I'm an ICU nurse, but enjoying my time off right now!

I'm still on pureeds, so I've been having baby food, pureed soups, I pureed some jamalaya the other day and it was nice to have some flavor (even though Im really not supposed to have spicey food yet!). I made some spinach and herb dip from tastefully simple with plan greek yogurt instead of mayo and I plan on mixing it with some canned chicken in my magic bullet. I've also had smooth peanut butter, yogert, cream of wheat, and my fave is a high protein pumpkin dessert I made with 15 oz pumpkin, 2 pks sugar free fat free vanilla pudding mix, 2 scoops protein powder, 1 cup skim milk, and 8 oz fat free cream cheese. I should have halved it b/c it made 4 cups and I can only eat 1/4 cup at a time! I figured that 1/2 cup has about 100 cal, almost no fat, and like 11 grams of protein.

Congrats! This surgery wasn't nearly as bad as I expected! The hardest part for me is eating and drinking SLOWLY. I'm on pureed foods now, so its nice to have a little more variety. The Florence Mall is fairly nice, not the best in the area but not bad either, and they still have the Florence Y'all Tower!!!
