Oatmeal: The New Steak Dinner..err..Breakfast!

Who knew oatmeal could taste so good?! Today is my first day of mushies and I started the day with a nice bowl of oatmeal. Then I had a protein shake for a snack to complete that portion of protein I needed this morning. For lunch I'm going to have tuna and mashed potatoes. Strange combo, but what is "normal" at this point? Ha!

 

I'm in basically no pain (besides a little tenderness at the port site), so I feel up to working out today. Nothing too strenuous, but definitely the treadmill and bike...maybe some arms weights. We'll see how that feels.

 

Last night I had what I THINK was gas pain in my shoulder. Either that or I strained it somehow. But I hadn't had any gas pain up to this point. Anyway, I took some GasEx just in case and some liquid Tylenol and went to bed. Felt like a million bucks this morning, so that did the trick.

 

So, not much else to report today so far! How is everyone else doing today? I hope you are all well!!

I always think oatmeal smells good, but once I put it in my mouth, I can't get it out fast enough! I guess it is a texture issue.

In my opinion, variety is good. So who cares if the combinations are normal.

Glad you are doing well!!
