WHERE ARE MY AUGUST 2021 PEEPS?
Monday starts the first day of a "regular diet" which isn't regular in my book.. lol Its been an easy journey for the most part for me. Surgery was August 2nd, and It really was better than I anticipated. Now I do waste a lot of food now, Haven't mastered this food thing yet. Soft foods I can eat now, and I had a soft taco and didnt finish it. This is new territory for me and im glad I made the decision

August 2nd surgery and I had to get my first IV drip for dehydration.. 1 hour of IV is a lot simpler than sipping an ounce or two of water every ten minutes lol.. I’m trying my best to stay on my liquid and protein.. I start puree diet Monday and i’m dreading that

lol had mine on the 2nd as well... its hard for me to get protein as well.. I never thought to put the powder in gatorade, I will try it! I cant eat mashed potatoes until the puree stage! I think that stage will be harder for me than the liquid stage.. I am looking forward to mashed potatoes tho lol. Counting the days, I start that phase on Monday!

WHERE ARE MY AUGUST 2021 PEEPS?
Ive never had surgery before.. Ive only been put under once in my life when I was about 12, and that as because I broke my leg and they had to shift it back in place , dont know why they put me to sleep for that, maybe because pain would be too much for a 12 year old... but here I am 45 getting put under for a 2nd time... First actual surgery
