Some of my new friends on Aprilbandsters requested I talk more about food. Ah, the subject I think about constantly. : ) I'm still officially on liquids but am transitioning into mushies which I'll be on officially on day 14 (I'm day 9 today). I've been enjoying creamed soups a lot, never can eat more than 1/2 cup at a time. Last night I went to dinner with the Utahbandster group and had about 1/2 a cup of potatoe-cheese soup, it was yummy, then I had about a scoop of ice cream with a little chocolate on it. This is of course while my bandster buddies ate shrimp and chicken-pot-pie and chicken fingers, and salad and pie for dessert. They have no shame! Actually, I was fine, I enjoyed my soup and felt very full when I was finished. Funny how the feeling of fullness still makes me feel guilty, even if I only eat 200-300 calories at a time. Silly, but a hard habit to break.

So I have been trying a few soft foods, like mashed potatoes (mmm) and cream o wheat, I even had about 1/2 a scrambled egg today for lunch. I went to the gym today too, and walked for 30 minutes, that felt good, although by the end my incisions were stinging a bit. Not too bad though. I took the tape off my incisions, and I think that was a bit early, it kinda ripped the scabs off, ew. I think I was supposed to leave them on till they fell off, but I was impatient. Word to the wise, don't do as I do. : )
