Thanks everyone!

I am feeling a lot better since my stomach perf.  I still get very tired and dizzy easily, but that is getting better. I think my vitamin deficiency has gone away as my legs are no longer numb. 

I still can't really eat many solids.  Crunchy stuff and liquidy stuff like cereal or yogurt work better than most things.  I eat a lot of cheese and yogurt.  It gets boring.  I almost threw up from eat some Chef Boyardee stuff recently.  I tried chicken and that made me have to sit with a bucket on my lap for a couple of hours.   And trust me, I do chew, chew, chew.  I did have a few bites of a cobb salad the other day and did fine, but they were 4 tiny bites.  I do some soft soups (as in not very chunky), too.

I'm also horrible at getting my protein in, but I am trying.  At least I can do my water now.  But it has to be ICE cold or else it just seems disgusting (which was not the case before surgery).  I also cannot eat mashed potatoes at all. They taste like dirt now (and I used to love them).
