2 weeks out - just general blabbing

Wow... this has been a wild 2 weeks.  It's gotten better each day and I haven't had any complications *thank goodness*.  I had my drain and staples removed on Wednesday.  I was so scared that having the drain out would hurt, but it didn't.  Just weird - like when a baby rolls.  I feel so much better since having that stuff out!  I'm also finally able to eat soft foods.  Learning to eat all over again can be frustrating!  I'm so scared that I am going to eat too much.   So far I have tried sugar-free pudding, refried beans w/ cheese and sour cream, 1/2 of a soft scrambled eggs w/ salsa, sour cream, and cheese, chili from wendy's, and a little baked potato with cheese, sour cream & butter.   I think I am going to start measuring how much I eat of stuff. It's so odd eating such a small amount.  I need to try to get more protein in my diet.  I really don't wanna go bald.  It's just finding a protein I like is SO hard!   Well... this was just a little update - Oh and I have lost 12lbs since surgery.  I have also lost a total of 53lbs since November.   Take care- ~Amber~

Glad all is going good. Wow! 53 lbs. That is awesome  Go Amber. Ellen
