Scoot over, I am slowly joining you on the bench.

Well, I am finally on the other side. It actually went by really quick.It was a great experience, I am a stomach sleeper, so most of my issues were related to that. The hardest part of this portion of my journey was the removal of the drain and the two barium test. Yes I said two.
I wanted to see what my stomach looked like before, and of course after. Wow, I had a big stomach. Thanks to Dr. Pompa, I have a banana, and can only sip 4 spoons of broth.
I thank God for my husband. He has been strong. We recently lost his mother, 3 weeks ago, yet he was there to help me in my recovery. I must say that it has been difficult not speaking to her and hearing her encouraging voice. I know she is in a better place.
Thanks also to all of those who sent prayers and "good luck wishes".
In order to prepare for the liquid stages of my journey, I purchased the Vitamix Professional Series 500 Blender. I knew I wanted the Vitamix, it is what they use at the smoothie shop I go to. I choose this blender because I could pick it up at my local Williams-Sonoma.
I just purchased the Zoku Popsicle maker. I couldn't find Popsicles with out additives, so I decided to make my own.
Finally, a yogurt maker. I am lactose intolerant now, i suppose it will not get better.
