  1. Full liquid but includes "some" other things as long as its creamy
  2. 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.
  3. had some egg drop soup, sweet potato fluff, and tore out the middle of some sushie for the avacoda, salmon and cream cheese and mashed it up. man was that good!
  4. 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???
  5. Yep! I'm doing awesome! Thanks. Today is a better day.
  6. Well, that is something I haven't been doing... not since Wednesday. Guess I will try taking some and see if that helps.
  7. It's the gas.. dealing with it too. worst part as far as I can tell
  8. I can't wait.. i don't feel my port but that gas and indigestion is awful.
  9. I hear ya. I don't want to eat either and anytime I eat or drink it stays there. I walk and walk and it works for a while. but i am miserable
  10. 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?
  11. what an inspiration! i need to get some photos of myself just for the encouragement. great job!
  12. 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
  13. walking is what has worked for me best. and just letting it out when it needs to exit
  14. doing ok. finally getting some of the gas out of me and a bowl movement.. that made a difference. still just sleepy and tired.
  15. 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
  16. Good luck! Congrats! piece of cake...ok well not quite cake... lol but you will do just fine!
  17. the walking has been the best thing for me today. i get to have some creamy cereal or soup tomorrow.. so excited! i wore a loose fitting dress and flip flops as well.
