Ughh the damn journal is flipping impossible!! I do good until like noon then when I get home from work I try to update it but get halfway thru the update and get distracted ugh!!   We do need to realize how important the journal is going forward so our NUT will know what she/he's working with!!  So today - I tore out all the old pages of mine and starting fresh (so far so good!).

As far as the chewing. .. it'll come in time... our insides have to heal after all that surgical trauma before we try eating solid/chewable foods!  Being a few weeks ahead of you I've progressed to "chewing" and let me tell ya... it ain't all it's cracked up to be... just more decision making and terrifying I'm doing the right thing... when I can't choose, I just have a shake LOL!!

I've been struggling myself with so many different things, I haven't hit a depression or buyers remorse state (hopefully I never will!!) I just know I have to hang in there...  ironically I changed my facebook status this morning to read:    Sometimes it's not the journey, it's the destination... keep'in my eye on the prize!     And this statement I TRULY believe!!! 

BTW, you were totally right about my "feeling blahh" comment... I've been back to work for four days and physically feeling really good - it's nice to have a schedule/regime!!!  Don't get me wrong I'd love to be independently wealthy and NOT have to work but I do love my job and what I do so I don't mind going!!!!   So this past week things have taken a turn for the better for sure!!!

Hang in there chickie

Hi Catherine,

I don't know for sure since I am not that far out but I think 3 oz is considered one serving of meat. You would probably want to stick with 3-4 oz of meat and then add some veggies, fruits and whole grains but no more than 8 oz at any one meal. Does that sound right?

I did not get the blues, but yes it can be normal.  Don't let the coordinator get to you!  You're doing awesome so far :)

I am getting so stir crazy and I just wanna chew something. a little over 2 weeks out and Im a mess. I am usually so upbeat but I hate being home and though I have healed very well so far (sept that allergic reaction to surgical tape) I am just simply miserable. Are the blues normal????

Not to mention I got reemed by the coordinator for not keeping a food journal..I seriously forgot given that I was trying to heal and other people were feeding me for the most part. UGH!

I see the nutritionist and nurse on Wednesday. maybe theyll let me drive and eat something. lol

Okay..im off to go do...something. Thanks for the support ahead of time. I need it. Bleh
