Day 6 Post-op 4/15/10

I took my measurments today but I am not ready to share that on this blog. I will keep that info in the personal written journal I am keeping. Let's just say SCARY!!!!! Today I am able to start a "soft" diet. But guess what ?!? Yep this freaks me out!!! I know it is crazy but it does. It is almost 3:00 in the afternoon and I haven't tried anything. Yesterday for the most part the shoulder pain wasn't that bad but today it has come back with a vengance!!! I got up to walk around and see if I could get some of the gas out and decided to try and pick up the kitchen a bit. One of the things cluttering up the island in the kitchen was my TvFood Magazine. It made me stop and realize how much of my life is tied/connected to food in one way or another. I finally got the courage tonight to try some "soft" food. I tried some malt-o-meal. I got out my "Bozo" spoon from childhood and went for it. In my fear I got the malt-o-meal too watery and ended up throwing most of it out. Not a successful 1st attempt. The "Bozo" spoon made me think of my childhood at my grandparents house so I called and told Bampa the story. He of course cracked up!! He said he would tell Nana and I am sure she cracked up too. Funny how I am using the spoon that I first learned how to eat with to learn how to eat in my "new" life. I ended up making a capuccino protein shake. Today was the first day really that I felt pretty much back to myself.
