Day 1 of Mush Diet!

Today started off very energized and pain-free.. Yea!!

I woke up, did my devotion time, then immediately went out to walk (Nathan and Sydney go with me, too) and increased the number of laps around my street this time to 3!! Felt great and accomplished, considering this is the 1 week mark from surgery day! WOW!

Then I cooked some cream of wheat (plain) and added 1 tsp of margerine, and some salt. I measured me out 2 tbsp which was just right. Tasted heavenly.... though I'm not naive...after 8 days of broth... anything tastes good! :) The cream of wheat was tolerated JUST FINE! :)

By this time I was a little in need of a break (did alot in an hour, endurance is still an issue).... so I laid down for a little nap... not so bad!

Then for lunch, I took Nathan through the drive thru of Taco Bell... ordered him tacos, and ordered myself Pinto's and Cheese.. YUM! And I just ate my 2 tbsp of that and am tolerating that just fine too!! :) YEAHOO! I was a little worried about the beans, since they are heavy, but it was just fine, I just ate very slow!

I was looking forward to this day, but also fearful (to be honest), because I was afraid that I would find I couldn't tolerate actual food, and that when introduced, I would be sick! But all is well... and I feel good about this next 2 weeks! Oh the posibilities of MUSH! :) LOL!!!

Mush = anything you want, put into a blender and made into baby-food consistency. (Staying away from bread, pasta, rice, etc for 2-3 months, they gum up...Also staying away from high fat, high sugar foods... blended or not)

Lost another pound today.. total: 16
