  13. Hello, I'm doing good. My Thanksgiving was great. I went to my sisters house and I drank my shake with no problem while they enjoyed the wonderful food. I was so proud of my self. Today is my first day of soft foods. I had a egg and I mad a bad decision when I chose fruit. I purchased pineapple not thinking about how tough the meat would be to chew. So I'm off to the store later the day.
  14. I'm feeling great. I'm able to get all my Fluid in. . My energy level is good . I think I over did it yesterday with my wii fit but this morning I'm great.
