Bliss

[summerseeker 2,361]

Its day 15 for me and I am beginning to feel human again. I was able to sleep lying flat instead of sitting propped up. Almost cried at the comfort. Yesterday I had 4 hours of a vomiting spell, I dont know the reason for it, I only had a small amount of thin Soup beforehand. Could anyone on my time line let me know what you are eating and the amounts please. I am drinking well and dont have a problem there.

I'm day 22 and this time last week I was eating just purees, about 1/4 - 1/3 cup 2 or 3 times a day. Mostly whatever my family was having for dinner (I cook everything from scratch here) really well blended with broth or gravy. And I was spitting out anything that didn't blend properly just to be on the safe side (gristle from meat etc.) Smooth oatmeal with apple sauce about 1/3 cup total for Breakfast or supper. chicken Soup with added Protein Powder for lunch. About 4-5 small portions of something spread over the day. I still had a Protein Shake every morning and I was drinking loads of coffee with milk and added skimmed milk powder - that's about 4g Protein per mug.

I started soft foods yesterday and boy is it filling compared to purees! I'm actually going to have to time it carefully to make sure I get my fluids in too - couldn't face anything for about 2.5 hours after my fish pie filling last night (about two tablespoons, LOL). If anyone had told me this a few weeks ago I would have laughed at them.

I know exactly what you mean about the sleeping position I almost cried with joy the first time I could lie on my side again. Sounds like you're doing really well! 👊
