So yesterday I started eating soft food ans might have been a little ambitious. I had half a scrambled egg in the morning. It just didn't taste as good as I had hoped it would and after a couple bites, I was done. My stomach should be able to hold a half cup, but I did what they told me and stopped when I wasn't hungry rather that when I felt full. I had a little of a casserole for lunch (it was on my list!) And that's when it started to hurt. It's like a super intense heartburn right in the middle of your chest every time you swallow. Still felt pretty good though. Last night I had half a meatball, some mashed potatoes and a couple cooked carrots. Even the mashed potatoes hurt. I fell asleep in Gibbs room while putting him to bed and stayed there all night. This morning I felt kinda blah. I made my protein drink and went to the grocery store. When I got back, I started feeling nausea. I never actually threw up but not for lack of trying. I finally called the doc who told me that sometimes people take longer to heal and to go back to liquid until Monday. I took some anti-nausea medicine and started to feel better. If it is going to hurt that way, I will stick with liquids forever. You can find some tasty liquids! It will be worth it when I can look in the mirror and not be disgusted. I did try on old pants today and while the jeans were all too small, I now have 6 "new" pairs of dress pants! I can't wait to see how or if people react when we go back on Monday!
