Time for a snack

Even though my diet has widened to soft food, I have limits. Peanut butter is number one yummy snack.

I never appreciated food so much, not until good things were limited.

It still is slow going, but every day is one day closer to normal.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

Food update

After having my post-operative appointment today I was given the go-ahead to add soft food to my diet.

Happy day! But I must take my time, chew a lot, and not eat too much at once. More tiny meals ahead of me

Celebrating today!

A peachy change

I continue with my liquid diet after my stomach operation. Today I added a tiny change.

I’m really getting bored with all the broth and liquids I am allowed to eat. This little bit of peach sauce made my day.

Hopefully, by next week mashed potatoes and other mushy food will also be allowed.

One day at a time

Tired but okay.

I tire out easily and I’m very tired of my Full Liquid diet, which will continue for another week. At least it’s not a clear liquid diet like I had right after the operation.

I love Chinese egg drop soup but have to drain out the egg bits. I also have to take any mushroom and chicken bits out of canned creamed soup.

Even with sipping soup. It goes down slowly and hurts some. It may take me an hour to eat.

Rachel just went home after being here a week. She could work on the Internet, so Rae had the opportunity to be with me as I readjusted to home.

My children have taken care of me. I appreciate each and every one of them.

Now I’m tired.

A special diet snack

Not much of a diet, but I appreciate even the small snacks I get.

I’m drinking a lot of clear liquids which are okay and very necessary.

At least, there’s an end to this diet … eventually. I am counting down the days. I know I’ll be on a special diet after my operation and then ease into a regular diet, but that’s okay. I can manage.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.
