It's so amazing that I can never really see the changes when I'm looking at the pictures on my camera, or even after I've uploaded them, but when you put them side by side with my pre-surgery pics, they are very evident. :)
One thing the nutritionist said I could try again is carbonated drinks. He said half of the people handle it fine, and the other half have problems. I took two sips of a Coke Zero yesterday, and I handled it fine, but I didn't like the taste at all. It tasted almost like a club soda--not even sweet. I used to LOVE Coke Zeros. Oh well...at least I know I'm not missing anything. I've tried pasta since they gave me the all clear, which is one of the things I've missed most, and it's been great. I haven't felt sick after I've eaten in well over two weeks, so I think I'm finally learning to eat slowly, and when to stop. I had some Mrs. Grasses soup yesterday, and today I had a little microwavable spaghetti and meatballs. Tonight for dinner I made some homemade baked potato soup and beer bread. They were both great--I had about 3/4 cup of the soup, and 1/3 of a slice of the bread. I'm really fine with just having a 'taste' of something and having it satisfy me. We got these gourmet apples on Wednesday night from some guests we had over for dinner. One of them was a Reese's caramel apple, and the other was an apple pie apple. Tonight after dinner, I had a tiny bite of the apple pie one, and then a no sugar added fudgesicle. Just that little bite was all I needed.
Earlier today I told Chris that eating has become somewhat of a chore lately. I need to break out of my rut and try some different foods. Every three hours I stand in front of the fridge/pantry, thinking "I'm not hungry...but I have to eat. I guess I'll have ______". I guess it's a good problem to have. :)
Well, that was two posts in two days. Like I said, I will probably post more now that I'm tracked out. Nighty night! :)
