the size of the portions that sat before me. The waiter also put a basket of 8 rolls in front of us two. soooooo much food was wasted. I did the trick of asking for the to-go box when my food arrived. I scooped most of the veggies and ALL of the potatoes, I didn't even want them near me. I do have to say it was a awesome experience knowing what I used to eat, and what I now can eat.
My biggest challenges for me today and everyday is to excersize, and water.

I had my surgery @7:30am on 10/28. Today is day 2 post op. I feel like I have been hit by a truck! The liquid meds are awesome!!! I am drinking 30cc's of water every 15 mins, I am stocked up on sf jello(strawberry-acai is the best!!) broth....I am sooo looking forward to feeling better. I know this is temporary, and not able to pick up my Daughter, is very hard.
It is really challenging figuring out when my pouch is full. I really have to stop and asess what is going on with my body. I am very happy with my choice of surgery. I soooo have my eye on the prize
