The clam chowder was good, I added some pepper and garlic salt which set it off nicely. My favorite breakfast is cream of wheat (w s&p and ff butter spray), ff cottage cheese and purreed banana and blueberries.

The jarred baby food meats are terrible, the fruits and vegetables are ok. I have been grinding smoked turkey which is good. I return to work Wed. (Yay!....Not LOL) I'll talk to ya soon- Pat

Good Deal! I'm so glad your doing well. I just had breakfast and ate a 1/4 cup of cream of wheat, 1/4 cup of Vanilla Yogurt, and a 1/4 cup of Apple sauce which was ok but yesterday for lunch I had a LB Tanksgiving Dinner LOL...Pureed smoked Turkey, Mashed Potatoes and some Cranberry Applesauce which was Devine! I handled the mushy food no problem. I have yet to have any of the (typical) side effects and I did see some improvement with "the problem" today.

Speaking of Clam Chowder I have a can in the cupboard I think that will be todays lunch. I am now about to start my walking. I hope you have a GREAT DAY! TTYS-Pat

Well the doctor put me on an antibiotic because of the Diahreah. So I have to crush this pill up 3 times a day and mix it into food. The thing tastes truly GOD-AWFUL!

Anyway, today for breakfast I had half a cup of strained cream of Shrimp soup and about half a cup of Key Lime yogurt (I know thats a terrible idea especially for breakfast) not sure what I was thinking. I just don't like the baby rice cereal and have yet to try cream of Wheat. For Lunch I realized that I could move onto pureed food Week 2 Yippee! so... I mushed up some Cottage cheese and had a half cup of strained Cream of Onion soup. Then for dinner I had a half cup of Apple sauce and some SF Vanilla Pudding. I've had to really make it a concious effort to drink plenty of fluids. Been drinking Power Zero which is really good and 0 calories. It tastes like a Jolly Rancher, and is .89 cents for a 32 oz. Bottle. I'll talk to ya soon! Hope your recover continues going real well.

Thanks for dropping by and leaving some encouragement. It is getting better day by day .

Oh and BTW I hope your cold passes quickly!

I live in the Memphis TN area. I was hoping that through that post I might've found some sort of a support group in my area but I think there just is'nt one. But I'm so glad you responded because it's nice to at least have a friend going through the same stuff even if we are separated by distance.

I am now thru day 5 and doing SOOO much better. I've done the full liquids for 2 days now and that is much better than the clear liquids. Today I felt so alive and happy, I cleaned the house (even the bathroom LOL) and then went out and flew a kite with a buddy. I hope I did'nt push it too hard, I just felt inspired. Anyway, likewise...feel free to write as often as you like, I need all the friends I can get thru this.

Thanks for sharing on the thread I posted. Sounds to me like we are going thru the exact same stuff. It's actually good to hear that I'm not alone in this and the "after effects". Like you said, I'm sure after a week life will get brighter. I can't wait! It's gonna be so good to be on the road to a better life. I sent a friend request. I guess you could say we have the same birthday so to speak. And feel free to write me anytime. Thanks again.- Patrick
