Well....I visited my primary care physician this morning. He is thrilled with my progress. That was encouraging because it feels like it is going slowly. Slight infection from where the drain was but otherwise everything is looking good. I am thankful for that. I am feeling depressed still, but as the doc said, anyone who gets to drink protein 6 times a day and call it food is bound to feel depressed, so know that even that is going to get better. So, am feeling more hopeful today than yesterd
Today is the first day that I can add something to my diet (beside protein shakes). I made drinkable oatmeal this morning. My tummy didn't love that, but maybe 1/2 cup is too much.

Last night at the dinner table I sat and wept over my protein drinks because I was so weary of fighting my desire for food all day. He came over a
6/23/14 Today I am feeling so much better that I am loving life. It is still weird to have to drink and eat protein shakes when I'd rather do neither, but I am getting 'er done! I am feeling encouraged and excited to see what the future is going to hold for me. I'm glad I had the operation!
