Ok, so I've basically started already. But officially I'm going on soft food, yay for me!

My swelling is down, so I have zero restriction, and I can eat ANYTHING! Which is really really really bad!

I'm going to call and see if I can get an early fill or something. I'm even pooping on regular intervals, which isn't a bad thing, just odd because everyone else has problems.

Farting is GREAT! I just keep blaming my surgery and the kids buy it!:smile: Isn't it great to blame something like that on surgery? I think so!

I finally broke down and told my mom that I had surgery. I was shocked, and I mean shocked at what she said. :eek::thumbup:

She said she was proud of me for doing something good for me! She was so happy! She is one who I was scared to tell. She never approves of anything I do. When I went and started breeding huskies, all she and dad said is, "I'm glad your husband loves you.....he's a saint". So, as you can tell, I didn't want to tell them. Well mom called and told me dad wasn't doing well. She is planning his 80th birthday and wants all 7 kids there as a suprise. So we are flying out Aug 6th-9th. I will still be on mushies so I wanted to warn her. I'm glad that's over with!

Anyway, love to all and Stacy, I hope you all the best and you feel better real soon! Rhonda...... you rock! I'm proud of you for not throwing up your hands and saying, just take it out already!!!!!!

love you!

I am SO HAPPY your told your mom and she is supporting you. That has to feel great!! I'm finding it easier to tell people. Maybe this damn liquid diet is making me tougher. LOL I don't care quite somuch about the negative comments. I figure if they're not talking about me they're talking about someone else.

LOL The "take it out" thought DID cross my mind!

I'm so happy you're going to mushie land. I'm sure it's a beautiful place!:smile:

Have a great day!
