There have been a few changes this last week I would like to share with you guys.
I am finally able to "enjoy" full liquids. I dont know how anyone could really enjoy cream soups, blech! Still really dont like to eat them, but I am trying to "embrace" it until soft foods come in.
What I do like is drinking the protein power stuff and WATER! I love love love water. I am thirsty all the time though which is really kinda annoying. I drank water all the time pre surgery, so to sip sip sip literally ALL DAY can be quite annoying and tedious. I am doing it though, it is necessary. Plus the more I drink, the less thirsty I will be. I HOPE!
Tomorrow is my first post op appointment when I will get to weigh in and check my status of how I am doing. I am excited about this, but not so excited about riding in the car that long. The car is the worst thing. Hopefully I will get my drain out too. If you did not know about that, you are lucky. Basically I have a drain in my abdomen to release excess fluid. That really is probably the most annoying part of this whole thing. I have a really weak stomach, but know after having this, I really feel like I could handle anything....Just about!
Anyway, I will try to post some pictures soon of my progress and some amusing pictures from the past week.
Thanks again for all of your prayers and support.
Ms.Emily...I'm glad you are 'enjoying' your liquids! :) Can't wait to see pictures! Also...let me know when you need more protien powder and I will have Nick pick some up for you (if you'd like). Talk to you later....
