Are you on to real food yet? You must be craving things that go crunch. |

She's just starting soft food -- stuffing, mashed potatoes, muffins, mac and cheese, ... Tonight we're going out to Cheesecake Factory -- they have a huge menu so we should be able to find something. No meats or anything too hard to chew. Overall she's healing, but the referral pain in the ears, tongue and throat are still pretty bad -- she seems to be slowly weaning off the narcotics. She's really craving potato chips, beef, chocolates... hopefully in a week or so. |

I had pasta tonight in a sweet wine sauce (not ready for spicy sauces yet). Last night I made a small batch of stuffing for myself (everyone else had prime rib roast). I find that my tummy is taking some adjustment to the soft food after two weeks of liquids. I'm so sick of applesauce, pudding, Malt-O-Meal, and Ensure. Tomorrow is my two-week post op check up with the surgeon. I can feel the stitches coming out, especially when I laugh. I guess I'm swallowing them.

Wow, it really has been quite some time, hasn't it? I admire your strength; I think I'd be pretty whiney (ooh, or maybe winey ) at this point.

I told IT that as soon as I'm able, he's buying me a box of chocolates like everyone else got at Christmas except for me. And that I generally want to pig out for a few days. So that's my main whine now -- missing food and wine . . . and still waking up during the night with a sore throat. I've been dismayed how my tummy reacts now to solid soft foods like pasta and stuffing after two weeks of liquids -- the tummy is not very happy. So my hopes of pigging out on post-op day 20 are likely dashed. I guess I have to be careful as I reintroduce regular foods. I get food cravings sometimes and the other night dreamt that I was eating potato chips. I'm rather surprised I haven't yet dreamed of the ever tasty layered butter popcorn.

ZOOOOOM!

Well y'know, probably the best thing about liquid diets is that you sure don't gain any weight on them. So gorging yourself after you get off of one usually comes with no consequences. ![]() |
