Hi there,

HOw are you doing? IT's been a little over 2 weeks now, wanted to check in. I'm doing pretty good, unfortunately I don't feel like I have any restriciton so I'm trying to be extra good about what I put in my mouth!!

I'm doing well. I have pains mainly around the port site, and I still feel a lot of gas! I have not yet advanced. Tuesday is the point where I meet a week and should be advancing, I feel like I'm ready now!!! Christmas was very difficult, but I survived!! Sometimes I'm hungry, sometimes I'm not so sure! It really depends on what I eat. If I have 4oz of ensure or 4 oz jello, I don't feel very full at all all, however if I eat a cream soup, or tomato soup, I feel more full. Maybe it's the "food" being hot. Who knows??? Today I cheated a little, I had some string cheese. I chewed it to death before I swallowed it, I thought I'd test that as it's on my "pureed" list. I handled it well, so far so good. How are you doing? How is your pain? Hunger? Diet?

Thank you for your support. I appreciate it. Honestly this website has been a savior this past month. I've learned so much and realized my concerns are so much like everyone elses. Most importantly, I'm not alone!
