Helllooooo!! :)

How's everyone this wonderful Sunday afternoon? Its just me here.. again. Things are still going really great for me. But, I must say the recliner is getting old... lol. I'm still on clear liquids. Dr. Cummins said to stay on them for 2 weeks. I'm eating the heck out of some SF popsicles!! They are soooome kinda good considering how hot it is outside. Is it okay to eat the whole thing in one sitting? Thats what I've been doing the past 2 days and I've had no after effects or anything... so I'm assuming its okay. Its just liquid, right, and just runs right through? I must say though that I'm missing food. I miss the texture and the tastes. I was so tempted to just try the tacos my family had last night. I love me some mexican!! It smelled soooo goood!!! I didn't though because I was really afraid of the after effects, if any. I couldn't imagine puking with my left side still hurting because you use all those muscles and stuff. So, has anyone tasted real food this early? And what kind of effect did you have? Good bad or nasty, just tell me so I don't go trying it... lol. Last question for today... lol. How did everyone progress to the next stage of eating? I mean the full liquid stuff. Did you just jump in head first, or did you take it easy and try one thing at a time? I want to do the right thing and I sure don't want to have any ill side effects or anything. I feel great and getting better everyday... even walking is so much easier now than it was 4 days ago. Okay, I won't bore you with anymore rambling from me! I'm just bored and have nothing else to do then sit here and talk (type) to a computer... lol. Have a great day!! Karine

Karine, The popsicle is fine. It's just liquid. How is your stomach feeling? Still crampy or better? DON'T TRY THE FOOD!!! You DON'T want to puke with a sore stomach! TRUST ME!!! Ok, on the subject of next stage progression. The best thing to do is try one at a time, that way you will know what it was that made you sick.... or HOPEFULLY didn't! How's that for encouragement? Some angel I am huh? No, I know it sounds exciting to start tasting food again, but you will be amazed at how LITTLE you'll be able to eat. Trying another food probably won't even be an issue because you just won't want it. Hope this helps! HUGS K

I aint telling you what i had when i was first out , dont want you to try it! haha I was on liquids protein drinks and such for a week then i had soft foods i NEVER pureed anything that wasnt ment to be mushy, just couldnt stomach it!!
