Keeping it honest Friday...

Well lemme see... Its Friday at 730 am. I've had... hot decaffienated tea. BLEHHHHHHHHHHH Thursday I had: 1. yellow jello 2. chicken broth 3. orange jello 4. chicken broth 5. red jello LOTS of decaf hot tea, some water, and um, thats it. I gained 9 lbs while I was in the hospital. I have a HUMONGOUS hematoma, where they couldn't get the bleeding to stop, so all the blood is kind of trapped there, and I look like I'm preggers on one side of my belly. My incisions look pretty cool under the little steri-strips, and I am high as a kite on vicodin! weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Michele

You name your jello like I do my jelly beans...by color! Glad to see your 'eating' though How long on liquids? Vicodin! The food of the dogs - er um gods lol

48 more hours to go on liquids. Then I can go to pureed for 7 days. No caffiene, no pop, etc. I think the vicodin is taking care of my caffeine withdrawals Michele

So pureed by Sunday???

Naw. I started pureed today. I tried pureed chicken vegetable soup - BLEH. It tasted ok, but the texture was disgusting. So I strained it. That was better. I've had no sugar added applesauce, with splenda and cinnamon a few times, some jello, lots of hot tea. Oh and tried some new england clam chowder WITHOUT pureeing it, just chewed it real well. But that didn't set real well, made me feel way too full and just kinda gross in general. Nibbled on a few white tortilla chips, and a small piece of pineapple too. Can you tell I'm HUNGRY? Michele

LOL I can't do pureed! At all! I 'pureed' with my teeth lol. Told my doc too - he just grinned. Guess I really AM a rebel (without a cause or a clue most likely lol)> Chowder - man I'll be the fat content is what made you feel gross.

Youre probably right about the fat content, as usual

Not trying to be right, brat! LOL

Oh, Its good to see you I am sorry that you and your daughter are sick. Hope you both feel better real soon. Thanks for posting this post. Lots of nerves and anxiety going on. Went to my pre op in a ice storm. Took us 2 hrs. 45 min. Normally its a 2 hour trip. I was a wreck. Now for the big trip back on Thursday. Yahoo!!! Have a good day. Hugs,Betty

Aah thanks! We're doing better! Ugh on the snow! I hate driving in snow! (((HUGS))) Oh about the hot cocoa. I have had it just plain mixed with water and liked it fine. I do tend to drink uit in my coffee - I also like it with cinnamon and/or powdered creamer or with syrup (Davinci hazelnut) in it. I'm weird though and don't like things overly sweet.
