Went to my one month appointment today and got cleared for soft food. First time I've eaten with the family in over a month.

We had salmon, mashed potatoes and strawberries. It was so nice to feel like a normal human being.

I told him at the appointment that I am feeling so lethargic. He said it's because some people just don't have energy on puréed foods. I can't stand puréed meat so I haven't had it in a long time. He said that now that I can eat more normal food I should get my energy back.

It feels so good to eat normal food. I don't think I even ate a full cup of food but it was great!

IM 8 WEEKS OUT NEXT WED.. I REALLY MISSED SITTING DOWN FOR DINNER WITH MY LIL FAMILY... AND OF THAT FIRST REAL MEAL WAS SO GOOD... BUT SPENDING TIME WITH MY GIRLS AND HUBBY WAS EVEN BETTER THAN THE FOOD... FUNNY HOW YOU REALLY MISS JUST A NORMAL DINNER TIME... BUT SO BLESSED AND HAPPY WITH MY SLEEVE.. BEST OF LUCK TO YOU..

It was great. Just so amazing now I had maybe an ounce of salmon, a 1/4 cup of potatoes and two strawberries and I was full. And I felt satisfied.

That's awesome something I'm very much looking forward to! It's easy to feel like you will never feel normal again. And of course it will be a new normal but at least eat like a person again.

We had sandwhiches for lunch. Well they did. I just had string cheese and ham and it was good!
