Hey, Rachel is that you? I knew you were staying longer & I didn't get to tell you goodbye. I hope this is you, but, regardless , don't be too hard on yourself about the Soup. If it didn't make u sick, count your blessings & move on. Drinking from a straw can add air to the pouch which can be uncomfortable & we just have to try to do the best we can. I've had my screw ups too. But , I think of it this way, we are eating & drinking a lot healthier than we were before!!!!
You are going to do well. Your determination, independence, & motivation was inspiring. You got this !!!!!
I going shakes at Wal-Mart (silver package with blue writing) that are good. (Not so much the strawberry, but the chocolate - yes. I 'm still walking often, but I'm not over straining myself. I think we can tend to forget that we just went through major surgery & our bodies are in shock & adjusting.
Anyway, I REALLY hope this is you or I'm going to feel silly. I made it back to Nebraska & trying to get in the swing of things.
I'm excited for the journey we are on. I have to remember to take measurements & pictures so I can document my progress.
Take care.
