It’s that time!!! I’m finally graduating from bottles to Gerbers tomorrow. I’m actually waiting until tomorrow for my first trip to the grocery store as I don’t want to tempt myself too much. I’m thinking mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs, sloppy Joe with no bun, yogurt, pudding, cream of wheat, tuna with soft avocado and a Ricotta cheese baked dish (there’s a yummy looking recipe somewhere in the forums). Not all in one day, of course!

I can’t believe I made it this far. I literally thought, what the French did I do when I came home from the hospital and now it’s like ok, what’s the next step? This is definitely a journey like no other in my life. I’ve been reading the forums and seeing how people felt just like me after surgery. Regret, pain, anxiety about losing my favorite foods, just to name a few feelings. The bottom line is, we’re here. Decision made. We can’t go back, I mean we can, but then our insurance companies would have a fit and dump us. There are only the possibilities of tomorrow so I need to let any regrets go.

I’m a bit nervous about eating for the first time. Will there be new pain?

All mushie ideas and recipes welcome!!
