One week post-op on Thanksgiving!!

Today was my first encounter with food outside my home. I did really well. I brought my 2 oz containers supplied to me by my angel Kim and used it to measure my food. I am still on puree so I put turkey, carrots and stuffing in the blender with a little broth from the veg. and blended. On my plate, I had this plus a teaspoon of gravy, and a teaspoon of mash potatos. Guess what, I could not finish this!! Unbelieveable I did do something wrong though. I let my pain meds run out not realizing that I needed a writen perscription. I had to ration my medicine. So I didn't have any for 8 hours. When I went home I took two teaspoons and have 1 left. I didn't realize how much pain I was still in, since I took my meds every 4 hours. I will go to my DR office tomorrow and get a new perscription. With everything that I know, what a thing to mess up on. Well, I am still thrilled with my progress so far and hope everyone had a great day. Got to go. Supper time!

Congrats on doing so well. Last year I was about one week post op on thanksgiving too. It was hard for me. You should be proud of how well you did! Keep up the good work!
