so lunch with mom was good. i wasted money on the buffet but the egg drop soup, sushi centers and a little sweet potato was yummy didn't really eat much now that I think about it. spoon full or two of sweet potato, soup, and 3 sushi centers (mashed) and i called it quits. feeling much better today than yesterday. going to go back to work half day on tuesday i think.

Taking Mom out to Lunch
My parents are visiting up from North Carolina and of course today is Mother's Day and we are taking her to her favorite restaurant... Chinese Buffet. Of course, it is my favorite too!! Not quite one week post surgery and I am thinking some egg drop Soup is about all I will be able to eat unless someone can give me more ideas???

Feeling Defeated
Surgery was on Tuesday.. I'm having a difficult time getting in my Protein and drinking my fluids and am having a lot of gas pain. I know there is an end in sight but I'm ready to feel normal. How long before I start to feel "normal"? Normal meaning no pain and feeling good?

EASY WAY OUT, MY @$$
my nutritionist was all for it and said she would help me through the rough parts with the diet and would be there if/when I needed her. i suppose i am lucky in that regard. i did always wonder if people would say something like "taking the easy way out"... but I decided a long time ago not to let what others think get to me. my decision, my health, and my life. period

walking is what has worked for me best. and just letting it out when it needs to exit

i am really only having pain from the gas I think. I did get to sleep on my side cuddled up to a pillow. that seemed to help. Hurts some when I try to cough, haven't taken any pain meds since yesterday around noon. i am just ready to be normal again. normal meaning get in the green zone. oh my... that sneeze hurt lol
