one week (plus 1 day) post-op checkup today...

I am so loving this.  The first week was, admittedly, tough.  But now that I am experiencing the results, it's not quite so painful.  And, I'm not that far away from solids.

Congrats! And I know how you feel, I was so excited when I got to eat cream of wheat, YUM!

Thanks!  I get Cream of Wheat on December 11th!  The calendar is marked.

That's teriffic!  Bet you never thought you would rejoice about eating creamed soups and yogurt!  I remember how good they tasted after all that jello and broth - YUCK!  Sounds like you are on the right track and have a good positive attitude.  Keep doing just what the doctor and nurses say and you'll have great success. Way to go!  Hooray for you!!! Jane

Thank you Jane,  It's been a fast 2 weeks, but every time I had to sip that broth, or try to take a bite of jello, time would just stop.  It is so great to move up on liquids!  And, now I have dates for when I can move to pureed and solids.  It's not that far away.
